I need more details...How does the Virtual Tri really work?
- It’s free or we are asking for donations to Karen’s Trail [Border to Border Trail] to help finish the stretch from Dexter to Ann Arbor.
- Workouts are at your pace and at any location: indoors or outdoors, in the US or outside the US, real world or virtual world.
- All swimming, biking, running counts!
- Upload workouts to Strava using any device OR upload a manual workout if you aren’t using them [it’s the honor system...keep track]. Look for kudos & support from your teammates on Strava.
