Practice Tri at Boulder City
2024-04-06 07:30 - 12:00
Ace your race! Learn the secrets and basics for your first race, or build a triathlon vocabulary for your season. Come to Boulder City pool for a morning of swimming, biking, and learning the ropes of tri-sport.
On April 6th Robert Picardo, one of the area’s first triathletes and the swim safety coordinator for the Las Vegas triathlon club, will host a morning clinic on all things triathlon.
We start at 7:30 am at Boulder City pool for open water training. Starting with a short stroke assessment, we move on to swimming with others, drafting, buoy turns, sighting, and strategy. Learn to relax in open water and how to maximize your swim with the least amount of effort.
At 9 am we move on to the bike and T1 and T2. Topics include swim to run, bike efficiency, shifting, descending, feeding, and bike to run transition.
A must-have tutorial for your first race or season, this class will show you how to maximize and enjoy your time in the sport. Don’t make your first triathlons a blur, make them a statement!
Here’s the details to participate:
-Sign up to use the Boulder City pool online (https://bcrec.recdesk.com/community/home) or in person the morning of.
– The swim will be run as a BC parks class and the cost should not be more than $5.00.
– Bring your gear- everything but a wetsuit, we won’t need those. From there we move to a natural transition area just off the River Mt. trail.
– Be aware that this will not be a “workout” in the traditional sense, but an intellectual and practical exercise.
– Finish by 11am.
If this is your first season or if you are coming from another sport this class will be invaluable. See you there!

Practice Tri at Boulder Beach
2024-04-07 08:30 - 12:00 | Boulder Beach, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Lakeshore Road, Boulder City, NV, 89005, United States
Join us at Boulder Beach for an introduction to Triathlon. This is geared towards the first time triathlete looking for some instruction on the course.
You must be a LVTC Club Member to participate in this clinic.
The purpose of this walk-through triathlon is to prepare new triathletes for their first competitive triathlon by actually going through all the steps of a triathlon, slowly and methodically, under instruction. There’s an old adage in education that states “What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand.”

In this exercise, we’re going to walk through all three legs of a triathlon, including transitions, discussing what to expect and how to conduct yourselves in the triathlon from start to finish. The swim, bike, and run portions of this exercise will be shortened segments. The focus will be on understanding what to expect, how to prepare, and how to deal with issues that commonly arise. We will do the entire exercise together, without competition, and without watches or concern for performance.

The goal of this exercise is to reduce apprehension and remove some unknowns, ultimately giving new triathletes more confidence in their ability to complete their first triathlon.

Meet at 8:30 am, in the water at 9 am.

What you should bring:
Your wetsuit and goggles, bike and biking and running gear, two towels, (or a towel and a mat to stand on) and if you were going to run and ride in something other than a tri suit, bring the clothes for your riding and running. No need for a watch, as this is not a race!

“The most common injury during swimming is easily the shoulder. After 20+ years of treating shoulder injuries and coaching triathletes/swimmers preventing these injuries can be very simple and effective. A proper warm up, swim technique/biomechanics, strength program, and volume control are the keys to healthy and fast shoulder. Let’s have a discussion on how to improve your swim split.”

Park at the Visitor’s Center, which is at 16001 Corn Creek Road. Take I-95 North and go about 14 miles past Highway 215. You’ll see signs for Corn Creek Road and the Desert National Wildlife Refuge.

IMPORTANT: Non-members are welcome, but they MUST sign a waiver before riding with the group. See Bob Gamble, John Mercer, or Matt Olson to sign a waiver.

– Speed bumps have been installed on Corn Creek Road – be mindful of them – pass them on the shoulder of the road, not the center; the road is open to vehicle traffic.
– When passing someone, pass only on the left and announce that you are passing before you get there! This is especially important with the speed bumps. Either ring a bell or announce, “On your left.”
– The weather in this area will probably be windy and temperatures will be in the low 60s to low 70s. Exercise extra caution in the wind, especially in your aero position.
– This is a public road open to traffic, and its main purpose is access to the Desert National Wildlife Center; obey traffic laws and be mindful of and courteous to drivers.
