Many participants have said that this is the very best way to prepare for your first triathlon. From start to finish, you will have all your questions answered, you will be safely led thru the training, and you will feel strong and confident to race when you step up to the start line.
If this particular race is not in your plans, the training program can also be used for any late season race of your choice.
This program includes:
To start you will need a swim suit, well fitting goggles, water bottle; a bike, preferable a road or tri bike but a mountain bike or hybrid with a slick back tire will do; a good pair of runners. For the race you will also need to either borrow or rent a wetsuit. Tri-it rents wetsuits for $40 for the weekend.
Accommodations: The group stays at the host hotel Westin Lake Las Vegas, a deluxe hotel in the beautiful Lake Las Vegas Resort, which is about 40 mins SE of Las Vegas. www.westinlakelasvegas.com.
Travel: We generally try to travel together as a group and can get a group discount with Westjet provided we have 10 + travelers. (~$600 return flight)
Testimonials: Over 50 women have experienced this program with Jill and many have had wonderful experiences; here is what a few have had to say:
- The training was awesome…I actually completed a Triathlon, but gained so much more…confidence, strength and a new belief that my goals are attainable, and I met some amazing women along the way.
- Thanks so much for introducing me to this sport and helping me navigate through starting out.
- I think you're awesome! Your sessions are positive, encouraging and motivating! You make me believe I can do it!
- The location was beautiful, what an amazing place to race, the bike and run courses were especially unique. Having a group to train with is also such a wonderful thing, and then getting to do the race with everyone and celebrate at the finish line was terrific.
- I wish I could put into words how much I enjoyed Irongirls Las Vegas. It truly is a remarkable experience to race there and being surrounded by our group is absolutely the best feeling. Thank you for everything. You put so much into this program and I know all of us were made better athletes during your training. This race has a special place in our hearts!
