Center schedules triathlon training

FLETCHER — The Lelia Patterson Fitness Center (LPC) along with Carolina Gold Fitness is offering several free activities to help those interested in preparing for the LPC Triathlon on Aug. 18 held at the LPC.

Trainers will host group bike rides of the 17.5 mile triathlon bike course every Sunday until the LPC Triathlon starting at fitness center parking lot at 8 a.m. The group rides are an excellent way to get in shape for the biking portion of the race and become familiar with the turns and hills.

 

Hunter Subaru-LPC Triathlon features a 200-yard pool swim, a 17.5-mile bike ride on quiet country roads and a rolling 5k run. Both individuals and relay teams can participate. In the LPC Triathlon Team Competition, you don't have to be a three-sport triathlete to be in the triathlon. You can pick whichever sport is your best event and just swim, just bike, or just run for a team.
