Tri competing at night
Created On: 28 March 2012
Arguably the biggest barrier to entry for a Triathlon is finding
the time to compete with the mounting pressures of family life,
training programs and a spot of shopping taking it's toll on the
two day window for recreation we call the weekend. Fortunately the
chaps at Votwo Events & Adventure have created the perfect
solution for the weekend warriors amongst us in the form of the USN
Dorney Lake Evening Triathlon race series.
The 2012 evening tri program at Dorney comes off the back of a
very successful series of events last year with TV presenter and
former GB track athlete Ewen Thomas and Formula Ones' Jenson Button
participating in the races. It's more than likely a few more celebs
will be looking to participate this season, paying testimony to the
growing prestige of Votwos' evening Tri series at the official
Olympic rowing venue.
Olympic rowing venue? you ask. Why yes, the world-class
flat-water and canoeing center in Windsor will be the proud host of
the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Rowing and Kayak events. This
reflects the high standard of facilities and exceptional location
of Dorney Lake, veering just 28 miles West of central London the
venue is more than accessible to the Southern regions of
Blighty.
The evening triathlon is a great addition to the race season for
the experienced athlete wanting a midweek short and sharp race to
test themselves in a venue that offers natural beauty with modern
and stylish architecture. It also proves the perfect space for
novices and first timers looking to develop their tri skills for
fun in a safe and relaxed evening format. With individual entries
at just £45 the series is definitely affordable for the nocturnal
athletes on the tri circuit, this price also includes free parking
and a USN goody bag filled with nutritional products.
This year see's the introduction of the 'Vo Max League' at the
Dorney Lake Evening Triathlons, where tri clubs can compete in
teams over the 3 event race series. For more information on
entering a team, get in touch with Tom Hayward tom@votwo.co.uk.

So back to the begging question, why Tri competing at night?
Well there's simply never been a better opportunity to participate
in a multi sports evening event in some of the finest facilities at
such and affordable price. Whilst value is reflected throughout by
Votwo in the USN Dorney Lake Evening Triathlon Series, the events
will also provide a fantastic opportunity for the discerning
working professional to improve their race times in a mid-week
format ensuring the weekend is free for DYI, visiting the in-laws
or maybe even competing in another Triathlon.
