Well-Fit is proud to be the sponsor and official coach for the Spirit of Racine Triathlon for the third year; for 2008 we have a complete training package that includes 4 different training programs.

Spirit of Racine Bike Training Ride
We are heading up to Racine, Wisconsin on May 25 and June 29 to ride the Spirit of Racine bike course.
Know every turn and bump in the ride; the more comfortable you are with the course the smoother and faster the bike leg of your race will be. We will start with a course overview and then split in to two speed groups. Group one will ride at 15 to 17mph and group two will ride at 17 to 20 mph. Two aid stations will support the ride serving water, sports drink and some energy food. However, each athlete should be prepared to be self sufficient.

Dates - May 25th and June 29th
Time – 7:30 am to 12 pm
Location – North Beach Park, Racine, Wisconsin at the beach parking lot at the end of Kewaunee St.
