Welcome to the Virgin Active London TriathlonI am delighted to welcome you all to the 2012 Virgin Active London Triathlon; the largest and most established Triathlon in the world. Virgin Active Health Clubs are our title sponsor for the second year running and I thank them for their unwavering support for this amazing event.
As I write this the Olympics have yet to commence. However, I hope that when it comes to you reading this, we are all celebrating British success in the Olympic Triathlon events.
In less than one month you will be part of the world’s largest triathlon which attracts passion and determination from over 13,000 triathletes across two days. Any triathlete, whether elite or otherwise will tell you that preparation is the key to a successful race. It is with that in mind that I encourage you to read the enclosed information carefully so you are fully prepared for your challenge.
Please read and re-read this booklet until you feel comfortable with the procedures and what you have to do. We get inundated with phone calls in the weeks before the event, so we ask you to check any questions you may have aren’t answered in this Race Information or on our website before calling.
Please do not worry if this is your first triathlon; there are over 13,000 others out there all feeling the same and just as nervous, but if you read all the information in this booklet you will be able to make the most of the event. Please read our newsletters and keep logging on to www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk for all the latest information or any changes that may affect you.
Our thanks, as always, go to all the authorities involved in organising this event –Transport for London, the Metropolitan Police, the London Boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and the City of Westminster. Thanks must also go to our sponsors, partners and suppliers without whom we could not put on our events.
My final thanks go to the hundreds of volunteers who give up their time to make the event the success it will undoubtedly be. They arrive before sunrise and provide help, support, guidance and most importantly a smile along the route. We couldn’t put the event on without them, so I encourage you to take a moment to thank them as you pass them on the day, as I know they will be giving you an extra cheer as you fly past.
We have numerous spectator viewing points, so do bring along as many friends, family members and loved ones as you can to cheer you along as you take on your own personal challenge.
I wish each of you the best of luck for your race day and hope you enjoy the Virgin Active London Triathlon as much as I and the rest of my team enjoy organising it for you.
Best wishes and see you there.

Welcome to the Virgin Active London TriathlonI am delighted to welcome you all to the 2012 Virgin Active London Triathlon; the largest and most established Triathlon in the world. Virgin Active Health Clubs are our title sponsor for the second year running and I thank them for their unwavering support for this amazing event.
As I write this the Olympics have yet to commence. However, I hope that when it comes to you reading this, we are all celebrating British success in the Olympic Triathlon events.
In less than one month you will be part of the world’s largest triathlon which attracts passion and determination from over 13,000 triathletes across two days. Any triathlete, whether elite or otherwise will tell you that preparation is the key to a successful race. It is with that in mind that I encourage you to read the enclosed information carefully so you are fully prepared for your challenge.
Please read and re-read this booklet until you feel comfortable with the procedures and what you have to do. We get inundated with phone calls in the weeks before the event, so we ask you to check any questions you may have aren’t answered in this Race Information or on our website before calling.
Please do not worry if this is your first triathlon; there are over 13,000 others out there all feeling the same and just as nervous, but if you read all the information in this booklet you will be able to make the most of the event. Please read our newsletters and keep logging on to www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk for all the latest information or any changes that may affect you.
Our thanks, as always, go to all the authorities involved in organising this event –Transport for London, the Metropolitan Police, the London Boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and the City of Westminster. Thanks must also go to our sponsors, partners and suppliers without whom we could not put on our events.
My final thanks go to the hundreds of volunteers who give up their time to make the event the success it will undoubtedly be. They arrive before sunrise and provide help, support, guidance and most importantly a smile along the route. We couldn’t put the event on without them, so I encourage you to take a moment to thank them as you pass them on the day, as I know they will be giving you an extra cheer as you fly past.
We have numerous spectator viewing points, so do bring along as many friends, family members and loved ones as you can to cheer you along as you take on your own personal challenge.
I wish each of you the best of luck for your race day and hope you enjoy the Virgin Active London Triathlon as much as I and the rest of my team enjoy organising it for you.
Best wishes and see you there.

