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.

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 🙂

Hutchings started the topic Sunday Group rides in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 4 years, 7 months ago
The Sunday Bike Ride with the Vertical Swimmer is back beginning May 19th. Tuan just posted on the general DC Tri forum, so look there for full details.
I have ridden with Tuan and his group as my schedule permits the last few years. A very friendly group, usually smaller than the Saturday ride. The lead riders are fast, I can’t keep up so I find…[Read more]

Hutchings replied to the topic Half Ironman On-Bike Nutrition in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 4 years, 8 months ago
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]

Hutchings replied to the topic Puerto Rico 70.3 in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 4 years, 8 months ago
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]

Hutchings replied to the topic watch recommendation? in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 4 years, 10 months ago
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]

Hutchings replied to the topic The President responds… in the forum Club Management 4 years, 10 months ago
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.

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]
