Dry-Athlon

Are you ready for the challenge?

This program is offered during the Spring and Fall sessions.


Triathlon season is still months away. But you’re getting
that competitive itch. Try the Y Dry-Tri.
The Dry-Athlon combines triathlon training with strength
and conditioning in a competition format that’s sure to make
you better prepared to compete this season. It’s also a great
starting point for aspiring tri athletes, and a training tool for
athletes of all seasons.

The formula is simple. It’s a 5k run on the treadmill, 12-mile
ride on a stationary bike, and bench press a percentage of your
weight for repetitions. We’ll use a percentage
of your body weight so everyone’s on a level playing field,
regardless of your size. (1/2 for men) (1/3 for women)Your time
on the run and bike get added together, then divide that time by your
number of reps on the bench. It’s all in the fitness center at a time
that’s convenient for you.

Just like the triathlons, we’ve got age groups, weight classes,
and trophies – even the free T-shirt. We’ll see who’s the
best-conditioned athlete, pound for pound.
Register at the front desk. We’ll call you to set up the time.

For more details or to make an appointment, see or call Kelly
in the Fitness Center at x28.
19125-23 Fee: $20
