For athletes to give themsevles the best possible chance of getting in to the top 10 places – Jenson Button has released a guide to the swimming element of the day
Jenson’s swimming tip is the latest in a line of training videos that the 2009 Formula One World Champion has put together for his 2014 event. Athletes can see all previous videos at www.jensonbutton.com and keep a look out for more to come in the coming weeks.
Held in the private estate grounds of the fabulous Luton Hoo Hotel in Bedfordshire, and now in it’s third year, the Jenson Button Trust Triathlon is a unique event. It combines competition with a relaxed festival atmosphere; it has a true family feel with a buzzing event village, post race party with prizes presented by Jenson, live music and a barbecue.
The 2014 event will give competitors the chance to race twice, with the preliminary heat consisting of a 300m lake swim, 9K bike ride and 2.5K run. The top performers will then go on to the final (750m swim, 15K bike ride, 5K run) with the runners up entering the ‘wooden spoon’ race.
