Super League Triathlon Sign Up Information

WELCOME TO SUPER LEAGUE

Hi Jon,

Hi Jon,

Powering you through the week

If you didn’t catch Episode 1 of The Power Up Show, then you really missed out - we had epic guests, lots of insider info into the world of winter triathlons, and how to go about creating crazy Strava ‘art’. Henri Schoeman also sent in a video talking about his debut Ironman 70.3 podium finish! Impressive stuff indeed. But fear not, you can still watch the whole episode, because we’re nice to you like that.

Up close and personal with Georgia Taylor-Brown

WIN an epic SLT Jersey race package

It’s time for yet another giveaway, and this one is really worth two minutes of your time. 

We’re giving away two age group tickets to race RBC Super League Triathlon Jersey, plus three nights' stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel, where the pro triathletes will be staying, as well as return flights (UK and France only). Basically, your whole race package sorted and an incredible SLT experience. It could not get much better than this!

Competition deadline is 14th February and Terms & Conditions apply (see website for details).

We may be a dab hand at organising pretty epic races around the globe but we’ve decided to up the ante and get our beautiful (ahem) faces in front of the camera to bring you LIVE videos every other week!

Yep, the SLT Power Up Show will be coming to your social media screens from next week, and we’ll be covering all things triathlon - including insider secrets from SLT pros, exciting guest interviews and some helpful stuff to supercharge your season (and kill some time at work).

With a 25 minute live show every other Tuesday, you can not only take part in the fun, but you can make fun of us as we most likely cock up on camera. We’ll be streaming live on YouTube and Facebook so WATCH THIS SPACE.

If you missed it check out our debut show LIVE from London where we introduced our presenters Dave Rogers and Raya Hubbell.

We all know Macca is never in one place for too long, always travelling around the world trying to win world records for the most ridiculously amazing race location known to mankind, so a regular feature of the show will be ‘Where the F is Macca!?’. Macca will be gracing us with his wonderfully tanned face from various corners of the globe, sharing his adventures, his famed race predictions, and probably some random stuff like the weird things that he’s just eaten.

Jason Lamoreaux will join us from Alaska to talk us through Winter Triathlon (brrrr!) and the recent Tri-Flake event, and the so-called 'pedalling Picasso' - Anthony Hoyte - will join us in the studio to tell us how he creates such impressive cycle route 'art' on Strava.

So get inspired, tune in, and watch the fun unfold...

Follow us (in a non-stalkerish way)

Hi Jon,

There''s so much more that goes into an athlete''s life than just training and racing. From nutrition to rest to leisure time, the stars of our sport have got it all worked out to maximise their results.

And it''s not all serious stuff either. In this week''s newsletter we get some real insight into Georgia Taylor-Brown, Jessica Learmonth and Jonny Brownlee, but all with their sense of humour front and centre.

Top Tips From the Experts

Wild Weather And Fierce Rivalries

SLTReloaded this week lands in the 2019/20 Championship Series for RBC Super League Triathlon Jersey.

A new race weekend format for a new season got an even more dramatic twist as some crazy winds disrupted proceedings and intensified new and old rivalries - as well as delivering some interesting tactics around barefoot running. It''s the penultimate weekend of SLTReloaded - Super League''s free race replays - so don''t miss out.

Hi Jon,

We love to get to know our Super League athletes better.

From the technical details of the equipment they use to achieve their stellar performances through to how they live their lives.

We''ve got two top performers featured this week, with Richard Murray talking us through his kit and Anne Haug talking us through...well, everything Anne Haug.

Richard Murray''s BMC Bike

South African star Richard Murray is known as one of the most complete cyclists in SLT, with awesome power and bike handling skills. Want to know his set-up and how he maximises his abilities? Then watch our video.

Hi Jon,

Macca''s Words Of Wisdom

Who is the best ever? How do you compare eras? Or distances?  It''s a popular discussion in most sports, and has started to be widely debated in triathlon.

There''s more to it than meets the eye and our expert (and someone whose name is often mentioned in these debates) Chris McCormack gives us his views, as well as lifting the lid of his life in lockdown in his first exclusive column. Strap in for a brilliant read for any triathlon fan.

Lockdown Lowdown

Finales, Punctures and the Greatest Finish Ever

SLTReloaded this week heads to Singapore 2018 for a dramatic season finale. And when we say dramatic, we really mean it.

There was a puncture that threw the result of the whole series into doubt. A former star rose again and some new ones were born. And there was THAT finish between Cassandre Beaugrand and Katie Zaferes. Watch and enjoy.

