2010 Bend Endurance Triathlon Team
The program is designed to introduce youth, ages 13-16, to the exciting sport of triathlon.
Please join our staff for an introductory meeting Wednesday, May 26 at 6:00pm at the Bend Endurance Academy office.
We welcome newcomers as well as youth who have had some experience with swimming, biking and running or have participated in a triathlon before.
Participants will work to improve technique in each discipline, increase overall fitness and have fun while meeting other active multi-sport kids from the area.
The program lasts for 10 weeks, June 8-August 14
Participants will meet with their coaches on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-5:30pm at Juniper Swim and Fitness and Cascade Middle School.
Use the Google calendar on the right to confirm locations, dates and times.
The program costs $250 for individuals without a Juniper Swim and Fitness swim pass, and $200 for individuals who already have a swim pass.
Participants must demonstrate a level of proficiency in the pool- preferably a previous or current association with the Bend Parks and Recreation summer swim team or Bend Swim Club. A demonstration of swimming ability would also fulfill the requirement.
Participants must provide their own running shoes, water bottle and holder, road bike and helmet. A limited number of loaner road bikes are available. Contact brenna ‘at’ bendenduranceacademy.org regarding loaner bikes.
