FREE Tri Training Clinic Opportunity

Tri Roanoke Valley will hold a series of free triathlon clinics offering information on equipment, training, nutrition, and training plans. The clinic series will be presented 7:00pm-8:30pm on:

• January 15 - "Introduction to Triathlon",
• February 19 - "Gear Night" (special guest and gear swap),
• March 26 - "Race Day Prep" at the T.J. Davis Recreation Center.

An additional "Performance Based Training Clinic" will be offered by Tom McDowell for beginners and intermediates who want to excel in their race efforts. For more information contact tom@triroanokevalley.com or Roanoke Rapids Parks and Recreation Administration Office at 252-533-2847.

The tri clinics were a great success last year getting people up and started on a program. About half of last years Tri Roanoke Valley participants attended the clinics and well over half of the participants were first timers. Everyone finished and had a great day. This year the tri clinics will continue but the free clinics will be for beginners. A all day "Performance Based Training" clinic will be offered as well to both beginners and experienced athletes wanting to achieve top performance this race year (this one may have a cost).

This is a GREAT opportunity for those of you who want to do your first Tri. Please consider supporting this race. They are going above and beyond to get first timers involved in triathlons. If you have always been too nervous to do one, you will not find a better and closer option than this race.

Post a comment if you plan to register and/or are interested in the clinics. We can easily arrange some carpooling to the clinics.
