Throughout the summer months there are a number of standard and middle distance events in the region. These races are very well run, of an excellent standard and with some fantastic scenery, especially on the cycle routes which can also be quite technical and hilly!
The calendar of races is as follows:
Bourg en Bresse Triathlon - May 2008
Dossard (Annecy) Half Ironman - 01 June 2008
Rumilly Triathlon - June 2008
Annecy Triathlon - July 2008
Passy Triathlon - August 2008
Aix les Bains Triathlon - September 2007
The idea behind the Race Weeks is that guests arrive on the Saturday (the day before the race), and spend the evening preparing the bikes and other gear before having a pre-race pasta meal.
The French races tend to start at around mid-day so there is no early start the next day to get to the venue (unless doing the Half Ironman)..
So, on the Sunday we take on the race and then relax in the evening and celebrate the various accomplishments!
The rest of the week is then spent training in each discipline but with an emphasis on the bike climbs and in a very relaxed manner.
