R3 (Run, Ride, Repeat) is a two hour land only workout class focusing on the sports of biking and running, and practicing the transitions between the two. After simulating the transition out of the swim, participants will bike around the lake, return to transition and then go out on a short run. Participants will repeat that sequence two to four times throughout the class, which is sometimes referred to as a ‘brick’ workout.
Swim Practice is a one hour class that allows participants to practice swim skills with the supervision and feedback of a coach and the training captains. This class occurs within the standard buoyed swim area.
