Upton Upon Severn Olympic Triathlon


The Triathlon Course for Upton was as follows

Swim: downstream open water swim in the River Severn. On the day it was raining throughout the start of the swim and river was flowing very fast which allowed for a personal best 1500 swim though conditions certainly helped with speed!

Bike: the new bike route for 2008 followed wide open roads out in the countryside. The standard distance was 2 laps.

Run: a flat 5km circuit; over half of the route was a combination of a quiet, rural lane and private farm tracks. The standard distance was 2 laps.
