Cleveland Tri Club Practice Tri Clinic

The Cleveland Tri Club will hold a Beginner's Practice Triathlon on Sunday June 10, 2012 at 8:00 AM.  CTC invites all beginner triathletes to participate in this very informal event.  This event is open for members and non-members of the Cleveland Tri Club.  All are welcome!  Here are a few things we will discuss and practice during the event:

1.  Preparation for event- What you need to do before the race, and what you need on race day
2.  Transition-  How to arrange your area to switch from swimming to biking to running
3.  Open water swimming-  Very different than in the pool! (we recommend a wetsuit for Lake Erie in early June)
4.  Bike Leg- Bike handling and etiquette
5.  Brick run-  Your legs will feel like bricks after riding a bike

We will have our Newbie Coordinator Tim Edwards and veteran triathletes on hand to answer any and all questions.  Tim Edwards is a USAT certified coach.  The event schedule is very loose and is as follows:

8:00 AM Arrival, Register and Transition help
8:45  Open water swim technique and practice
9:15  10 Mile bike ride (any bike is OK!, helmet required)
10:15  Brick run- about 2 miles
10:45  Final Discussion
