(9-30-09) From Press Release - SpeedSHOT Racing & Coaching Services and the Multnomah Athletic Club are proud to welcome Gold Medalist and 4-TIME OLYMPIAN Sheila Taormina to Portland, Oregon on the 17th of October. Sheila will headline a two-part event that will include a 2-hour swim clinic followed by a 1-hour presentation with ample opportunity for question and answer. Sheila brings her wealth of knowledge and experience to Portland to share what it took to succeed at the Olympic-level for triathlon and swimming.
The swim clinic, held from 1:00-3:00pm, will give local triathletes and swimmers the chance to learn skills and training techniques that Sheila used in preparation for her Gold Medal in the 1996 Olympics and her competitions in the first two Olympic Triathlons (in 2000 and 2004). The clinic will provide participants the opportunity to learn and practice drills and techniques, both on the deck and in the water, under the watchful eyes of Sheila and SpeedSHOT Racing Head Coach Mark Kendall. The swim clinic will be available to the first 25 people on a first-come basis and the cost is $20 (to be paid on site). Proceeds from the clinic will be donated to the Multnomah Athletic Foundation and used to support local youth athletes in their sport participation.
After the swim clinic, from 3:30pm-4:30pm, Sheila will discuss her experiences in training for her four Olympics. She will reveal tips that she learned competing at the pinnacle of the sport of triathlon and as a pioneer in that sport. The presentation is free and open to the public. However an RSVP is required to reserve your space and guarantee entry to the Multnomah Athletic Club.
