Newby Training is for those who want to train for their first triathlon in a fully coached triathlon training program. Newbies will be assigned to a swim coach and have first priority for coached spinning and running sessions. The Newbie program will include a number of additional training activities, including a mock triathlon, weekend group bike rides, open water swim practice, a bike repair session, and tips on training, injury prevention, nutrition, hydration, tapering, transition and racing. The training is designed to prepare athletes for an Olympic distance triathlon, but participants will have a choice of doing a Sprint or an Olympic triathlon to start. The group triathlon this year will be the St. Mary's Triathlon, a Sprint and Olympic distance triathlon on Saturday, June 17. Participants may also use the training to prepare for a race of their own choosing. There is a one time $200 registration fee for the Newbie program (plus a $15 activity fee, payable to Larry Atkins). This program is limited to 50 participants.
