At long last, Boulder triathletes will collectively swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and run 26.2 miles on home turf.
Racers can sign up for the whole thing or join friends in a relay.
To help participants prepare, race organizers are offering an eight-clinic series on Saturdays, beginning June 9. Topics covered include training schedules, mental preparation, injury prevention and sport-specific skills. Six-time Ironman Hawaii champion Dave Scott, who lives and coaches in Boulder, will give the first class in how to optimize training, the last class on nutrition and a swim clinic with his sister Jane, masters coach for the city of Boulder recreation centers. Having a clinic series enables them to ask questions. The topics covered will be useful for competitors of all levels, Scott said.
