2016 marks our 8th year with the popular novice clinic series. They are a lot of fun, and hundreds of triathletes and soon-to-be triathletes have made it to the starting line more confident as a result. Each clinic begins with an informal talk, questions and concerns are addressed, and each participant leaves with a hardcopy of the tips and topics covered. We then proceed to the workout of the day, practicing what we have learned. All levels of experience are welcome and included, we won’t leave you behind!
Our clinics are coached by:
Bill Maine of Bill Maine Tri Coach
To participate in any of these clinics, you must be a member of USA Triathlon for Insurance purposes. If you are not an annual member of USA Triathlon, you may purchase a one-day license from us at the clinic series for $12.00.
