We hope all of you enjoyed the Holiday Season and have recovered from the Marathon.

It's that time of year again and we’re excited for this year's training and racing. Along with the “usual suspects” of coaches, we are happy to announce the addition of Donielle (of Peter’s RWS clinic fame) to our coaching staff.

Also of note, this year we’ll be mixing things up with workouts and weekend locations.

The schedule is as follows...

Location - Kaimana Beach
Start - 7:00 am
Cost - $550 Honu Tri.(18 wks), Honolulu Tri. $525 (16 wks)

The 1st day will be relaxed and all about getting (re)aquainted with each other and the current level of training or experience.

Be prepared to do all 3 sports - beginning with a nice swim, followed by some running stuff and We'll
