june 6th -- Free Triathlon Clinic Details

I just wanted to get all of us on the same page so that we can have an excellent clinic this Sunday. As of now, we have 32 people registered and many of you are new to triathlon, which is very exciting! So, congratulations to you all for taking the first step towards completing your first triathlon!

I just looked at the hour-to-hour weather and it looks like we may be getting some rain. Based on the plan, we can hold the clinic in a light drizzle but, anything past that will create a dangerous environment. I'll be arriving at the Wappingers location at 7:30am and will make the decision whether or not we will hold the clinic. I will contact everyone personally. If you do not hear from me then the clinic is on.

The clinic will start promptly at 9am so please arrive 15 minutes early to get ready. Also, it is not required but, please carpool if possible.

Below is the Itinerary and a list of items you will need:
