The Wales Sportive Course

Now the most comprehensive closed road course in Wales. This is an absolute must for your calendar!

 There are three different distances for The Wales Sportive. The short distance of 42 miles, the mid-distance route of 70 miles, as well as the full distance course of 112 miles, for the athletes who really want to push their limits.

Cyclists competing in each of the categories will have a staggered start, with the 112 mile athletes starting first and the 42 mile athletes leaving last. The 42 mile course will be one lap of the small circuit, whilst 70 mile cyclists will head off towards Angle before finishing the small circuit. The 112 mile course follows the same route as the 70 mile course; however, has an extra lap of the small circuit before reaching the finish line.

Top Tip - Start with a sprint tri early in the season. Swansea is a good one to get your confidence up as the swim is in SA1 Dock which is a great environment as you don’t have to battle the seas tide and currents.

It’s important to keep your threshold swimming going over during the ‘off’ season. Below you find two swim sessions which will help you going into the winter months. Try these twice a week and record your times. You can adjust the rest times and distances according to your ability. Feel free to reach out to the coaches at Heathwood swimming in Cardiff for extra help or any questions you may have regarding swim sets or drills.

For most of us the open water swimming season is coming to an end or is basically over. In October the UK water temperature in the sea, lakes & reservoirs are dropping rapidly and where you were able to swim in 17 to 20 degrees its now more like 12 or 13oc.
