The Course

Swim Course: a combination of 1000m & 750m anticlockwise laps of the lake, keeping the swim buoys on your left. The lake is gravel filtered and approximately 6 metres deep, weed is usually not too much of a problem but during long bouts of hot weather this can appear in pockets. Typically, the temperature at this event is around 15-17°C.

Venue Information

Its size and shape allow for some great spectating at all our events here and provides a base for triathletes wishing to take part in a medium sized event on a flat profile. It’s a compact event site so you can see most of the action without having to walk too far.

Tri 4 Endurance

Welcome to Tri 4 Endurance Nutrition – your home of Nutrition to help you crush your training, recovery well and perform at your best!

Nutrition is one of the most vital parts of being able to train, recover and race well – and many athletes struggle to know how to fuel properly, what foods to eat and how to support all of the additional demands that are placed on their body when training hard and optimising performance. And this is where Tri 4 Nutrition comes in!

My name is MJ and I am the founder & owner of Tri 4 Nutrition. I am a registered Nutritionist with many years personal and professional experience working with athletes of all abilities to understand and conquer nutrition to maximise performance and minimise the risk of injury, illness and burnout.

 I can support you at any stage of your Endurance journey – whether that be a nutrition tune up or more in depth meal support and nailing those training and race day strategies. I offer services tailored to each athlete as I know that there is no one size fits all. It is important to help athletes find the right balance and ensure that the nutrition component of Endurance sports becomes your secret weapon, without any unnecessary restrictions or complications.
