Bryan, you know I am a regular on the Saturday ride but I am seeing low 40’s Saturday morning so my trainer is looking very attractive and warm this week.

Club Member of the Year – Kyoko Kawai. Kyoko is very generous with her time and energy for the Club. She resumed and leads NoVA track, is the Coach for NTP and coordinates the NoVA community group. She is always coming up with new ideas and engaging members.

Antonio’s is another strong recommendation. Have a good race!

And I will also be rolling tomorrow for a nice taper lap 🙂

I have 4+ hrs this Saturday and happy to join you…not sure I can keep up with you unless it is all downhill.

Hi, my name is Cindy Hutchings and I am happy to kick off the nomination process. I am currently on the Board as the Director of Programs and would love to continue in that role. I have been a member of the DC Tri Club since 2010 and an active programs volunteer for 8 years. In pre-Covid times, I was a regular on the Saturday morning bike rides…[Read more]

The Club is already on it with Training Peaks! We discussed the same scenario at this month’s Board meeting on Monday. The TrainingPeaks coordinator from the Club has it on his to-do list for this week.

This are very unusual times, thank goodness we have an exercise outlet 🙂

Rookie – Jules Bilowich, wins a clock first race

Veteran – John Chambers, just shows up and goes at any distance

Veteran – Courtney Benedict, KONA!!! After 10 years of trying

I will start since I just did PR. On the bike, I used Honey Stinger gels every 40 minutes, starting with non-caffeine for the first 2 and caffeinated for the last 2. Since it was hot and the run was going to be brutally hot, I also took a SaltStick tablet in between the gels (ie 20 minutes after a gel). For fluids I used Osmo and carried a bottle…[Read more]

I am more than happy to share my lessons learned!  Ideally you want to train in the conditions that you will be racing.  Since I live in DC, none of that was an option.  No heat acclimation, no open water swims, no outdoor riding but I did run outside 🙂  Also there are some things that you just can’t plan on, like getting a nasty cold a few day…[Read more]

Chain Bridge Road in Palisades – 1 mile long of torture

I have the Garmin Forerunner 735XT and have been very happy.  I switched from the Garmin Forerunner 920XT a few years ago because of the built-in HR sensor (no more HR straps cutting into my skin) and the smaller profile watch face. I use the watch for my run training and triathlon racing. I don’t use for my bike training since my bike computer…[Read more]

As someone also in the 55+ age group and a member with the club ~10 years, I also was hesitant to participate in club activities initially.  I joined the club for the discounts which more than covered my membership cost.  Everyone was younger and faster.  I was passed so many times on River Rd, there was no way I was joining the Saturday ride. Bu…[Read more]

Absolutely!

Mike,

I did Alcatraz this year and it is an epic race.  It didn’t hurt that we had beautiful weather.  Briefly, here is some information and I am happy to provide deeper detail, especially if you decide to race it.

Swim – the temperature was a non-issue by race day, which was my 3rd time in the water.  I jumped in briefly on the day we ar…[Read more]

Summer!  We can switch with standard time as we have in the past.
