The event that will deliver a truly world class atmosphere. The swim course is a very sheltered bay, with a 2 lap anti clockwise swim. The bike course starts with a small incline, then a very fast rolling section taking you to the big smoke, St Davids, the UK's smallest city. The course then turns back towards the crowds in Fishguard at the half way mark, providing you will that inspiration to smash the second lap. The run course is tough but you know one of our famous sayings "nothing great is easy"! The reward at the finish line will make every second worth it.

It’s important to keep your threshold swimming going over during the ‘off’ season. Below you find two swim sessions which will help you going into the winter months. Try these twice a week and record your times. You can adjust the rest times and distances according to your ability. Feel free to reach out to the coaches at Heathwood swimming in Cardiff for extra help or any questions you may have regarding swim sets or drills.
