    Hi guys,
    for those of you interested in triathlon, the local Galway club are holding a beginners day.

    Hope to see some interested parties there
    Beginners Triathlon Day

    The idea of completing a triathlon for many people is a daunting
    prospect, however lack of fitness, knowledge, or an inability to
    swim need not stand in the way.


    Galway Triathlon Club will hold an information day for people of all
    abilities on Saturday February 20 at 9am in the Kingfisher Club in
    NUIG.

    The event will provide the tools, and knowledge to prepare for your
    first triathlon regardless of fitness level. There will also be
    advice on selecting a suitable race.

    Every year Galway Triathlon Club see members join who cannot swim,
    and have no running or cycling experience. Through club coaching
    sessions many of these members complete their first race within the
    season they start.


    Participants on the information day can take part in a basic fitness
    test which will be followed up in June, and will receive a training
    plan for their first triathlon.

    There will be a newcomers lecture covering all you need to know for
    your first triathlon along with information on club training, and
    support structures for new members.


    This will be followed by a practical pool session (non-swimmers
    welcome) and a basic bike and triathlon transition skills session.


    Those who wish to participate in the practical sessions must bring: Running gear,
    swimsuit, swimming hat and goggles.

    A fee of EUR5 per head will be charged to cover costs.

    For more information visit www.galwaytriathlonclub.com
    or contact galwaytriclubsecretary@gmail.com
