You will no doubt already have seen the qualifying events <here> for the ITU and ETU Age Group Triathlon/Duathlon events in 2013.
However FOR THE 2013 ITU SPRINT TRI you may not realise:
1. There are 25 slots for the home nation (not the usual 18)
2. For the qualifiers: 60% of places are reserved for Home Nation Members until 4 weeks prior to the event.
3. There will probably be no parallel event to Hyde Park for Age Groupers who don’t qualify to do the course.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
