Sportzone is organizing a 'Get into Tri' session with Jamie Price . Jamie is an experienced triathlete and coach with a decade in the sport. A two-time Bahrain National Champion, he has raced at the elite level for Bahrain and Great Britain, including qualification for the Commonwealth Games and a win at Ironman 70.3 Salalah.
Coaching since 16, Jamie is passionate about making triathlon accessible. He’s now organizing a “Tri a Tri” event to help newcomers try their first triathlon in a fun and supportive environment. This is directed towards all triathletes who would like to learn more about triathlon training and racing, gather some good tips and lessons learned from experienced triathletes; and enjoy a relaxed informal race at the end of the session to put it all together! We hope to see many budding triathletes at this session. Places are limited to 20 attendees so sign up now to ensure your slot!
