SwimBikeRun Fun’s Duathlon & 5K clinic is geared towards females new to duathlons and inclusive to all aspiring triathletes. Our Du clinic will take athletes through every aspect of racing a duathlon.
Our goal is to educate runners/cyclists on this multisport option for future activities.
And we’re excited to try out some state-of-the-art timing equipment that will allow us to capture timed results for athletes and host a almost free 5K race the same morning.
This clinic event is designed to give a "mini" duathlon experience. Experienced Triathletes & Duathletes will have an opportunity to practice bike-to-run transitions in a safe and fun environment. At this clinic, Duathletes will do a super sprint distance duathlon as well as practice TRANSITIONING from the run to bike to run, a very important aspect to successfully and enjoyably completing duathlons/triathlons.
We will have mentors in transition to provide hands-on help to set up your space and prepare for the race.
This clinic is limited to 15-45 participants and we recommend bringing running gear, towel, cycling gear (helmet, bike, bike shoes, pump) and all the questions you have about the event.
Our Clinic will cover many topics including:
- Event/Race Format (What is a Duathlon and how to do one)
- Setting up your transition area
- Bike equipment
- Basic Duathlon knowledge A series of 5 educational videos will be emailed to registrations covering the following
What is a Duathlon (Race Format)
Bike Safety checks
What is transition and how to setup
Run/Walk strategies
Pacing for DU & 5K