Virgin Active Health Clubs are our title sponsor for the second year running and I thank them for their unwavering support for this amazing event.
As I write this the Olympics have yet to commence. However, I hope that when it comes to you reading this, we are all celebrating British success in the Olympic Triathlon events.
In less than one month you will be part of the world’s largest triathlon which attracts passion and determination from over 13,000 triathletes across two days. Any triathlete, whether elite or otherwise will tell you that preparation is the key to a successful race. It is with that in mind that I encourage you to read the enclosed information carefully so you are fully prepared for your challenge.
Please read and re-read this booklet until you feel comfortable with the procedures and what you have to do. We get inundated with phone calls in the weeks before the event, so we ask you to check any questions you may have aren’t answered in this Race Information or on our website before calling.
Please do not worry if this is your first triathlon; there are over 13,000 others out there all feeling the same and just as nervous, but if you read all the information in this booklet you will be able to make the most of the event. Please read our newsletters and keep logging on to www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk for all the latest information or any changes that may affect you.
Our thanks, as always, go to all the authorities involved in organising this event –Transport for London, the Metropolitan Police, the London Boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and the City of Westminster. Thanks must also go to our sponsors, partners and suppliers without whom we could not put on our events.
My final thanks go to the hundreds of volunteers who give up their time to make the event the success it will undoubtedly be. They arrive before sunrise and provide help, support, guidance and most importantly a smile along the route. We couldn’t put the event on without them, so I encourage you to take a moment to thank them as you pass them on the day, as I know they will be giving you an extra cheer as you fly past.
We have numerous spectator viewing points, so do bring along as many friends, family members and loved ones as you can to cheer you along as you take on your own personal challenge.
I wish each of you the best of luck for your race day and hope you enjoy the Virgin Active London Triathlon as much as I and the rest of my team enjoy organising it for you.
Best wishes and see you there.

Youth Can Do It When They B&Q It
The.partnership.started.in.2011.after.staff.at.the.home.improvement.chain.were.asked.
what.kind.of.cause.they.wanted.to.get.behind..The.resounding.answer.was.a.charity.that.focused.on.young.people.in.the.UK.so.naturally.the.name.UK.Youth.came.up..The.fact.that.the.head.offices.of.both.organisations.are.just.a.few.miles.from.each.other.in.Hampshire.sealed.the.partnership..UK.Youth.was.founded.in.1911.to.support.young.women.who.were.being.denied.any.kind.of.education..It.has.since.evolved.to.become.a.national.organisation.that.enables.all.10-24.year-olds.to.gain.access.to.learning.opportunities.beyond.mainstream.school..Through.a.network.of.youth.associations.all.over.the.country.it.reaches.750,000.young.people.each.year,.helping.them.to.grow.and.develop.and.make.a.happy.transition.into.adulthood..
Last year UK Youth had a committed but select group of competitors taking part in the London Triathlon - there were just three of them! This year the charity will have a rather more significant presence.
Over 200 people will be raising money to fund their work, making it one of the best represented charities at the event.
This incredible turnaround is due to the support and commitment of staff at B&Q, who are in the second year of a three-year partnership with UK Youth.

The ZV7 Energy Gels contain 51g of carbohydrate
(double most competing gels). Taking just two gels per
hour gives the 100g of carbohydrate needed to maximise performance.
The Caffeine Energy Gel takes the highly effective Energy Gel formula
and supercharges it with a synergistic blend of Caffeine and Tyrosine.
The 160mg of caffeine presses the accelerator pedal, reducing effort
during training and racing, while tyrosine puts mental fuel in the tank.
Each gel delivers the added kick needed to lift focus, reaction and
performance to a different level!

The SFT Pool of Fame
Just who are SFT helping?
Swim Coaches everywhere. SFT have produced the first British Swimming Continuing Professional Development (CPD) module covering Openwater Swimming. This module has been written by head coach DAN BULLOCK and will help Coaches prepare swimmers for Openwater racing and is a great endorsement and recognition of 10years of excellence in coaching.
Triathletes of all abilities
4 Kona Qualifiers for 2012 already, two 70.3 Worlds Qualifiers and numerous World and Europe AG medals through faster swimming. But It is not all about the fast guys though. “SFT helped me to go from being someone who dreamed of doing a triathlon but had a phobia of open water swimming, to coming out of the water at the Blenheim triathlon having swum a personal best. I felt ready, prepared and confident... in fact I couldn’t wait to get in the water” - VICTORIA ROBERTSON
Triathlon Coaches
We are swim Specialists on the STEVE TREW, JOE BEER and most recently Tridynamic Tri Camps. We are also pleased to have been appointed Openwater Coaches at the Triathlon centre of Excellence Club La Santa organising their first OW swim camps.
Speedo
Back in 2010 we were appointed Advisory Coaches, conducting lessons and workshops on their behalf. Providing feedback, testing and research into products and wetsuits.

