Triathlons Not Just for Elite Athletes


CHANHASSEN, Minn. --(Business Wire)--

The mere thought of a triathlon may prompt many individuals to have visions of grueling, ultra distance events fit only for the most elite of athletes. Life Time - The Healthy Way of Life Companysm (NYSE: LTM) is challenging this thinking by inviting virtually anyone to 'try a tri' via its Life Time Indoor Tri series, which offers 64 events throughout 2014. The Life Time Indoor Tri events are conducted at 55 of the company's resort-like healthy way of life destinations across the country. Events are offered now through May and again in September through November.



The 2014 Life Time Indoor Tri series is open to individuals of all experience levels and serves as an ideal way to be introduced to the sport of triathlon in a fun environment. Unlike tradition outdoor triathlons that are measured by time to complete a set distance, the Life Time Indoor Triathlon is measured by distance covered in a set time. The Life Time Indoor Tri is a 60-minute format that involves a 10-minute swim in a lap pool, a 30-minute ride on an indoor cycle and a 20-minute run on a treadmill.

The Life Time Indoor Tri series events are scheduled in Atlanta; Austin, Texas; Birmingham, Ala.; Colorado Springs, Colo.; Columbus, Ohio; Dallas; Denver; Houston; Los Angeles; Las Vegas; Minneapolis and New York City metropolitan areas. Registration for each Life Time Indoor Tri is $30 for Life Time members and $35 for non-members.
