Good morning, FirstTry Triathlon!

The clinic (presented by Fenton Winery & Brewery/Dream Machine Distillery ) is here. It's finally here!

And yes, we Clinic in the rain if we have to! Bring a poncho or two and your desire to learn and all will be okay.

We hope to see a bunch of you there today, getting that final prep in for the race!

Hey FirstTry Triathlon community-

It's almost here! The annual race clinic, presented by Fenton Winery & Brewery/Dream Machine Distillery is this Saturday June 6th!

If you registered, don't forget to show up! If you didn't register, you can still show up, just please bring cash so that we can pay the park!

Lastly, if you didn't select a shirt when you registered, please let us know. The mobile app for Run SignUp most likely didn't give you the option unfortunately. So, get us the info so that we can get you a shirt. We love the year round advertising!

Good Monday Morning FirstTry Triathlon community!

Big week! Last week to guarantee a shirt and also the clinic, brought to you by Fenton Winery & Brewery/Dream Machine Distillery

If you're not racing but would like to volunteer, we could still use some help! We have room for at least 6 to 8 more, especially if you're an early riser. Message us here or email at [email protected] and we'll get you swagged up and on course!

Thanks! See you soon!

How about this weather? Great temperatures for training and warming the lake up!

A couple of reminders- June 6th is last day to register to guarantee a shirt! After that, it's a lot of guesswork

Also, June 6th is the clinic, presented by Fenton Winery & Brewery/Dream Machine Distillery . If you didn't register at sign up, all is not lost! Please message us, bring the fee to the event, and we'll get you trained up!

See you soon!

Registration action is picking up! This (finally) warm spell will translate into immediate water temp improvement, and we're obviously happy about that!

To be guaranteed a shirt, we need your registration by clinic day, June 6th. After that, it's all a guess so get it in early please!

Happy Thursday, FirstTry Triathlon community!

For many of you, crossing the finish line will be the culmination of months of training that you never thought possible and a first time feeling that you'll never forget.

For others, our race is an annual event where you test your fitness against the previous year.

For everyone, it's a time to celebrate your accomplishment and enjoy our awesome finish line! Fresh fruit set up by Ginny and our favorite bread and butter from Crust - a baking company to help you recover!
