WORKOUT NEWS ---------------

YOGA ON MONDAY Join us on MONDAY, January 28 at 5:45a for Yoga for Athletes with Holly Konrady. All club members and veterans are welcome. Bring a yoga mat and hydration and dress in comfortable layers.

SWIM CLINICS The YDubTriClub is hosting two swim clinics as a practice for the Azalea Triathlon on March 9. You may attend one or both! The first will be Sunday, February 10 at 9:00 am and will include at least two 300-yard practice snake swims. It will be open to current club members, alumni and to Wilmington's PINK LADIES! This will be a great opportunity to nail down your estimated 100 yard swim time for race registration. You can change your time up to two weeks before the event.

The second clinic will be held on Sunday, March 3 at 9:00am. The second clinic will include the 300-yard snake swims + a bike and run option to practice transitions. This event is open only to current club members and alums. And, you can participate in either clinic --- even if you aren't doing Azalea.
