NEW TO THE SPORT (NTTS)
COACHED GROUP TRAINING DESIGNED TO SUPPORT NOVICE TRIATHLETES
NTTS is geared toward those who have never done a triathlon and who would like to learn fundamental skills. Whether you are entirely new to fitness training or you are experienced in one or more sports (just have not put them all together yet), NTTS will not only help you get to the start line, but help you cross the finish line as well.
The four disciplines of triathlon - swim, bike, run, and transitions, are all part of our NTTS program. Workouts and clinics will also cover wetsuit how-to’s, open water swimming skills, race preparation, nutrition, bike maintenance, and “brick” training. Everything you need to know before your first triathlon!
Our training plan will integrate you into the club’s regular swim, bike, and run programs.
