WELCOME TO THE CLEVELAND TRIATHLON CLUB 
CLEVELAND, OHIO, USA

THE 2010 INDOOR TRIATHLON SERIES !    Sunday, March 28th Veale Center, CWRU Adelbert, Cleveland Race Day Schedule and format: Participants do a pool swim, stationary bike ride, and a treadmill run with approximately 5 minutes transition time between each discipline. The order of events may vary depending on the wave to which you are assigned. Note that due to challenges associated with calibrating the stationary bikes, the bike leg will not count toward the total distance. We may opt for a tough spin workout to fatigue your legs for the run (similar to what happens in a regular triathlon).
