Each year, we provide a free, beginner 3-month training plan for the women’s triathlon.
YWCA Women’s Triathlon Race Director Rachael Weiker provides an overview of all three training “blocks” of the YWCA Women’s Triathlon Training Plan and runs through some common questions and answers in the overview videos below.
This is our most popular summer class that focuses on tricks, tips and skills for completing or improving triathlons including gear, open water skills, transitions practice and bike handling. Includes a Mini Tri.
Practice putting together all the components of a triathlon - open water swim, transition 1, bike, transition 2, and run. We will provide a roped off transition area with bike racks and the support and guidance of Endurance Sports Coaches.
T2 is triathlon's second transition: bike to run. This class is a two-hour workout, preparing your body and mind for the effect of running after biking.
Learn and practice open water swimming skills such as freestyle efficiency, swimming straight, body contact, sighting, and strategy.
Knowing the bike course is one of the best strategies for beginners and competitive triathletes alike. Get a guided bike tour of the course.
These classes focus on building a foundation for freestyle endurance swimming for triathletes. Swimmers will learn stroke mechanics, drills, and practice methods to train up to an endurance swim of 500 yards or more. Our most experienced Total Immersion coaches provide feedback and encouragement.
