Mr. T’s returns

Brian Travelbea and wife Laura are back with Mr. T’s Learn to Tri, a 12-week triathlon training program for both adults and children.

The Mr. T’s program is meant for children ages six to 19. There is also a sprint-distance triathlon available for adults. It covers distances from as little as a 50-metre swim, 1-km bike and 500-m run for six-year-olds, up to a 750-m swim, 20-km bike and 5-km run for adults.

Travelbea, a nationally certified triathlon coach with more than 30 years of experience, will provide information on bike safety, swimming technique and running form. There will be a practice transition session near the end of the program at the race site at Kalamalka Lake.

The program culminates with the Mr. T’s Kids of Steel and Sprint Triathlon, Sunday, June 19 in Coldstream. Visit vernonkostri.ws, or e-mail Brian at coachingforu@gmail.com for more information.
