This weekend, NZ athletes, Tony Dodds, Dan Hoy and Nicole van der Kaay will take on the sixth event in the World Triathlon Series in Edmonton, Canada.

Dodds has been recovering from the crash that he came down on in the men's elite race in Hamburg a fortnight ago.

"I've been training with the Canadian team. It's been really good linking up with them here and experiencing their style of training," he said.

While Hoy has spent the last three weeks training in Loughborough with the British team.

"The facilities and the squad are world class, and it's been an awesome environment to train in," Hoy said.

Nicole has been home for the past three weeks after a successful trip to Japan where she claimed two golds in the Asian Cup.

"I've enjoyed my short time here at home. It's always easier to train when you are familiar with your surroundings and set routines," she said.

"I've been working on improving areas that we identified during my racing in Japan."
Athletes will be racing this Sunday (NZ time) from 7am.
