Open Water Swim Clinic & Practice May 13, 2015

Open Water Swim Session and Clinic presented by Midwest Triathlon Coaching in conjunction with the Kansas City Triathlon will be held again this year on May 13th at the Longview Lake Swim Beach (site of the transition areas for the KC Triathlon).  Clinic will include a safe opportunity to get into the Lake prior to the first local race of the season.

In addition, we will present Ten Tips for Better Open Water Swimming with a Q&A session to follow at three separate times during the evening.

Beach Opens at 5:30p. Athletes can swim as much as they'd like from 5:45 to 7:30p.

Wetsuits are highly recommended. XTERRA Wetsuits is supporting the event and we have a discount code available for all Clinic participants. If you don't have a wetsuit or are interested in purchasing a new one, contact me at ken@mwtricoach.com. 

Early registration is $23 and space is limited so don't delay. Register now at ACTIVE.com

Midwest Triathlon Coaching is the official Coaching Service of the Legend Triathlon and we will be using our experience from running similar camps for the past five years to host the Legend 70/100 Training Camp May 8-10th.

In addition to the Legend Tri, this Camp will be beneficial to any area athletes racing Long Course Triathlon (70.3 or more) in 2015 including Boulder 70.3.

Structure of the Camp will follow the proven plan that has been developed and refined over the years:

• Friday evening - introduction & pool swim session in a 50m pool in the KC area
• Saturday - to Lawrence for an Open Water Swim discussion and practice in Clinton Lake (carpool will be available for those that want it or aren't sure where to go)
• Fully supported group ride of the full route(s) followed by an Off the Bike run
• Sunday - Group run in Leawood followed by a discussion on race day nutrition

Cost is currently $125 but will go up to $175. Discount is available for MTC Coached athletes as well as athletes using the Legend 70 / 100 Event Specific Training Plans.
