The Tristar Sports event group has recently teamed up with the Federation of Kitts and Nevis to put together an International long distance sporting event called the Tristar 111 Nevis Triathlon last week. Competitive athletes attended the event from various areas of the globe. The event included individual competitors and relay teams.

As the name suggests, the Triathlon comprised of three major sections. These included the swim course, the biking course, and a running course. The event proceeded respectively with only a small transition area where the athletes changed gears and proceeded to the next portion of the competition.

The Swimming Section

The swimming course began in downtown Charlestown in Gallows bay. The athletes began from the beach and swam through the course marked by buoys. The first buoy was located beyond the ferry pier and was aligned with Hunkins Drive. They swam right around this buoy and headed towards the second buoy. At this point they headed back towards the finish line marked by the dinghy dock.

Once the athletes completed this portion of the event, they gathered the biking gear and transition out of their swimming gear in the designated area by the main car park. After this they ran over the bike course.
