Swimming, cycling and running: it doesn’t sound that complicated and of course it isn’t. But if you combine these sports – as is customary in a triathlon – it becomes a bit more complicated, especially if you also take into account that you have to switch to and from the different components. Reason enough for DTS to offer a number of transition clinics again this year, so that you – beginners as well as more experienced athletes – can optimally prepare yourself for the upcoming competitions.
These training sessions will be given in collaboration with the trainers of Training Tweaks, Wouter Dijkshoorn and Young Fokker, and are specifically intended for athletes of all levels. Wouter and Young are both Level 3 running and triathlon coaches and, through Training Tweaks, have been partners of TRI HARD, Amsterdamse Triathlons and now also with DTS for years. Participants naturally choose for themselves whether they want to participate in the transition clinic, triathlon training or perhaps both, but in any case they are guaranteed the expert knowledge of these trainers.
Transition clinic:
A triathlon involves much more than ‘just’ swimming, cycling and running. Because how do you actually do that with your wetsuit when you get out of the water and how do you make the transition to your bike as smoothly as possible? Where do you put your helmet and where do you put your cycling shoes? What do you have to pay attention to? And after cycling, do you put on your running shoes straight away, or is it wise to put on different socks first or eat a gel? During the transition clinic – of which we are providing four this year – all these kinds of questions are discussed and we will guide you through this sometimes quite difficult subject.
