Shape Up Now for the MRA Bali International Triathlon

(3/14/2009)

With just four months remaining before the 3rd MRA Bali International Triathlon, now is the time to start training for an event that includes 1.5 kilometers of swimming, 40 kilometers of cycling and ends with a brisk 10 kilometer run through the Jimbaran and Nusa Dua areas of South Bali.

While the MRA Bali International Triathlon will take place on Sunday, June 28 2009, those interested in joining a pre-race training event can gather at the Coconut Grove Beach at the Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay on Saturday morning, March 21, 2009.

Open to the public without charge, participants will gather at 8:30 a.m. to take a short practice swim followed by an escorted tour by bike covering the same 40 km route through Nusa Dua and the Ungasan peninsula that will be used in June.

Leading the swim and the bike tour will be Indonesian swimming legend Richard Sam Bera. Sam Bera is a senior Indonesian athlete with Southeast Asian swimming records that still stand. He now works the Managing editor of the MRA Group's "Men's Fitness" and "FHM."

The "warm-up" swim and cycling tour is open to serious bikers – both male and female - who are at least 16 years of age. All participants must register in advance and are required to wear cycling helmets. While this is no charge to participate, prior registration is a must!
