Clinic outline:
7:45 Arrive promptly at T1 and sign the waiver. Clinton lake will be charging to utilize the campground, so bring some cash to get into the campground (usually around $4:00). To get to swim start, turn into Clinton Lake via 1415 North. PARK AT T2 and ride down to T1 by following 1415 past the campgrounds.
8:00 Swim Discussion begins. Here we will discuss the notorious nerve-racking open water swim start. We will not be entering the water; rather, we will give you all the insight you will need on race day (e.g. staging, when to arrive at T1, which way the sun will be coming up, navigation tactics, etc).
8:15 Transition tips and secrets. We will give you the tips to turn your transitions from minutes, to seconds.
8:30 Transition to the bike
8:30-11:30 Bike course preview and overview.
We will ride the entire bike course and head back to T2 from there. There will be one aid station on the course located on the west side of the 458 and 1029 juncture, which will allow you to have 2 chances for water/fuel. Please bring your own nutrition, tire-fixing and hydration supplies.
There will be two pace groups available on the course, where our coaches will talk about the ins and outs of the course. The pace groups will ride at approximately 17-19 mph and 14-16 mph. We encourage you to ride with one of the pace groups in order to receive the full benefit of the clinic.
11:30 – 12:30 T2 tips/Run Course
When you return from the bike course, head into T2. From here you will receive instruction on the second transition and you will run the course. Feel free to do as much of the course as you wish as the course is a series of out and backs. There will be one aid station available at approximately mile 2 but please come with your own nutrition.
We will have a staff member at T2 ensuring that your bike does not run off without you. Since you won’t be going back to T1, it is probably wise to leave all of your shoes, cars, extra at T2.
12:30 Clinic Ends
Please note: there will be two levels at this clinic: beginner to intermediate and advanced. Please plan on staying with your respective group once you are on the bike. We look forward to seeing you on April 17th! If you have any questions, feel free to contact us by clicking here.
