Triad Triathlon Team Newsletter
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Believe or not, the season is in full bloom! We have already had several clinics including our latest clinic held at the new E3 location at The Club on Oakbranch. Coach Matt provided invaluable tips regarding best practices for racking your bike, organizing your gear, and turning your transitions into free speed! He even had us doing flying mounts :-). 


 

Additionally, we kicked off the year with the first 2 of 4 TTT Brick Training Events and look forward to the next 2 to be held in March and April. We have plenty of other activities planned for you so read the rest of this newsletter to get the details.

 

ATHLETE OF THE MONTH!

The TTT Athlete of the month is Wes Koonts! Wes has been with the team for a long time. He has also been on the team board for several years most recently co-chairing our activities and events committee. An incredible athlete with tons of experience and one of the most passionate triathletes you will find. Highly recommend you read his short Q&A by clicking HERE

 

 

MARCH TEAM MEETING

March Madness is not just about Basketball! The 2nd week in March is chalk full with TTT activities as well. This month, our team meeting will be combined with our TTT Bike handling/group ride skills clinic on March 8 @ 1 PM in the Stokesdale Elementary School Parking lot. The meeting part will be kept short to maximize our time for the clinic as well as the group ride planned for immediately after the clinic. This will be a 15 mile (NO DROP) ride on the course of the Belews Lake International/Sprint bike course. See below for additional details
