On Saturday 27 March 2010 Hawk Racing Pro Triathlete Helen Libby helped to put on a free triathlon clinic for beginners and intermediates at Freedom Sports in Panama City Beach, FL. Participants were walked through the traditional triathlon sequence highlighting the rules and “tricks” to ensure a safe and efficient race. General swim techniques, transition skills, and racing with comfort and speed were covered in this first clinic. Many participants stayed for an hour after the clinic officially ended to ask more questions and obtain contact information. Turnout was high even with a bike race held concurrent with the clinic. Keep your eyes out for future clinics which plan to divide up the segments and integrate each with a group training (e.g. swim training then group open water swim) which will allow more individual attention.
