    Team Survivor Northwest Triathlon Training Program
Last year saw laughter, fun, some anxiety and triumph as the triathlon training team made its way through the summer to the Danskin and Trek Triathlons. We were blessed with good weather for both events and some folks participated in both! And of course, we couldn’t have done it without our coach, Kim Brasfield – whose enthusiasm, dedication and inspiration is without comparison.
Each year Team Survivor Northwest trains women to participate in summer spring triathlons. This fun and very positive program includes training women to swim .5 miles, cycle 12.4 miles, run 3.1 miles, and make efficient transitions. It may seem daunting to tackle a triathlon, but you can do it! All levels are welcome. We will help you improve your fitness level while teaching you useful triathlon skills. We'll provide you with a training schedule and answer your questions about triathlon races, equipment, and training. Let Team Survivor Northwest help you get in shape and prepare for your race while you enjoy the camaraderie and support of other survivors. Training is open to any woman with a past or present diagnosis of cancer at any fitness level and stage of recovery. You do not need to be entered into any specific triathlon to participate in training.
Many women will be training for two Seattle Triathlons: the Danskin Triathlon and the Trek Triathlon.
The Danskin Triathlon will be August 15. Registration opens on March 16. For more information: http://www.danskintriathlon.net/Seattle__WA.html
