Unfortunately, due to the poor weather conditions, the Cayman Islands Triathlon Association (CITA) was forced to cancel its first training series last Sunday.

However, CITA is pleased to announce the new dates of the Triathlon Training Series, the first being this Sunday:

  • September 6th 2015
  • September 20th 2015
  • October 11th 2015

In preparation for the Cayman Islands Triathlon, these build-up events not only help seasoned triathletes train and practice for race day, but also encourage first-time athletes to get involved.

The series is composed of three build-up triathlons to provide triathletes with an opportunity to complete before race day and meet other triathletes:

September 6th 2015 will be approximately 30% of race day distance:

Olympic: 500m Swim, 8 Mile Cycle, 2 Mile Run
Sprint: 250m Swim, 4 Mile Cycle, 1 Mile Run

September 20th 2015 will be approximately 50% of race day distance:

Olympic: 750m Swim, 12 Mile Cycle, 3 Mile Run
Sprint: 375m Swim, 6 Mile Cycle, 1.5 Mile Run

October 11th 2015 will be approximately 75% of race day distance:

Olympic: 1100m Swim, 18 Mile Cycle, 4.5 Mile Run
Sprint: 550m Swim, 9 Mile Cycle, 2.2 Mile Run

Each training series will start at 6:45am with triathletes expected to have setup their equipment in transition by 6:30am and be down at the beach by 6:40am for a safety and course briefing.

CITA will provide water for bottle refills, but there will not be any other hydration or food provided. Please be responsible for yourself in regards to gear, fuel, and hydration. Bike racks will be provided. There will be no official time keeping, first aid, directions/traffic control, or bike technicians.

Registration is handled separately for each race, so series participants can participate in as few or as many events as they would like. More information about the training series can be found at http://www.triathlon.ky/events/ci-triathlon-training-series.
