No you are not required to reside in a specific area. However, since training sessions and events are often held in Essex and London it's practical to choose a club whose activities are accessible to you.
Do I need to be proficient in swimming, cycling and running to join?

Racing is completely your choice and Roding Valley Tri will support you whatever your goals.

How far/fast do you go on a club ride? I’m afraid I will not be able to keep up!
