to use as a gauge of your fitness early in the season.
It’s a tune-up…hone your skills
and remember what it feels like to race 3 sports in one event!
TUNE UP FOR THE 2018 SEASON!!!
The Tune Up Tri has a twist in it:
since we’re racing in March and don’t want icicles in our hair…..
we’ll start the triathlon with the run, then do the bike,
and finally end up with a “snake swim” at the pool
(so you begin your swim whenever you arrive, not having to wait for an empty lane)
