If you want to try and become a bit more active, regardless of your disability or medical condition, triathlon can be the sport for you.
British Triathlon are running several Novice Training Days post the Paralympics specifically for people with a disability across the country. These will take place in accessible venues with friends and family welcome to join in.
Skills you will learn:
- Swim Technique
- Bike Skills
- Run Drills
- Transition Practice
If you are not sure about swimming that is fine, you can do a duathlon (running and cycling) and if you don’t want to cycle you could either use a tandem, tricycle or other adapted bike or do an aquathlon (running and swimming). You can use a wheelchair for the running section.
The North East & Yorkshire training day will take place on Sunday 23rd October at the Education Village in Darlington.
We will have specialist coaches leading the day with Ian Thompson (husband of Tanni Grey Thompson) and Mark Airey from Phoenix House, Help for Heroes along with ex GB Para Triathlete Charlotte Ellis.
