Starting this Sunday Coach Matt Haugen will be running the first of his P2/NOW Tri Team winter training sessions! Come find your performance power!!!

What is this? This is the first step in the development of the P2 Performance/Power and NOW Bike Triathlon Team. These are coached long sessions with former USA Triathlon National Teams Coach Matt Haugen have been designed to keep you focused and interested as you build power and performance for the spring. 

When does it start? This amazing swim/bike workout begins on January 8, 2012 through April with a coached swim session  at the Oxford Community Pool from 8AM - 9AM then moving to NOW St. Paul for a 2-hour indoor bike coaching session in NOW's brand new indoor training room at 9:30AM. 

What do I need to ride at NOW? You'll need your bike, shorts, water bottle and a towel. Also, a trainer specific tire and quick-release skewer are REQUIRED for the use of any of NOW"s available trainer systems (Tacx OR CycleOPs Fluid).  If you don't have a trainer tire or skewer, these items can be purchased before classes start and installed by one of our helpful staff. Tires and skewers start at $49.95 and $14.95 respectively. Installation is $10.00.

How much are sessions? Sessions are broken up into several packages designed to give you the best possible workout. Swim and bike sessions are treated independently to allow riders who do not wish to swim to gain the same benefit from Matt's experience on the bike.

Swimming sessions are $10 for daily drop-ins or $30 for a 4-pack ($7.50 per swim)

Bike sessions are divided into two categories based on your training needs. These sessions utilize training by power (wattage output) or non-power.

For bike sessions utilizing your power numbers, drop-ins are $25 or 4-packs for $80 and riders will utilize the virtual Tacx trainers or NOW's PowerTap wheels.

For non-power based sessions, drop-ins are $20 or 4-pack for $60 and riders will use CycleOps Jet Fluid Pro trainers. Coach Haugen can help you decide which package is best for your training goals. Trainer tires and skewers are required for either coaching package.
