The triathlon & duathlon clinic will go over every aspect of racing a triathlon or duathlon. If this is your first triathlon we recommend that you attend both the Swim Clinic AND the Tri & Du clinic. The clinic is designed to give you a "mini" triathlon or duathlon experience. Triathletes will do the sprint distance swim as well as practice TRANSITIONING from the swim to bike to run, a very important aspect to triathlon. Duathletes will practice the run and TRANSITIONING from the run to bike to run. We will give you lots of tips for how to set up your transition and prepare you for your race. You will set up your transition, just like you would on race day and practice transitioning between the events. You will do the sprint swim, a short bike ride (as in around the block) and a quick run to give you the feel for transitioning between events.
This clinic is limited to 45 women and we recommend you bring your swim gear (goggles, swim cap, swim suit, wetsuit - strongly recommended), running gear, towel. cycling gear (helmet, bike, bike shoes, pump) and any questions you have about the event. NOTE: If you've never swam in open water before we require you to attend one of the swim clinics.
We will cover many topics including:
- open water swimming
- race strategy (entering and exiting the water)
- setting up a transition
- bike equipment
- basic triathlon & duathlon knowledge
