The Crystal Lake Training Series is the core of the CDTC
triathlon activities and in-season workouts. It is a great
opportunity to learn, practice, and refine your triathlon
abilities, as well as meet other triathletes in the region.
The series lasts from June 10 - August 26 - weather permitting.
For members the cost is $10 per session or $80 for
all twelve nights, if paid before 6/1/08.
We invite nonmembers to try out a session for $20. There
are certified lifeguards in two powered boats during the
open water swim and helmets are mandatory for all riders
in the bike ride.
The series is NOT a race. It is a training event for
triathletes to practice their swim, bike, or run, as well
as work on transitions (T1 & T2 are both located in
the grass area at bottom of the hill by the lake). Athletes
are welcome to choose which event to do - i.e. swim only
- then run, bike only, swim-then-bike, etc…), but all
swimmers must start together at 6:00 p.m. and are limited
to two laps of the triangular course. There are no timers
except for the one on your own watch, so come on out and
enjoy!
