==========================================================
2. Team Z Clinics taking place this week
6. Saturday Race Strategy, Transition, USAT rules clinic ”“ 9:00 AM – Bonzai Sports, Falls Church
This will be a solid two hour clinic where we will discuss the 10 most commonly violated rules of the sport – and discuss in detail drafting/blocking/and other bike rules. We will talk about planning for your race including packing lists, building race plans/nutrition plans, and strategy (how hard to go, when, and for how long). We will also address transitions – what to bring, how to set it up, and what to expect on race day. New to racing? I’m certain you will learn much from this clinic!

7. Saturday Wetsuit Selection clinic ”“ 10:30 AM – Bonzai Sports, Falls Church, VA
If you have never been taught about how to buy, wear, or take care of a wetsuit than this clinic is certainly worth your time. We will answer questions about expensive vs. inexpensive – and do you need to spend a ton (no). We’ll talk long sleeve vs short sleeve, and what drives price in wetsuits (technology). We’ll answer how to put on and take off the wetsuit properly, and how to take care of your suit so that it lasts for years. Are triathlon wetsuits like surf suits or scuba suits – ABSOLUTELY NOT – 100% different. Don’t want to buy? Let us tell you about the rental options, and rent to own. Don’t miss this if you are a rookie!
