Two Women-only Triathlons & Duathlon Set for Calgary, Alberta

January 19, 2015 By Bonnie Parrish-Kell

Just like Bree, pictured here, you can train for and participate in a triathlon. It’s an empowering experience!

If you’d like a Canadian racecation (a vacation planned around a specific race in a particular destination) to do your first triathlon or just have fun, then check out Leaping Dog Racing, based in Calgary, Alberta. The company is producing two short-distance triathlons in smaller communities where roads have less traffic. Beginner bicyclists will appreciate that!

If you live in the Calgary area or will be in town on Feb. 1, then you’ll want to attend their Beginner Triathlon Seminar from 6 – 8:15 p.m. at the Tri It Store, 2640 Parkdale Blvd. NW, Calgary. The seminar will cover the basics including training, equipment and gear, the stages of a race, and terminology such as “transitions” and “bike fit.” Every attendee will receive an information folder and chances to win draw prizes. The cost is $25 (Canadian) cash at the door. Because space is limited, register via email to deanne@leapingdogracing.com. Put “Feb. 1 Seminar” in the subject line.
