Danskin Triathlon Training starts at the RecPlex this Sunday.

Intermediate/Advanced Class (7:00-9:00)

• Meet at the beach at Lake Andrea (across the lake from the RecPlex) at 7:00am.
• Your class meets with the Trek Intermediate class.
• Workout will be open water swimming; please bring your swim gear (including wetsuit if you have one).
• After the class swims, the Trek group will do a run. At that point we will go over the Danskin materials and training plan.

Beginner Class (9:30-11:30)

• Meet at the RecPlex at 9:30am.
• We are scheduled to meet in the Blue Room, which is to the right of the Guest Services Desk and down a short hallway. It is possible that the location will move; if so, I will post a sign and inform the Desk so they can direct you.

Trek Tri Training Class, Sunday, June 13

Class workout for June 13 is swim + run. Meet at the beach at 7:00am.

Plan to swim 4-6+ laps. Run will be either down to the boat landing and back, or (preferably) around the lake.

---

Trek Tri Training, Saturday, June 12

Class workout for June 12 is optional swim and brick.

For those interested in swimming, meet at the beach at 7:00am. We will swim for about 30 minutes.

Otherwise, meet at the beach area at 7:30. Bring all your bike and run gear. We will talk about setting up transitions, get all the gear set up, them do a ride of the Trek course. (Bring your cue sheets!) On getting back you will quickly transition to a run. Focus of this session is transitions and going from the bike to the run.

At this point you should be practicing with everything you plan to use on race day, including hydration (sports drink, etc.) and nutrition (Sports Beans, Power Bars, gels, etc.) We are moving more and more towards simulating the race in the class workouts, so start thinking about PREPARING for each class as if it were the race itself.
