TrySports’ Multi-Sport & Triathlon Training

powered by

It's that time of year again, the 2008 Triathlon season is already here. This is our third year, and after two very successful years where we prepared athletes for the Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series, this year we're teaming up with Tempo Indoor Cycling to deliver the ultimate multi-sport and triathlon training program.

What is it?

A revolutionary approach to swimming, cycling, running and triathlon training.  Via access to periodization based training at Tempo Indoor Cycling, and access to the TrySports Multi-Sport Club (with TryRun, TrySwim, and TryBike activity groups), you will receive a personalized training program to help you achieve your fitness goals and prepare for your preferred event (e.g. from a 5k walk to an IronMan distance triathlon).

To register for the training program all you need to do is either sign up in person at the store, over the phone or you can sign up right here. Simply login to your MyTry account (or join now) and follow the link to register for the Multi-Sport & Triathlon Training Program.

Who's it for?

Everybody!

The benefit of access to Tempo Indoor Cycling’s fitness studio and spin bikes, means everybody from the absolute beginner to the elite athlete, can train side by side, yet each working to their own abilities, to improve their cardio fitness and aerobic base, as a foundation for all future specific event training.

Your goal will be to complete one or more of the 2008 Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series, to be held on the following dates:

• 15th June
• 6th July
• 27th July
• 10th August

Or you may have another event or race in mind, just let us know: the date; the distances; and your current abilities; and we'll make sure we get you there!

Picture of the 2006 Athletes at the Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series, and a comment from one of the Ladies who attended:

"Last spring I decided to challenge myself in a new way by participating in the Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series. Joining the triathlon training program through Try Sports was the best decision I could have made. Being a novice, I was scared that I could not keep up or fit in. I had no reason to fear. The staff at Try Sports and the other people in the training program were wonderful. It was great to have people teach you the correct way to train and to cheer you on the whole way. During the races, having your new friends shouting your name and ready to hug you after the race was wonderful. I cannot wait to train with them again.

Hope all is well in the store. Please tell everyone I said hello.

Best,
Diana."
