FOR RELEASE: February

(TROY,
MI) – The Troy
Community Center hosts a Triathlon Training Clinic on Saturday, March 7 from 10
am-12 pm. Whether you are interested in
competing in a triathlon but don’t know how to get started with the training,
or if you have participated before but you want to improve your time, this
clinic will help you reach your goals.
The clinic will focus on aspects of the key disciplines of a triathlon –
swimming, biking, running, and nutrition.
Experienced athletes from Team Mongo, American Cycle & Fitness,
Hanson’s Running Shop, and West Born Market will present at the clinic.
“A
triathlon is a challenging fitness goal, but it doesn’t have to be
intimidating,” said John Hug, Troy Community Center Fitness Coordinator, “I
have seen people who are just getting into exercise set their sights on an
event like a triathlon or marathon to give them something to work towards. It is great to see how proud they are when
they reach their goal.”
Bring
along your children to learn about the Team Mongo Kids Triathlon scheduled for
June 21 in Brighton. Children compete in a 6-9 age group, or age 10+.
For more information, call 248.524.3484. The Troy Community Center
is located at 3179 Livernois.
