Event Details
Welcome to beautiful Lake Arrowhead Park in scenic Luray, Virginia!
Geared toward beginner and novice triathletes, the Luray Race Prep & Open Water Swim Clinics are designed to help you prepare for the new Shenadoah Valley Sprint on 6/5 or the Luray International and Sprint Triathlons in August as well as other short course triathlons with open water swims.
The full clinic includes course discussion; a lifeguard supervised open water practice swim in pristine Lake Arrowhead; and a chance to ride and run the scenic bike and run courses. There is also an option for the swim only portion of the clinic.
About the Clinic
For the open water swim portion, coaches will be there to talk briefly about open water swimming and give tips for success, but most of all the practice is an opportunity for YOU as the athlete to get in open water in a safe, lifeguarded, stress free, non-competitive environment that will bolster your confidence come race morning. Course will be marked with buoys and you are welcome to swim multiple laps of the course within the allotted time frame. Please note that this is not an individual stroke clinic.
For the bike and run portions of the full clinic, coaches will discuss biking and running then give you the opportunity to practice on the Luray Triathlon course in a non-competitive environment. Finally, the full clinic wraps up with a discussion and examples of transition area. Lunch is included with the full clinic.

Water temperature at Lake Arrowhead was 74F last week so should be about the same this weekend. I'll post an updated temperature for this week as soon as I get it. Wetsuits are of course permitted, but not really necessary since the water is relatively warm.
If you need a wetsuit, Bonzai Sports in Falls Church as well as Conte's Bikes have them for rent.
See you on Saturday!
