OAT TRAINING DAY & DRAFTING CLINIC: MAY 4th

We've added one more training day to the schedule, Sunday May 4th. We will also offer a drafting clinic too - athletes can do one or the other, but not both (they will run at the same time). I've posted the Training Day info, followed by the draft clinic info. Please note that we're starting an hour later than normal, and we're starting with cycling; the pool is booked in the morning, so we're swimming from 1-3pm.

May 4th TRAINING DAY DETAILS

FORMAT: Bike, Run, Core, Swim

START: Check in 8:45am, UofG Athletic Centre (note start time)

COACHES: TBA

REGISTER: E-mail Craig Taylor to confirm spot. Please type "TRAINING DAY" in the header.

FEE: $20, or free for targeted athletes who are Canada Games eligible

NOTES:

Parents are encouraged to work out too! E-mail Craig Taylor if you are interested. Parents will swim at the same time as the youth/junior athletes in their own lane with an assigned coach, and will bike and run separate from the youth/junior athletes.

Athletes who have attended previous Training Days or Swim Camps do not need to complete additional registration forms.

New athletes are welcome at the Training Day (age 12-19), and can obtain the registration material from me via e-mail.

Expect to ride outside! Remember to bring your helmet, and clothing appropriate for the weather.

If you have running shoes with elastic laces, please bring them - we will be working on transition skills.

Directions to the University of Guelph are available on the right hand side of the blog under "DIRECTIONS TO UofG".

Athletes who intend to compete in Junior draft legal races this summer must be certified for draft legal racing. If you have been certified in a previous year, you do not need to re-certify. Athletes as young as 14 years (as of Dec. 31, 2008) can attend the drafting clinic, but only athletes who are 16 years (as of Dec. 31, 2008) or older will receive their draft certification card. We will work on a variety of bike handling skills and tactics.
