Hi Andrew… sorry we didn’t reply to your post sooner. My understanding is that you’ll mostly be doing drills to help you learn the best form. Unless something has changed, there shouldn’t be any serious running!
Welcome aboard!

I’ll be at the Georgetown location tomorrow… First Sat. group ride in– 3-4 years! Just going to the BP gas station and back (~ 24 miles, I believe).

I wanted to share two things that I do to prepare for the swim portion of tri races… I’m not sure what others do or what Coach AJ might recommend, but this may help spark a little discussion!
After a couple of years of being frustrated at feeling really tired at the beginning of most race swims, I began to realize that a lot of this was related…[Read more]

I love your attitude, Barbara!
I accept your challenge… During my first Peasantman outing, I came in second-to-last… only beating a veteran who had been injured and was out of commission for about 30 minutes before finally rallying to finish the race!
While some members are racing for podium slots and most are hoping to improve from…[Read more]

Hello, potential Peasants!
While I like to go camping, that adventure doesn’t work well for me when I’m trying to train for or compete in triathlons! I’ve participated in 2-3 Peasantman weekends (and 1 Giant Acorn Oly) and I’ve usually stayed at the Lake Anna Lodge which is less than 5 miles from the state park entrance (approx. 6-7 minute…[Read more]

It was nice seeing so many people at the Monday meeting!
If you felt a little overwhelmed, that’s normal. Just try to focus on 1 or 2 things to start nibbling on. Don’t try to learn and do everything at once!! You can layer in a new thing every week. (It might help to remind yourself to refer back to the Athlete’s Guide once each week to fo…[Read more]

It was nice seeing so many people at last night’s meeting… and getting to talk to some of you afterwards!
I hope most of you didn’t feel too overwhelmed as we covered a TON of material… it reminded me of the dreaded first-day of any class where the teachers used to highlight all the reading & exams & papers we’d have to do and I would start…[Read more]
