In its 12th year, the Nautica New York City Triathlon has already become one of the country's premiere mid season tri events. The swim portion in the Hudson River is America's fastest Olympic distance swim.  If you have limited triathlon experience and would like to complete your first Olympic distance event, then this is the program for you.

If you are an existing athlete capable of running, cycling, and running and are looking to participate in your first triathlon, this could be the program for you. This 12 week, twice weekly workouts will be a combination of run, bike and bricks workouts. An introduction to the basics of triathlon, along with improved pacing, increased endurance and strength and transitioning will be the overriding focus of the class. We'll also have TWO pool workouts (April 16th & 23rd) at the beginning of the program which will work in conjunction with our weekly online swim coaching.  The goal of the pool workouts is to teach you the basic swim drills so that you will be able to understand and best maximize the online coaching.  If you would like a stronger swim concentration, program participants will be given priority discount entry into any of JackRabbit's fitness level specific swim programs.

We've developed this program for someone who can already run 3 miles continuously, can bike 10 miles continuously, and MUST be able to swim250 yards continuously, and be able to tread water. Ample time is devoted to race day preparation so that if this is your first triathlon, you will be well informed and prepared.