The Swim
Wetsuit
A wetsuit is compulsory and it is you responsibility to ensure that you have one on race day.
Swim StartHaving collected and attached your timing chip and racked your bike you should arrive at Swim Assembly a minimum of 20 minutes before your wave start time. (It will take approximately 5 minutes to walk from Transition to the Swim Assembly).
At Swim Assembly you will be given a swim cap which identifies your wave start and given some important tips and advice.
You may be in the water for up to 5 minutes before your start. Use this time to assess the conditions, practise your swim technique and prepare mentally for the race.
The route will be marked by buoys and canoe lifeguards will be on hand to guide the wave. You should also identify tall landmarks that can keep you on course, so as to avoid weaving and swimming further than you need to!
Swim ExitThe swim exit pontoon dips into the water so you can swim onto it before standing up. Lifeguards will be on hand to help you out. Once you have exited the water you will need to remove your wetsuit, place it in a bag provided, and cover a short distance on foot to Transition.
There is a water station and a Gatorade Hydration Station on the way to Transition.
Be careful going up the steps to Transition as they can get wet.
The Royal Victoria DockThe water is tested against EU bathing standards; however we would still advise you to be in good health and to try and avoid swallowing the water, as swimmers may be more susceptible to infection through immune suppression.
Swim SafetyThe water safety team, provided by Swim Safety Ltd, will consist of fully qualified lifeguards in kayaks and rescue boats as well as bank based lifeguards on pontoons.
All lifeguards are members of either the BCU Lifeguards or Surf Lifesaving GB.
If this is your first triathlon, or swimming is not your strongest discipline, we recommend that you position yourself towards the back or the side of the wave. It may add a few seconds to your time, but it will enable you to get into your rhythm and enjoy the swim more.
Swim StrokesMost people use front crawl or breast stroke. Back stroke is not permitted because it can be confused with someone indicating they are in difficulty.
*A wetsuit is compulsory*
*Do not use Petroleum based lubricants (e.g. vaseline) as these damage the suit*
*If you do get into difficulty, lie on your back and raise your arm; a ca-noe lifeguard will come to you and if necessary arrange a safety boat to take you to the water’s edge.*
*Goggles are compulsory*

Welcome to the Virgin Active London TriathlonI am delighted to welcome you all to the 2012 Virgin Active London Triathlon; the largest and most established Triathlon in the world. Virgin Active Health Clubs are our title sponsor for the second year running and I thank them for their unwavering support for this amazing event.
As I write this the Olympics have yet to commence. However, I hope that when it comes to you reading this, we are all celebrating British success in the Olympic Triathlon events.
In less than one month you will be part of the world’s largest triathlon which attracts passion and determination from over 13,000 triathletes across two days. Any triathlete, whether elite or otherwise will tell you that preparation is the key to a successful race. It is with that in mind that I encourage you to read the enclosed information carefully so you are fully prepared for your challenge.
Please read and re-read this booklet until you feel comfortable with the procedures and what you have to do. We get inundated with phone calls in the weeks before the event, so we ask you to check any questions you may have aren’t answered in this Race Information or on our website before calling.
Please do not worry if this is your first triathlon; there are over 13,000 others out there all feeling the same and just as nervous, but if you read all the information in this booklet you will be able to make the most of the event. Please read our newsletters and keep logging on to www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk for all the latest information or any changes that may affect you.
Our thanks, as always, go to all the authorities involved in organising this event –Transport for London, the Metropolitan Police, the London Boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and the City of Westminster. Thanks must also go to our sponsors, partners and suppliers without whom we could not put on our events.
My final thanks go to the hundreds of volunteers who give up their time to make the event the success it will undoubtedly be. They arrive before sunrise and provide help, support, guidance and most importantly a smile along the route. We couldn’t put the event on without them, so I encourage you to take a moment to thank them as you pass them on the day, as I know they will be giving you an extra cheer as you fly past.
We have numerous spectator viewing points, so do bring along as many friends, family members and loved ones as you can to cheer you along as you take on your own personal challenge.
I wish each of you the best of luck for your race day and hope you enjoy the Virgin Active London Triathlon as much as I and the rest of my team enjoy organising it for you.
Best wishes and see you there.

The SFT Pool of Fame
Just who are SFT helping?
Swim Coaches everywhere. SFT have produced the first British Swimming Continuing Professional Development (CPD) module covering Openwater Swimming. This module has been written by head coach DAN BULLOCK and will help Coaches prepare swimmers for Openwater racing and is a great endorsement and recognition of 10years of excellence in coaching.
Triathletes of all abilities
4 Kona Qualifiers for 2012 already, two 70.3 Worlds Qualifiers and numerous World and Europe AG medals through faster swimming. But It is not all about the fast guys though. “SFT helped me to go from being someone who dreamed of doing a triathlon but had a phobia of open water swimming, to coming out of the water at the Blenheim triathlon having swum a personal best. I felt ready, prepared and confident... in fact I couldn’t wait to get in the water” - VICTORIA ROBERTSON
Triathlon Coaches
We are swim Specialists on the STEVE TREW, JOE BEER and most recently Tridynamic Tri Camps. We are also pleased to have been appointed Openwater Coaches at the Triathlon centre of Excellence Club La Santa organising their first OW swim camps.
Speedo
Back in 2010 we were appointed Advisory Coaches, conducting lessons and workshops on their behalf. Providing feedback, testing and research into products and wetsuits.

