Multisport Club
Genesis Multisport strives to provide a productive training environment for all levels of competitors, from the true first-timer to the seasoned Ironman. We welcome those of all abilities and strive to empower all to reach their personal goals. The camaraderie and spirit of group training motivates all to be faithful to their workout plans. Multisport members can attend east and west side workouts.
Multisport Academy
For 2009, the club will offer four 12-week classes, each of which will target a specific race.
TRI 101
Spring Migration Triathlon (Emporia, KS)
January 24 - April 19 (approximate date)
This class targets the triathlete who is still getting his or her feet wet. Our experienced coaches will teach you to swim, bike, and run efficiently and set you up on a training program that will prepare you for this 400 meter swim, 20 km bike, and 5 km run. Each week's workouts will include a 1-hour swim clinic and a 2-hour clinic on topics such as proper run form, nutrition for training and weight loss, and strength training for triathletes. Minimum enrollment for this class is 5 people, and cost is $180 for the 12-week program ($240 for athletes who are not Genesis members).
TRI 201
Midwest Meltdown Triathlon (Paola, KS)
June 14 - September 6 (training plan begins May 17)
TRI 201 will prepare you for a longer-distance triathlon, and will be appropriate both for triathletes who have completed TRI 101 and those who have raced in previous years. The distances for this race are 1500 meter swim, 17.14 mile bike, and 5.77 mile run; this is roughly equivalent to the Olympic distance triathlon. There will be a swim clinic/workout each week, and on weekends there will be either a clinic on more advanced topics (i.e. open water swimming, bike handling skills, race day nutrition) or a long, group workout. In addition, each participant will receive a 16-week training program that will include workouts to be completed independently or in small groups. Minimum enrollment for this class is 7 people, and cost is $180 for the 16-week training program ($240 for athletes who are not Genesis members).
TRI 301
Lawrence Ironman 70.3 (Lawrence, KS)
March 22 - June 14 (training plan begins January 25)
For advanced triathletes, Genesis Multisport will offer a program for aspiring half-Ironmen. The 20-week training plan will prepare you for a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run. Beginning March 22, each week will have a 1-hour advanced swim clinic/workout and either a clinic on advanced topics (i.e. time trial cycling, transitions, race day strategy) or a long workout. Minimum enrollment for this class is 5 people, and cost is $180 for the 20-week training program ($240 for athletes who are not Genesis members).
DU 101
Mudwater Duathlon (Wichita, KS)
April 26 - July 19
For those who want to take on the challenge of a duathlon, this class will prepare you to run 5 km (3.1 miles), bike 30 km (18.75 miles), then run another 5 km. The schedule will include a weekly coached track workout, long weekend workouts, and clinics on important topics such as transition, heart rate training, and strength and flexibility. Minimum enrollment for this class is 5 people, and cost is $180 for the 12-week training program ($240 for athletes who are not Genesis members).
