Race director David Budge said he was excited to see the series back in Armadale.

“Champion Lakes has always provided one of the best triathlon courses in Western Australia, and after a brief hiatus we’re pleased to come back,” he said.

“The race will offer a fantastic opportunity for elite triathletes to show off their speed and determination but it will also be an ideal platform for first timers to give a triathlon a go.

“Most people think that to do a triathlon you need to be super fit, which is not the case – anyone with a good base fitness can take on our enticer (short course) triathlon.”

The City of Armadale Triathlon is on February 18 at the Champion Lakes Regatta Centre.
