Kyoko Kawai replied to the topic Luray / North East Races – Aug 20/21 in the forum New Triathlete Program (NTP) for Paid Participants 1 month, 1 week ago

I have not done the both races. But I trained the Luray course a few times. Luray has relatively long up hill in the end on the bike course. But, it should not be a problem as many people I knew go back to race Luray almost every year. In fact, the repeaters do back to back (sprint and Olympic) double race at Luray. Luray is a DC Tri…[Read more]

Swim lane reservation is one hour. So we expect you would be at the pool deck with swim suits at the starting time . Probably we will ask the swim participants to meet at the lobby 15 mins prior for smooth check-in by a facility receptionist based on the attendee roaster that we will submit there.

Bike handling would be also about o…[Read more]

P.S. the reason triathlon bike might not be well fit for a new to bike person, a road bike is easier to maneuver ( turning, etc.) than a triathlon bike.

Hi Jared,

Here is the message from Julie,
Hi Jared, you can join any masters group without a knowledge of freestyle. The coaches on deck should be able to work with you on it. Do you have an idea of which masters program is convenient to you? If not, I can make some suggestions. You can reach out to me at juliebi@msn.com.
