Triathletes spend substantial time and money on cleaning and taking care of their bikes, running shoes, and swim gear. However, the most important equipment we should pay attention to is our bodies. Discover where you need to be tuned up in this eye-opening workshop. The Triathlete Tune Up workshop will reveal some musculoskeletal deficits that, if left neglected, will predictably result in injury and reduced performance in triathlon.
This workshop is one of many being offered at the Multisport World Conference and Expo at Georgetown Prep's Hanley Center for Athletic Excellence in North Bethesda, MD.
