Frequently Asked Questions
What distance should I choose as a first-time triathlete?

What equipment do I need for transition?
You'll need a bike in good working order, helmet (mandatory), running shoes, race belt for your number, towel, and any nutrition/hydration you require. A wetsuit is optional depending on water temperature. Bring a bike pump and spare tube for safety.
Is this race part of a series?
Yes, this is Round 1 of the Pho3nix Queensland Tri Series for 2026/2027. You can register for the full series or individual races. Competing in multiple rounds often provides series points and potential overall awards.
What are the water conditions like at Pelican Park?
The swim takes place in Bramble Bay off Pelican Park, which typically offers calm, protected waters suitable for all swimming abilities. It's a bay swim rather than ocean, meaning less swell and more predictable conditions.
