Clinic 2
Thursday January 28, 2010 at 6.45pm
Mountain Bike Focus with Coach Tim Crowley
This clinic will show you the best ways to ride your mountain bike on the snow. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to ride on groomed trails in a learning environment. Tim will show you how to ride your mountain bike on snow so you will be able to 'float' over the surface, stay upright, and stay with the competition.
In winter triathlon you may encounter conditions such as steep soft snow or flat icy hard snow depending on what the weather is doing. Tim will share his insight into reading the conditions both in the days leading up to the race and how to read the conditions on the course on race day.
Also covered will be different equipment that can be used, the best ways to transition to the bike and then to the ski, how to warm up in cold conditions and the best ways to avoid injury.
Coach Tim is an expert coach and an active winter triathlete.
Following the clinic there will be a training 'mini winter triathlon' race at 7.15pm to use your new found skills.
