Hi All,

Thank you for registering for our Tips and Tricks Clinic for Race #5 of the 2XU Triathlon Series! We’re down to the penultimate race of the season, and whether you’re fine-tuning your race execution or gearing up for your Worlds qualification, we’re here to help you feel race-ready.

This weekend brings mild conditions, perfect for racing! Plus, Race #5 is an official AusTriathlon Age Group Team Qualifying Race for the Sprint Distance at the 2025 Wollongong World Triathlon Championships.

This is our second time racing at Elwood this season (you might remember it from Race #1 back in November), so the course and transition will feel familiar to many. That said, whether it’s your first time racing here or you’re looking for that competitive edge, we’ve got the insights to help you perform at your best.

• Yourself and a bottle of fluids to stay hydrated.
• No equipment or physical activity is required.
• Bring lots of questions—we love interaction!

We’ll provide a detailed rundown to help make your race day as smooth as possible. Topics include:

• Night-before preparation: What to eat for dinner, when to wake up, and how to organise your gear.
• Race-day logistics: When to arrive, where to park, and tips for navigating the venue.

We’ll also cover Elwood-specific considerations, such as:

• Key tips for tackling the Sprint Distance, especially if you’re aiming for a strong qualifying performance.
• Navigating transition efficiently—it’s a straightforward setup, but every second counts!
• Course insights, including swim entry/exit, bike mount/dismount, and key turns on the run.

Finally, we’ll wrap up with a course walk-through so you can see exactly where to go and have everything fresh in your mind for race morning.
