Heolddu Triathlon

The PE department at Heolddu Comprehensive School are soon going to be facilitating a triathlon. The exciting event will take place on Wednesday 10th April 2019 at Heolddu Leisure Centre.

Firstly, the competitors will begin in the swimming pool. They will then have the option to quickly dry off before undertaking the next part of the challenge. Swimming will be followed by a session in the spin bike room. Finally, they’ll undertake a challenging run on the top rugby field.

Competitors will choose between three levels of difficulty:

Level 1 – 6 widths in pool, 5 minutes on spin bike, run on top feild.

Level 2 – 3 lengths in pool, 5 minutes on spin bike, run on top feild

Level 3 – 7 lengths in pool, 5 minutes on spin bike, run on top feild.

The length of the run will also vary depending on the level of difficulty.

There will also be a tag team event. Members of any teams will undertake 5 lengths in the pool, followed by a 5 minute bike session, rounded off by a run on the rugby field.

If you wish to participate in the triathlon, you must collect and return a permission letter from Mr Evans. For any further information, please contact the PE department.
