Located in the middle of the San Francisco Bay Treasure
Island offers two highly technical and very challenging short courses.
For the Olympic course you will ride a four lap 22 turn course
equaling no less than 88 corners over 40K, and go down one of the steepest
hills of any race in California. For
the Sprint race you will travel the same twisty turning course, but with
one less lap and no hills. Both
of these courses demand you be proficient in cornering, pedaling
techniques, and bike handling skills.
Since this is a race prep class we will be highlighting very
specific skills designed to maximize your experience and talent on this
course. You will be riding the
entire course at least once as well as stopping, highlighting, discussing
and practicing difficult areas and tactical points of interest.
After three years of leading this course Coach Phil has been able
to train hundreds of athletes to increase their efficiency, speed, and
control over this demanding course as well as gain the honor of riding
this course more than anyone. Whether
this is your first triathlon or one of many this class will improve your
knowledge of technical course riding.
Meeting
in the Transition Area we we cover the entire course in a shortened
version. Beginning with a look at and discussion of the swim and
Transition area we will then do one lap of the Olympic course and one lap
of the Sprint course bicycle sections followed immediately with a short
ride of the run section. Returning to Transition area we will
practice our T2 and do one lap of the run course (5k). This is a
special day just for Tri and Give participants and pre-registration is
mandatory for attendance.
Acceptable bikes:
Road bikes, Triathlon bikes, TT bikes, and Mountain/ Hybrid
bikes with street specific tires. No
knobby tires will be allowed.
Notes: This
class includes a map with strategies and turn-by-turn notes, as well as
general sheets on cornering, hill climbing, and transitioning.
Recommended Other course:
While this course is instructive on
basic techniques you�re racing experience will be greatly enhanced by
taking any of the other clinics offered to further enhance your bike
handling skills. We strongly
recommend Cornering, bike handling, and transitions as additional classes
for Treasure Island.
We have conveniently scheduled above skills course around the TI clinics,
