FREE Practice Triathlon Opportunity – June 6, 2015

Dear Team UCP Members:

You are invited to partake in the 2015 Olympic Day Practice Triathlon on June 6, 2015 at Edgewater Beach starting at 9:00am. This event is presented by North Coast Endurance Coaching and the Cleveland Triathlon Club.

Both adults and children are welcome and encouraged to attend. This is a great opportunity to run, bike and swim through a practice triathlon and learn more about the sport. Participants may do as much or as little as they would like, as this event will be geared toward newbies! It is not a race, but a low-key training session to run through the events and have questions answered by USA triathlon coaches and athletes. For more information, visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/events/1599802653611301.
