Sorry for the late post, but here's two different opportunities (see dates and times below) for you to checkout the XTERRA Whitewater Triathlon course along with a transition clinic.

We’ll start each clinic at the XTERRA Whitewater transition area (see website for course map and transition location) with a quick discussion about the upcoming race and transition strategies. Then, we’ll pre-ride the XTERRA Whitewater bike course, pausing along the way to discuss and practice some of the more advanced obstacles/sections. For those wanting the full experience, we’ll also pre-run the XTERRA Whitewater run course.

Topics covered:
-Why transitions are important and strategies to reduce transition times
-What you need in transition and what you don't
-How transitions differ from road and off-road triathlons
-2 part swim unique to XTERRA Whitewater
-Course preview: pre-ride and pre-run

Two opportunities:
#1 - Saturday, June 7th, 2014 – 9:00 a.m.
https://www.facebook.com/events/637457633010884/

#2 - Sunday, June 22nd, 2014 – 9:00 a.m.
https://www.facebook.com/events/760464070640429

What you'll need: mountain bike, helmet, water bottle or hydration pack and running shoes. You can rent
bikes and helmets at the USNWC Trail Center if you don’t have your own.

There is a $5 (per car) parking fee paid to the Whitewater Center at the gate. Outside of that, this opportunity is FREE. Be sure to bring additional cash however, as there is an AWESOME restaurant onsite as well as draft beer. ;-)

If you want more information on the race or the clinic/preview, check out the website at http://usnwc.org/xterra-whitewater-triathlon-2/

Next year I want to try one of those. I wouldn't feel comfortable with my current (lack of) mountain biking skills.
