2008 Sprint/Olympic Distance Triathlon Team

Purpose: To create a focus group of athletes who would like to train for a sprint or Olympic distance event. The team calendar will consist of group workouts, and focus clinics on gearing for a sprint or Olympic event. We have two focus groups in each team – finisher and competitor. A ‘finisher’ if for anyone who coming into this program with little or no exercise routine and whose primary goal is to finish their race. A ‘competitor’ is for coming into this program with an established base in swimming, biking, and running.
