TRI 101
Are you wondering, “Oh my gosh – what did I get myself into?” Well, no need to be asking that question, we are here to put your mind at ease. What do I wear, what equipment do I need, what training is needed, what is race day like? Answers to these and any other questions you may have will be answered. We will have some first-time participants tell you what it was like for them on race day too. You will leave feeling good about the journey you are about to be on!

TFAC SWIM CLINICS
There will be four on-course swim clinics held at SMCC. Race Director Allison Richards will discuss water safety, navigation and provide important swimming tips before sending waves of women into the water for a swim around the course. Staff will be available following the swim to answer any questions and concerns. These clinics are offered to provide women the chance to experience an ocean swim with a group, as it will be on race day. This will be a good opportunity to practice with your wetsuit and get comfortable with the cool water temperature. We will have sheJAMs “SWIM ANGELS” available for those who need them.
All participants are encouraged to swim open water with your wetsuit several times before clinics & race day. These clinics should not be your only or first time in open water. Please be prepared, swimming in cold open water for race day takes practice. NO BUOYS WILL BE ALLOWED. Please be mindful that spots are limited and only register for the dates you know you can attend.
