I am looking at entering my kids (aged 5, 7 & 9) in the triathlon at Avondale College, Cooranbong. I am also looking at doing the beginner Adult one next month. Has anyone done this triathlon before?

I don't know if there is a website but the triathlon was mentioned in my girls school newsletter along with a phone number. I rang and got some info which is..
7am registration @ Avondale college for 8am race. Apparently there is lots of signs for direction.
Little kids race around 4-6 years:
15-20m swim, no bike ride, short run (I think it was 100m)
Around 7 yrs - 50m swim, 1.5k bike ride, 500m run.
Around 9yrs - 100m swim, 3k bike ride, 1k run.
Beginner Adult - 200m Swim, 9k Bike ride, 2k run.
Advanced Adult - 400m swim, 18k bike ride, 4k run.
You have to register on day which is through Triathlon Australia then the first race is free.
Kids - $20 year then ea race is $5.00
Adults - $35 year the ea race is $10.00
The guy I spoke to said for more info to talk to Dallas at Morisset bike shop he will also have to dates for the triathlon in January.

Hi Jen,
I've decided not to do this one, but kids are both entering. Can't wait, this time I get to watch and take lots of photos!
Bring it on!
See you there!

Great event! My 7 year old did the little one today and loved it! Congrat's to Kirra, Emma and Katie for your great effort !
We signed the whole family up as members, so lookout Lake Macquarie the Willett's are on their way!
Yeah- we're now members of a tri club!
Can't wait for January's event, those hills look quite challenging, so looking forward to the extra push!
