| A
swim of 1,500 metres alone would be enough to finish most of us off. Not these
athletes!
These guys will
complete that swim as well as cycling 40 kilometres and running
10km - all without a break. How's that for stamina?
This is the
Triathalon course:
Women commence
at 08:00 and men at 11:00.
Swimming:
two laps of Salford Quays Docks near The Lowry
Cycling Course:
Enters the city via Deansgate before turning right onto Peter Street,
left onto Southmill Street, right onto Princess Street, right onto
Albert Square (in front of Town Hall), then onto Mount Street, right
onto Peter Street, left onto Deansgate and out of the city.
This loop is
completed four times.
Running Course:
from Salford Quays to manchester United football ground at Old
Trafford, back towards the docks again along a circular route. The
course must be complete three times.
Finishing
line: at the Quays just behind The Lowry.
