During the past couple of years, we’ve seen a huge<br />
increase in the number of <strong>Space</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Runners</strong>’<br />
members getting into multi-sport. As people continue<br />
to figure out the benefits of cross-training, we<br />
expect the numbers in our club who give multisport<br />
a try (or tri) to increase.<br />
THE TRI ANGLE section of our newsletter focuses<br />
on multisport and those accomplishments of our<br />
members. Please feel free to share with us your stories,<br />
experiences, photos, training groups and tips.<br />
