Sentinel Training Clinic
As of the 21st of July the SCTA will be offering two free training sessions a week to its members on Tuesday and Thursday evenings leading up to the Santa Cruz Sentinel Triathlon on the 21st of September. The sessions will be coached by Martin Spierings (6th overall and first local finisher at last year's Sentinel triathlon) and will cater to all abilities, from first timer to experienced athlete.
Tuesdays 6pm for 6.15pm start - Lifeguard tower "2" at Seabright beach (the tower closest to the change rooms)
Open water swim and may be combined with a beach run. Bring googles, cap, wetsuit and towel and running shoes.
Thursday 6pm for 6.15pm start - Natural Bridges State Park. Delaware Ave. entrance.
Brick sessions (bike/run) but may sometimes be a ride only so more of the bike course can be covered.
You are invited by Events Coordinator Josh Mader to the Seabright Brewery (cnr. Murray and Seabright Ave.) after the first session on the 22nd of July for some responsible rehydration to kick off the clinic series and to mingle with your fellow Sentinel participants.
For people who are not members and want to participate: Memberships are only $50 from now to the end of the year!