Race Information ‘Bike & Run’
VIRGIN ACTIVE LONDON TRIATHLON 2012 www.londontriathlonexpo.co.uk
The BikeIt is your responsibility to bring a bike that is road worthy and complies with the BTF rules (visit www.britishtriathlon.org for more information).
Bike Helmet
Approved cycling safety helmets of ANSI Z90.4, SNELL B90, EN 1078 or an equivalent national standard must be worn by competitors. (NOTE: a CE mark is NOT an approval mark).
The course• Make sure you know the route! It is your
responsibility to navigate the course successfully and safely
• The bike course can get very slippery when wet• Always cycle on the left hand side and beware
of competitors overtaking you on the right• Please pay attention to the marshals
instructions at all times• Please note marshals CANNOT count laps
for you.
Drafting
No drafting is allowed, i.e. taking shelter behind or beside another competitor during the cycling leg of the race.
The RunThe Skechers Run Course• Run on the left at all times• No headphones are allowed• Be aware of other
competitors trying to pass you and take care when passing other competitors
• It is your responsibility to complete the required course successfully and count your own laps
• The race finish is located within Expo inside the ExCeL centre.
Drinks on the courseThere will be water stations after the swim, on the Skechers run course and at the finish.Additionally, Gatorade Hydration Stations ‘The world’s number one
sports drink’ (www.gatorade.co.uk) will be available after the swim, on the run course and at the finish. Please get used to re-hydrating as part of your training. Remember it is vital to drink regularly during and after exercise.
Nutrition on the Course Maxifuel, our official sports
nutrition sponsor, will have gel fuel stations around the
course, look out for them as you make your way around.
Removal of Equipment
You will be able to remove your bike from Transition immediately after racing and you must remove your bike and equipment from Transition within 1.5 hours of finishing and prior to the venue closing times. The organisers reserve the right to remove any equipment left in transition beyond the above times. The Support Team will check the bike number against the wristband number before it is released.
*There will be no drink stations on the cycle section - you should prepare a drink that is suitable for you and have it on your bike before the race starts*
*A bike helmet is compulsory.*
*NB: any helmet bought in recent years will comply but check for damage which would stop it protecting you properly.*
*One of our biggest issues post-event is caused by people taking the wrong wetsuit from Transition, please take a few seconds to check that you have your
own wetsuit, most are black and look very similar.*

Welcome to the Virgin Active London TriathlonI am delighted to welcome you all to the 2012 Virgin Active London Triathlon; the largest and most established Triathlon in the world. Virgin Active Health Clubs are our title sponsor for the second year running and I thank them for their unwavering support for this amazing event.
As I write this the Olympics have yet to commence. However, I hope that when it comes to you reading this, we are all celebrating British success in the Olympic Triathlon events.
In less than one month you will be part of the world’s largest triathlon which attracts passion and determination from over 13,000 triathletes across two days. Any triathlete, whether elite or otherwise will tell you that preparation is the key to a successful race. It is with that in mind that I encourage you to read the enclosed information carefully so you are fully prepared for your challenge.
Please read and re-read this booklet until you feel comfortable with the procedures and what you have to do. We get inundated with phone calls in the weeks before the event, so we ask you to check any questions you may have aren’t answered in this Race Information or on our website before calling.
Please do not worry if this is your first triathlon; there are over 13,000 others out there all feeling the same and just as nervous, but if you read all the information in this booklet you will be able to make the most of the event. Please read our newsletters and keep logging on to www.thelondontriathlon.co.uk for all the latest information or any changes that may affect you.
Our thanks, as always, go to all the authorities involved in organising this event –Transport for London, the Metropolitan Police, the London Boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and the City of Westminster. Thanks must also go to our sponsors, partners and suppliers without whom we could not put on our events.
My final thanks go to the hundreds of volunteers who give up their time to make the event the success it will undoubtedly be. They arrive before sunrise and provide help, support, guidance and most importantly a smile along the route. We couldn’t put the event on without them, so I encourage you to take a moment to thank them as you pass them on the day, as I know they will be giving you an extra cheer as you fly past.
We have numerous spectator viewing points, so do bring along as many friends, family members and loved ones as you can to cheer you along as you take on your own personal challenge.
I wish each of you the best of luck for your race day and hope you enjoy the Virgin Active London Triathlon as much as I and the rest of my team enjoy organising it for you.
Best wishes and see you there.
James Robinson Managing Director, Challenger World
