It’s lovely out - well maybe not today I guess, but its getting there. Slowly. Anyway, no excuses now for getting yourself a wetsuit and going for dip in preparation for the Marketing Industry Triathlon.

Personally, I’ve put it off so far. It’s been too cold and I don’t like swimming. But it has to be done I’m afraid.

Speedo recently brought out a bit of kit which you might be interested in to alleviate some of the boredom.

The Speedo Aquabeat is a fully waterproof mp3 player and although the sound quality is a bit tinny it does help when staring at the bottom of the pool lap after lap.

You wont be able to use an Aquabeat during our race, but you will need a wetsuit.

If you’ve not got a wetsuit yet, then our event partner Human Race has great offers on wetsuits at their website - which inlcudes a £20 voucher for any Human Race event.

So when signing up for our event at www.humanrace.co.uk why not get yourself kitted out?

The Marketing Industry Triathlon: Swim, Bike, Run… but not necessarily at the same time.

Today Marketing has announced its official involvement in the inaugural Marketing Industry Triathlon.

The event, which is being presented by The Contact Group, Human Race and the MCCA, takes place on 10 July at Dorney Lake, Eton, Windsor - home of the 2012 Olympic rowing regatta. We aim to raise £100,000 for our two chosen charities; Clic Sargent and Alzheimer's Society.

The day includes a full-length triathlon for the super keen, but also shorter distances for fist timers as well as a team relay.

Many are put off triathlon over concerns over costs. With that in mind I will be bringing you information on cheap wetsuit/bike hire once details they become available as well as handy triathlon hints and tips along the way.

Please feel free to email me with any questions relating to the day itself or triathlon in general at edward.kemp@haymarket.com

As way of background Triathlon is the fastest growing sport in the UK, with the London Triathlon now attracting around 13,000 competitors of various ability each year. Our event comes just a few weeks before the London Triathlon so should appeal to those of you looking for a timely warm up event.

Although the sport has never caught the attention of the mass media, Britain has an excellent pedigree in Triathlon. In recent years Tim Don and Helen Tucker have both been crowned world champions while Chrissie Wellington has won triathlon’s ultimate event, the Kona Ironman for the past two years.

Marketing have no such heroes but will be entering two competitors nonetheless; myself and Joe Thomas – We hope to see as many of you as possible on the start line.

Entries, which are open to anyone in the marketing, advertising, media and PR industry, are now available at www.humanrace.co.uk or call 0208 399 3579
