Multisport Team
The Multisport WILD team is for novice and experienced women who want to train for and complete their first triathlon or who want to perfect their ability in a sprint or international (Olympic) distance triathlon. There is room on this team for women who are interested in a relay option, duathlon option and an aquabike option. This team will train from March to August 2010.

(This race is the Rattlesnake Triathlon on August 14: International Distance and August 15: Sprint Distance. http://www.rattlesnaketri.com/)