Hi Jon,

New Target For RBC SLT Community Challenge

The RBC SLT Community Challenge has been such a success that we have had to set a new target! After the original goal of 20,000km in 20 days to trigger RBC''s ?20,000 donation to Mind Jersey was ticked off in just a week we have upped the ante - 100,000km by September 20 for a donation totalling ?40,000 from RBC.

By taking part you are not only helping Mind Jersey but are also in with a chance to win some great prizes too.

Hi Jon,

Macca''s Take On The 2020 Triathlon Season

Triathlon briefly roared back into action with the SLT Arena Games, the Hamburg World Championship race and a World Cup event in the Czech Republic. It was short and intense, but what did we learn? The man who knows best, Chris McCormack, thinks we have seen some new stars come of age, and that it could have an impact on the Olympics.

Last Push For RBC SLT Community Challenge

The RBC SLT Community Challenge is into its final few days and we are closing in on the 100,000km target to trigger RBC''s ?40,000 donation to Mind Jersey. It''s still not too late to get involved, help us secure the target and to bag a prize.

Hi Jon,

Final Start List

Triathlon is back - and the big hitters are coming out to play in Rotterdam.

In the men''s field there are world champions, Olympic medallists, ITU stars and those tipped for future glory.

The women''s features the reigning Ironman world champion, two of the current top three in the world rankings and a host of those used to standing on podiums across the world.

How To Watch

We saved it until last, but it''s probably the most important thing to know.

The global broadcast of the SLT Arena Games promises to be spectacular with athletes going hard, live data, in your face cameras, Zwift racing and some top drawer commentary and on-field reporting.

We are delivering the racing FREE across the world, so head over to our website to see what channels you can watch on, or click the link below to head directly to our website where we will be streaming the entire two hours.

Hi Jon,

What did you do on your 18th birthday? Party? Go out for a drink or two to celebrate? Spend 18 hours riding on your turbo trainer?

We guess that not many of you picked the latter option, but that's exactly what two of our young Super League stars will be doing next week - all in the name of charity. It''s remarkable and you can read all about it and how to join in and donate in this week''s newsletter.

For most of us sitting on the turbo inspires dreams of being free again and the future. In triathlon, we wonder just who might be the next big thing? Which star might benefit most from the one year delay to the Olympics? Who could be the next Jan Frodeno? We speculate on that with help from an expert.

Stay safe.

18for18 - The Charity Challenge

Daniel Dixon and Jack Stanton-Stock are not your typical 17-year-olds. Not only have they both already starred in Super League''s youth ranks, but the duo are planning something very special for their 18th birthdays, which coincidentally both fall next Thursday.

18 hours on the turbo to raise money for charity is remarkable. It''s going to be brutal, fun and crazy, in pretty much equal measure. There are some star names turning up to support, and plenty planned for the day besides just pedalling - and they are calling for the triathlon community to join in.

The Next Jan Frodeno?

Short Chute Your Way To Victory

The Short Chute is one of Super League''s great innovations. It started out as just a slightly random shortcut which nobody quite knew how to use effectively, and quickly evolved into a key tactical feature of racing.

SLTReloaded, Super League''s commitment to keep triathlon fans entertained by showing racing for FREE every weekend during lockdown, visits Mallorca on Saturday and Sunday for when the Short Chute really came of age. It''s going to be a fun watch.

Vince and Taylor Couple's Challenge

From their biggest obsessions to naming their future children, it seems that lockdown has brought this couple closer together. Taylor even knows Vince's own inspirations more than himself! But, when it comes to deciding who looks sexiest wearing a tri-suit or who has better taste in music, there are obviously some disagreements.

How Do You Compare To SLT''s Stars?

Competing with the best in the world is a very distant dream to most of us...but that doesn''t mean we aren''t interested to see how our numbers stack up.

Macca: How Super League Is Keeping Triathlon Cool

We may well be preaching to the converted, but at Super League we think triathlon is pretty great. We see part of our mission as changing the sport to get as many people as possible to watch and feel the same.

Delivering another brilliant innovation was part of the reason for the SLT Arena Games. Triathlon legend and Super League co-founder Chris McCormack explains his thinking behind it, and also speculates how it will play out athletically and why we might see some new stars emerge.

Hi Jon,

How To Turbo Like A Pro

We all want to take inspiration from the best in the business and to use our precious training time effectively. That''s why we have enlisted the help of Australian star Emma Jeffcoat to bring you her favourite turbo session. It''s an hour, it''s hard work, but it''s worth it.

You have to be able to get to the venue and arrange your own transport so please think about before entering, but if you are confident you can get there and would love the chance to watch the stars in action then enter away.
