Parris Island Tri practice - by Go Tri Sports

PARRIS ISLAND TRIATHLON - Practice Run Through

Open and Free to the entire triathlon community

We are having a practice run through of the Parris Island Triathlon on Sunday March 1 at 12noon. The purpose of this practice is to familiarize ourselves with the unique format of this race - especially the pool swim that snakes across the lanes - and to prep ourselves for the first triathlon of the season.

This is open and free to everyone - even if you are not racing the Parris Island Tri - still come out for a good workout.

Come prepared like you would on race day - all the gear you need, transition needs, goggles, bike and running shoes.

The format will be as follows:
- Pool swim of 250m - 500m - with a time trial start and following the same course as the race (i.e., multiple swimmers in each lane)
- Transition 1 - Bike racks outside the pool area
- Bike - 2 mi around the Island Rec Center
- Run - 1 mi around the Island Rec Center
(Transition to Bike - repeat bike & Run x 3)

This format allows for:
- The practice of transitions from bike to run (T2) multiple times
- The Brick format trains the body to transition from bike to run
