It’s race week here in Jervis Bay, and the countdown is on! There are only 2 days to go until Jervis Bay hosts the first Long Course Weekend to be held outside of Wales. The full long course involves a 3.8km swim on Friday, a 180km bike ride on Saturday and a 42.2km run on Sunday. What’s not to love? Unfortunately, the event is sold out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t come down to Huskisson to watch the competitors and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Xtreme Carbon will be there exhibiting our triathlon wheels and chatting to familiar faces, so be sure to come along and say hello!
