Experience Triathlon is proud to announce their 2018-2019 CompuTrainer Winter I Session, lasting 11 weeks due to a few holiday dates, with rides ranging in length from 60-120 minutes, packed full with content to train every physiological system a rider needs to take their ride to the next level. Each class is personally coached, and with a small class size, there is plenty of interaction time amongst riders and coach. For those looking to ride “solo”, just bring along a pair of earbuds, and allow yourself to have the ride unfold before you while you go into your own mind.
Instant feedback on a rider’s effort allows one to adjust their pedal stroke mechanics and muscular engagement to make the most of their training. Seeing data of other riders gives the extra added incentive to never give up, and keep pushing harder. No matter a cyclist’s riding ability, this program WILL help them improve their cycling fitness while becoming more mindful of their pedaling efficiency.
Short Ride Courses: ET will offer two separate short course rides, changing mid-week, for those looking to ride twice and wanting different content. Monday through Wednesday will offer one ride, while Thursday through Sunday will offer a second ride. These rides will last in duration from 60-80 minutes in length, and will focus on training an athlete’s engine, from anaerobic intervals to VO2max work, to Functional Threshold stabilization. Plenty of recovery time will be incorporated to these workouts to allow for the best workout possible.
Long Ride Courses: We will be incorporating the use of Quadrant Pedaling, along with mindful training of one’s energy expenditure while riding for upwards of 2+-hours per class. There will be a mix of flat courses with specific energy system focuses, along with plenty of hilly course rides, including the local favorite of Ironman Wisconsin, for riders to practice riding with instant performance feedback and the company of others to motivate and push oneself. These will also be coached courses, allowing for interaction as riders need it.
Once a ride is done, enjoy some stretch and relax time in ET’s Stretch and Rest lounge, complete with foam rollers, yoga mats, and coffee!

Read moreQuick ViewCycling 101 – Basic formwork and Pedal Stroke concepts – December 9th
$45.00Cycling can be as basic as simply pushing your pedals down to move your bike forward, but what if you could use your body and core to efficiently propel your bike forward? What if you could efficiently pedal with the hips and legs so that every pedal stroke became purposeful? What if the pedal stroke was broken down so that every portion of the stroke made the bike move quicker, enabling the cyclist to become more efficient and more powerful?

Read moreQuick ViewCycling 102 – Understanding your Gears and how to make them work for you
$40.00DATE: Saturday 12/22/18
Our bike’s gears are one of the most important components on our bicycles in terms of helping us ride efficiently and strategically. Using them should feel as natural as breathing, with shifting becoming second nature in response to the slightest changes in grade and wind.
However, as intimidating as this may sound, it need not be! Our gears make use of simple math equations, and using them makes use of our science and artistic minds….but understanding what goes into this makes it so that we do this automatically while riding. This is HUGE! It CAN be the difference between being on the podium, or not! (And it can be the difference between a well-played hilly or windy bike ride, or one that leaves your legs dead for the run.)
This NEW clinic will have participants looking closely at THEIR bike(s)’ gears, going through some math equations (please do NOT let this scare you off, however! We will help you with this!) to know what their different gears allow them to do, and then putting bikes on our CompuTrainer machines to test out HOW to shift on hilly terrain, smartly.
There may be no better or more practical “instruction-to-actual-performance” lessons out there to learn when it comes to cycling. This class is designed for ALL cyclists, regardless of your current knowledge or understanding of your bike, and regardless of what your own personal ability level or experience level is!

Read moreQuick ViewET Swim 201: Swimming With Purposeful Power – Part 1
$30.00Sunday January 6, 2019
“Swim harder.” “Swim faster.” “Reduce your number of strokes per length.” “Increase your distance-per-stroke.” These are all phrases that swimmers have inevitably heard at some point during a workout or swim set. But what do each of them MEAN? How does one actually become a STRONGER SWIMMER, with full intention of HOW they are producing power in the water?
Much too often, swimmers make themselves WORK HARDER, but they don’t actually improve what matters most—having an efficient stroke with total purpose. There is a very elusive element to freestyle swimming, an element that is difficult to capture and own…it is the element of truly FEELING the water, and recognizing your personal “purchase” on the water so that you can do as much with one arm stroke as possible.
This swim clinic is one that puts away clocks, watches, and timed intervals. Instead, it will focus on a very simple step-by-step progression of the mechanics of an efficient stroke, with an emphasis on the catch. All distracting elements will be removed, allowing swimmers to isolate out very miniscule muscle movements, so that they can truly find resonation between these muscle movements, their core, and physical skin contact with the water. Join Coach Kurt Woodward as he takes you through an exciting approach to understanding our ability to move through the water with more efficiency.
Part 1 (ET Swim 201) of this clinic will focus on the early vertical forearm during the catch phase.
Part 2 (ET Swim 202) of this clinic (offered at a later date, with a separate sign up) will be a continuation of the catch, with an introduction to breathing along with head position and balance while breathing.
***PARTICIPANTS MUST BE EXPERIENCED FREESTYLE SWIMMERS. This is NOT designed to teach participants HOW to swim (see ET Swim 101 – Learn to Swim), but rather to help experienced swimmers become more efficient and economical!
Cost: $30

Time: 9:30am

Their question… “Have you met a fitness person who changed your life? We’re looking for women who met someone significant in their lives through a fitness activity or sport.” This made me think about my first triathlon. I wanted to do one, but could not swim. A friend suggested I get a coach. That’s when I found the amazing, Coach Joe LoPresto. I would not have been able to do this without his kind heart, patience, and coaching. The triathlon event was the scariest and most fun I’ve had. I didn’t have anyone waiting at the end of the tri for me, but as I leaving, there was Coach Joe and his heart warming hugs.
