Woodhall Spa Sprint Triathlon

Timex Sprint Triathlon Series - Race 3
15 June 2008
400m Pool Swim / 24km Bike / 5km Run



The third event in the Timex Sprint Triathlon is the Woodhall Spa Sprint Triathlon. Over the past two years this event has grown from under 200 competitors, to nearly 400 competitors in 2007. In 2008 we are expecting 500 budding triathletes.

When people think of Lincolnshire, what is the first thing to pop into their heads? We would say striking open countryside, vehicle free country lanes and wide-open skies full of sunshine. (We do live in Lincolnshire). When describing this event, then all of the former is true.

Based from Jubilee Park, a small purpose built camping and caravanning complex, you will find a perfect mixture of relaxation and recreation. Woodhall Spa offers all that you need to unwind for a weekend.

The recreation, or should we say triathlon, should not cause you much hassle either, especially if you choose to stay at Jubilee Park - only metres away from the swim, transition and finish areas. The swim takes place in a massive 33 metre, heated outdoor pool, before then progressing to the bike section. It is safe to say that the bike course is as expected, along beautiful traffic free country lanes and very flat. The run course is straightforward and equally flat.

This event is simply just great and ticks all the boxes. For those that have never completed a triathlon before, this event is ideal. For those that race every weekend, then come along and test yourself here, see if you can make it under the magic hour. No one has yet!!! Make it a weekend away - there is something for everyone to do - kids, parents, grandparents and even the dog.
