Why: 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.
Other: While certified lifeguards monitor the open water swim, you should be comfortable swimming a 1/2 mile swim before attempting this portion of the course. Swim caps are mandatory for the swim. Helmets are mandatory for all riders on the bike ride, and earphones are not permitted (bike and run).
The Tuesday training 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. splash and dash, bike only, swim-then-bike, etc.
