Wimbledon Womble Triathlon

 Next year will be a very exciting year for the Windmilers Multisport section as we have been selected as one of three locations in London to run a 2012 legacy event for triathlon. The Wimbledon Womble* Triathlon will take place on Sunday 29th April and will be based at Kings College School in Wimbledon Village. The triathlon will be focused on novice participants and will include a project prior to the event in which we will train up a group of young people between the ages of 16-25 in order to encourage greater sporting participation in London. The race itself will incorporate approximately 420m swim, a 12k cycle and a 5k run. We hope that this will be the first year of many for the race.  We wanted to share this exciting news with you for a number of reasons. Whilst we hope that all the club's experienced triathletes will be helping us out with the running of the event on the day, we are keen to see members new to the sport giving it a go. So if you're thinking about doing your first triathlon in 2012, or need a new challenge, why not pencil this in the diary? 

Join the youth training programme
Never done a triathlon before and aged 16-25? We have places for 20 young people to join the youth training group. We are offering a programme of 8 coached sessions beginning in January to help you to prepare for the event and have fun training with others. You will receive expert tips from our experienced and friendly coaches.

Other Windmiler triathlon novices
Whilst we are only running a special programme for youths, we're keen to get many other Windmiler novice triathletes to take part, and our regular swim, bike and run sessions offer a great opportunity to train for your first event. If you are interested understanding what might be involved, we'd love to talk to you at our information evening.
