Train 2 Tri

Upcoming Events:
March is the month of the Tri program! We will kick the month off with an Indoor Triathlon and close the month with spin into spring. Don’t miss out, “Tri.”

Sunday, March 4 Indoor Triathlon
Adults and kids it’s time to kick off your tri goal with the Indoor Triathlon. Each segment is 15 minutes. People will be broken up by gender and age. The cycling bikes will be moved to the lobby to add more excitement and running will take place on the treadmills in the wellness center.

For adults it is a 15 minute swim; 15 minute bike ride and 15 minute run. Kids (7 and 17 depending on height) will participate in a 7 minute swim; 7 minute bike ride and 7 minute run. There will be 7 minutes for transitions. Relay teams can also participate, by having a different person doing each activity. It isn’t a set distance like triathlons outside; it really is up to you and how far you go!

Registration is now open on Active.com and on our website. Register by February 15 to participate in a Free Tri Clinic to prepare for the event.

Cost:
Individual: $35 members
Relay: $80 members
Kids Tri: $15 members

It isn’t about speed or duration; it is about stepping out of your comfort zone and accomplishing something huge!

Spin into Spring
Get ready to ride outside with an inside spinning marathon. You pick your duration and distance – 1, 2, 3, or 4 hours of riding it is up to you! Some of our fabulous instructors will be taking the lead role for the ride. Our bikes will be brought up to the Main St. Lobby to add even more excitement to the event.
Cost: $10 per hour
Members and Non-members are invited to sign up now for the ride at the welcome desk or online through the registration portal. For questions email the Tri group.

Other March Events:
Learn about the Train 2 Tri program at an Information Session. Find out how our certified tri coaches will help you reach your goal. We will help you believe that you can finish a triathlon.
When: Friday, March 9 at 9:30 am & Monday, March 12 at 10:15 am

Group Hydro Running Session: Enjoy a group run in the pool! This is a great way to begin building strength as a runner. It is a zero-impact work out with resistance that works different muscles in the off-season or when your training is derailed by injury. Come try it out and then sign up for 1-on-1 sessions.
When: Friday, March 9 at 10:15 am and Monday, March 12 at 7:15 pm

Swimming – Our pool turns into the Lake During the summer our triathlon coaches host open water swim clinics in the lake to prepare people for the natural elements. Since the lake is a little cold right now we will be hosting ‘pool swim clinics’ to begin preparing people for the lake. Swimming in the lake is totally different than swimming in the pool.
When: Monday, March 19 at 6:30 pm or Friday, March 23 at 9:45 am
