Having Sara McLarty as my coach was the absolute BEST decision I've made as a triathlete. I couldn't have been better prepared for my first 70.3 race. My training is customized for me based on what I need to achieve my goals. I am amazed at how much my swim, bike, and run has improved since I started with SLAP. Thank you Sara!

Your Waste Triathlon Coach Questions Answered

Clermont is known as the "Choice of Champions" for good reason. Local coaches are intimately familiar with the area's unique training advantages, including the challenging hills for bike training, multiple open water swimming venues like Lake Minneola and Lake Louisa, and the National Training Center facilities. A local coach can also provide in-person technique analysis and join you for key training sessions, which is invaluable for proper form and faster improvement.

Most coaches in Clermont offer a mix of virtual and in-person coaching. Typically, you can expect 1-2 in-person sessions per month for technique analysis and skill development, plus optional group training sessions throughout the week. The exact frequency can be customized based on your coaching package and personal needs. Many coaches also offer race-day support at local events.

Clermont offers year-round training weather, rolling hills that mimic many race courses, multiple lakes for open water swimming, and a strong triathlon community. The area hosts numerous races and training events throughout the year, and the local infrastructure (including wide shoulders on roads and dedicated bike lanes) is very triathlon-friendly. Plus, the National Training Center and other world-class facilities are readily available for structured training.

While Clermont is famous for its hills, a good local coach will help you progressively build your skills and fitness to handle the terrain. They'll start you on appropriate routes and gradually introduce more challenging sections as you improve. Many beginners actually find that training in Clermont gives them a significant advantage in races, as they're better prepared for any course variations.

Look for coaches who are USA Triathlon certified and have experience coaching in the Clermont area. Local race experience is also valuable, as is familiarity with the unique training opportunities and challenges of the region. Many top coaches in Clermont also have additional certifications in swimming, cycling, or running, and maintain relationships with local training facilities and triathlon groups.
