 The Colony Christmas Triathlon is held Dec. 14, 2008 in Palmer.

If you can’t swim, bike or run well, don’t worry, we can work on that with you. It's common for new triathletes to alternate a jog/walk pattern for the entire race.

Carla’s strength is swimming and she also teaches cycle classes. Her techniques focus on using the core as the powerhouse. Instead of using the arms and legs to propel you forward, she trains you to use the core as your strength. The core muscles have much more stamina than your legs and arms and is the efficient way to train and compete.

This is a group class, meeting once each week, usually Saturday mornings. We’ll meet at various locations depending upon which sport we are focusing on that day.

The Colony Christmas Triathlon is really laid back. Some people even dress in funny costumes or funky hats for the event. It will be held Dec. 14th in Palmer. Distances are: Bike 10K, Run 5K, Swim 500 yards. The clock is stopped after the run and re=started once you have changed and are ready to start the swim.

You can even enter as a team, having each person do only one of the swim, bike, or run portion of the event.

There are countless stories of people getting in shape while training for a triathlon. Come have a blast with us and get in shape!

Cost is $110 for the entire 10 week period. Class starts Sat. Oct. 4th and meets most Saturday mornings. Times, some dates, and locations change depending upon which sport is trained that day.
