Mazda London Triathlon 2008

Mazda London Triathlon 2008

Feeling ready for a new challenge? How about London's most exciting multi-event race - the famous Triathlon. Three times the challenge, three times the fun.

1, 2, 3. As easy as ABC

If you're a) a very indecisive person or b) game for anything and, c) determined to help Barnardo's believe in children, a triathlon is right up your street. With swimming, cycling and running - this event gives you a training programme to get you out of the washing-up every night for months.

The London Triathlon is one of the most exciting events in the sporting calendar. Thousands of extremely game athletes race around the capital in very tight wetsuits, very tight cycling shorts and very tight (well, properly secured) trainers.

There are several different distance options to choose from, so you don't have to have Ironman status to get the finish line in your sights. The third finish line that is.

Useful tip: Fartlek: A Swedish term meaning 'speed play', a type of training developed to heighten an athlete's performance.
