Kids ages 7-15 are invited to compete in the third annual Palisades Youth Triathlon on July 4. To prepare participants for the triathlon, voluntary clinics will be offered leading up to race day. Co-sponsored by the Palisades-Malibu YMCA and the non-profit USA Youth Triathlon, the event consists of a three-mile bike ride, a 1.1-mile run from the Pacific Palisades Library to the YMCA Pool in Temescal Canyon, and ends with a 150-yard swim. The race begins at 10 a.m. on July 4 in front of the library. Beginning one month before the event, training sessions will be offered by top triathlon coaches every Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Temescal Canyon pool. Participants will learn about performance techniques, improve their conditioning and stamina in all three sports, and prepare for the race. For more information, contact Deborah Hafford, USA Youth Triathlon (info@usayt.com) or Jim Kirtley at the Palisades-Malibu YMCA (454-5591). Registration is at www.usayt.com.
