Kick off Summer Practice Triathlon at Sherwood Island

Today Dom Gillen, head of the TARGETRAINING triathlon program, ran the first of TARGETRAINING's summer series of practice triathlons. He successfully coached a group of clients through a sprint distance triathlon. Another way to say it is that a bunch of TARGETRAINING clients completed an early Sunday morning triathlon on July 5th at Sherwood Island, Westport CT.

These simulated TARGETRAINING triathlons are held at beautiful Sherwood Island in Westport CT. Sherwood Island is a great venue with a great beach, an excellent, flat cycling and running loop closed to traffic except for beach goers, and nice facilities. It costs $7 to get a pass for the day (it's fun for the entire family), but you can also bike there from TARGETRAINING (which is only a few minutes away by bicycle).

Dom spends time coaching the athletes through the entire triathlon, including both transitions. It is a fantastic way to be prepared for upcoming races. And it is just plain fun.

You may use the TARGETRAINING summer 10 pack to attend these sessions. You can sign up for a single practice triathlon too for $30. These practice sessions offer no prize money and no timing system but you get to go fast while getting coached (all sorts of pointers). Write to Dom@TARGETRAINING.com to find out more.
