Ever wanted to try a triathlon? Triathlons and other multi-sport events are becoming more and more popular and Y Tri Club is here to help you accomplish your goal.

The Tri Club is led by Y Personal Trainer, Linda Parentice, who is also a seasoned multi-sport athlete. The club is open to all levels, from participants looking to complete their first event, to experienced athletes looking for a team environment to help improve their skills. The club is open to ages 12 and older (ages 12-14 must be accompanied by a parent). Participants may begin with one sport or partake in all three; running, swimming, and cycling.

With the guidance, encouragement, and support of Parentice, the Y Tri Club will feature group runs on and group bike rides, as well as team events, Zone workouts, technique workshops, and social opportunities. The club is scheduled to meet April through September and participants can attend sessions which best fit their schedule.

There will be an information session about Tri Club in the Williams Room at the New Canaan YMCA on Wednesday, March 11 at 7:00 pm. All individuals or groups interested in joining the club are encouraged to attend. Registration for Y Tri Club is available at the Front Desk or online at www.newcanaanymca.org. The club fee is $100 for New Canaan YMCA members. For additional information, please contact Linda Parentice at lparentice@newcanaanymca.org.
