TI at the Smile Train Triathlon in Wake Forest

Well, it is official, I will offer a free 30 min. TI "booster" from 6:15-6:45am, prior to the Smile Train Tri. Rebecca Warriner of Smile Train, and FS Series, have graciously allowed me the opportunity to provide this clinic, free of charge to all 400 participants! Thanks to them.

Just last night at Rex Wellness, a friend of mine was struggling w/ his swim, as countless triathletes do, wondering if he'd make it the 250 meters required for this sprint tri on Sunday. After sharing 2-3 TI principles w/ him, and adjusting his technique, he made a dramatic improvement. This took 20 minutes. The difference is not only seen by myself as a coach, but is "felt" by the swimmer. Achieving balance in the water is the beginning of a new experience in the water. Seeing the look on a swimmer's face who feels a new sense of freedom in the water is very rewarding, and keeps me teaching TI.

For all 400 triathletes participating at the Smile Train Tri in Heritage on Sunday, June 28th, the TI cavalry is coming! Hope to see you there.
