WEEKLY TRAINING SCHEDULE
The Tritons have successfully concluded its summer triathlon training plan and program!  There are no formal training sessions currently planned in the next few weeks.  Take a break, enjoy the summer!  Meanwhile, the Coaches will be meeting in the next week to discuss the Club’s off season program.  An outline should be available soon, likely at Catapalooza during the last week of August.  Stop by the Club’s table at Catapalooza, or better yet, volunteer to “man the booth.”
