  We will also be hosting a parent focused session with advice and guidance on how to best support and help your kids during a triathlon.  What to do, what to bring, how to get the best out of being a spectator and how to help your little one enjoy the day.  We know that nothing beats enthusiasm and cheering for our little ones and hope we can guide your energy in the best way.
