TRIATHLON: This Girl Can initiative to try triathlon

Rugby Triathlon Club members Josie Goodwin, Bev Graham-Older and Jane Hurt. Try triathlon as part of the club's 'THIS GIRL CAN...' initiative

Swim, bike, run once a week throughout March - that is the invitation from Rugby Triathlon Club to the women of Rugby.

In support of the Triathlon England ‘This Girl Can…Do Triathlon’ initiative, the club is making training sessions available for any ladies who want to make that pledge and start the journey towards a triathlon.

You can join these sessions: Sunday early evening swim at Rugby School Sports Centre, Monday night run at the Rugby Athletic Track, Thursday night run from Rugby School Sports Centre and Saturday morning cycle from Rugby School Sports Centre.

Just follow the instructions on the club’s webpage to book your sessions (www.rugbytriathlon.org.uk).

The club has joined forces with Rugby School Sports Centre and the Breeze cycling network to deliver this Triathlon England (West Midlands) initiative.

There are lots of helpful tips on the ‘This Girl Can…Do Triathlon’ Facebook page www.facebook.com/groups/thisgirlcandotriathlon
