Happy training for the week of 3/5.
Launch Party: What a great turnout we had for the 2012 CTC Launch Party last Thursday night at Fleet Feet. We picked up several new members and several renewals, and received lots of positive feedback about the event and the club. Thanks again to all who put so much time and effort into making the event happen, and thanks also to Fleet Feet for hosting. Pictures from the Launch Party have been posted to the Gallery page of the website.
Bidwell Classic: CTC was well represented at Saturday’s Bidwell Classic, our second club race of the year. Many raced, many volunteered, and some did both. Thanks to Jason B., Joanne G., Jim H., Mitch H., Shawn H., Elda M., Sean M., Forough M., Jennifer M., Jay P., Josh R., Lynn S., Laura V., Justin W., Tammie W., Isa W. (hope I didn’t miss anybody) for coming out and supporting the club and the Bidwell Classic. We had a lot of traffic at the pop-up and a lot of interest in the club. Great job everyone. Race results are posted here and pictures (thanks Laura and Jennifer) have been posted to the Gallery page of the website.
General Meeting: Our first general meeting of the year will take place on Saturday March 10, 2:00 PM upstairs at the Madison Bear Garden. Susan M. will present Tri 101 for the newbies, Coach Katie will present a 12 week training plan for novices hoping to tackle their first race, and Coach Sean will present an advanced 12 week training plan for more experienced athletes. All of this is to help prepare you for our first club triathlon of the year, Black Butte in June. Susan, Sean, Katie, and other veteran club members will also be available to answer any and all triathlon related questions.
Tri-Suits: We are very close to finalizing the order for this year's tri suits. Many of you have already completed an order form, but there is still time if you want to get in on this year's order. Fit samples will be available at North Rim in the next couple of days. An announcement will be made to the Yahoo group once that's in place. Please direct any questions about the tri suits to Sean M. (training@chicotraithlonclub.com).
Workouts: Daylight savings time begins this weekend and Thursday's track workout on 3/15 is the official start of the spring training schedule. Weekly workouts include Katie's fun run on Monday, Josh's Sicko Intervals on Tuesday, the Thursday track workout, Shawn's Friday ride, and the Saturday LSD run. Details are included on the Workout page of the website. All events are normally confirmed a day or two in advance on the Yahoo group.
