And congratulations to all who raced and conquered the course!
The Canberra City Half Ironman Triathlon is a race you will never forget; and a race so many come back to, now entering it's eighth edition in '08!
According to many reports it was sorely missed and whilst the crew at X-Tri Australia are proud to say "We're Back!", those who competed in 2007, in conditions a little tougher than expected can testify this was a great race and a personal challenge on the new revised course!
The perfect event for families, couples or singles, relay teams - you name it - it's all based in the Nation's capital, a short drive south on the freeway from Sydney, and a short flight from the rest of the country.
The last 'Half Ironman' validation race (The Ironman 70.3 Geelong will follow this event!) of the new triathlon season, there's no better reason than to go visit Canberra, especially if you are looking to pick up maximum Half Ironman series points or validate your entry to the Panthers Ironman Australia triathlon.
As the penultimate round of the national Half Ironman Series, the Canberra City Half Ironman is the perfect chance to up your earning rate of points towards an age group or open category win in the annual national series.
SO, points towards the national Half Ironman series, validation of your entry into the Panthers Ironman Australia triathtlon, a special early bird entry period, the series' finisher's towel and so much more...
And if you don't think you are ready, think again!
This is just one of two events in Australia where you entry fee also brings you months of training programs direct from one of the best coaching groups in the country. Grant Giles, former top five Ironman, Level 2 Triathlon Coach and director of Aeromax Coaching International will personnally write a program each month leading into the race just for entrants to the event that month. Training programs will begin 26 weeks out!
Enter now and these programs are just for you; put it off for a month or two - then there's less!
But what an opportunity to grow in your training as the race comes closer!
And all that training will prepare you for a great course, based on the 2006 Championship LD course. Compete in the footsteps of the worlds best!
Convinced? Heh! We'll see you all on December 14th 2008 - so book mark this page and return to catch up on our plans for a sensational 2008 eighth edition of the Canberra City Half as we go forward to the race (and remember - bring a friend in 08!)
We're back! We're Ready! The Course is Ready, Canberra is Ready!
Are you?
Cheers
The X-Tri Team
