KELOWNA SUPPORT SCHEDULE

I'll be in Kelowna this week for Nationals, to support any/all Ontario junior athletes. I'm also available to support the Ontario elites, although I would suggest that the workouts (below) all move forward one day, to line up properly with the Sunday race (feel free to attend the sessions at the scheduled times, and we can adjust the set).

Athletes are welcome to attend some or all the sessions; please consult with your coach to choose the sessions that are right for you. I will also be on site both Saturday and Sunday to support athletes as needed. 

The schedule is below, and I've also included three important links: 

Please refer to the Kelowna Apple Triathlon Website for scheduling info, maps, etc.

If you would rather swim some of your workouts in a pool, here is a link to the closest pool.

If you need transportation from the airport to your hotel or homestay, the Kelowna Shuttle is one option. They run a van service. You can call ahead (toll free:1-877-235-6962, local: 250-765-0182) or find their kiosk when you arrive. One way travel for one person is $19 for most hotels (more for longer distance) and bike boxes are an additional $3. If there are two people traveling, the one-way fee is $11.50 per person + $3 per bike. Rates are reduced further as more passengers (to the same destination) are added.
