Hello Ladies,

Congratulations on signing up for one of the best races in the province!  The Kincardine Women’s Triathlon Race Committee is in the midst of organizing the race, and we are excited for all of the developments so far. 

We want to keep in touch with you as you prepare for this race.  For some this is your first race, for others you may have competed here before.  As the race date approaches, the race committee is going to send emails to give some helpful training tips, along with some reminders for the race.

Some great training opportunites are available for those around the Kincardine area. The Kincardine Triathlon Club is holding a 3 day Training Camp May 23rd to May 25th.  This camp is offered to all ability levels incorporating all three disciplines with trained NCCP qualified coaches.  If you are interested please see the following link. http://kincardinetriathlon.ca/clubcamps.html

Are you struggling with the run segment of the race?  Would you like to join a group to learn to run or take your run training to a new level? There is a fantastic opportunity in the spring for anyone in the Kincardine, Walkerton and Hanover areas.  Saucony, along with the Kincardine Triathlon Club will be running the very successful LEARN TO RUN clinics in these areas!  The program runs for an 8 week period beginning in April. The clinics are designed to offer people the opportunity to come out in a group of like-minded individuals and learn more about running. It has the beginner point of view up to the more intermediate with something for everyone.  Topics include Stretching properly, Drills, warm-ups, proper clothing tips, Nutrition, Cross-training benefits as well as a visit from the Saucony rep with tips on shoes. Everyone will receive a specialty shirt from Saucony with his or her paid registration.  Everyone is invited to come out, first timers are encouraged, as this is a great way to start getting active with your friends and family.
