Good afternoon everyone!
I am hoping to host a Paratriathlon Training Day. If all goes well I would love to have 3 of them (December, January, February). There is no age limit or skill requirements as I believe most people will be new to the sport and I would like to start by introducing everyone to the sport, get the appropriate equipment and start to develop a training plan if they would like one for their weekly schedules. It would likely be a bike/run clinic but I can add swimming if there is enough interest.
I would provide training and help organize equipment rentals of the athletes, and provide guides for the VI athletes that require them. The focus would be on developing skills in all three sports and have a "fitness" check component to each training day. I would also provide a high level view of weekly training schedules for athletes to take-away to implement at home. I am working to create a 2019 Summer Paratriathlon series right now to give athletes a goal and provide motivation to continue training.
There is a great venue called the Abilities Centre in Whitby that would be a perfect place to host the event. I would like to do cycling and running at the Abilities Centre and if there is interest, than do a swim at either the Anne Ottenbrite Pool or the Whitby Civic Pool.
I can meet athletes before or after the training day for a 1 on 1 session to develop a more structured training plan if required.
Please let me know if there is any interest in this type of event and please forward this along to anyone you think would be interested.
Hope you are all having a great day!
