Hi all,

Is anyone doing the Kinetic tri at Lake Anna on May 7th? If so it would be great to carpool. It will be my first race since the before times and I could use some moral support/accountability in getting back out there.

Thanks,

Julia

All, happy to report that my virtual race went well and I finished with a time of 6 hours 27 minutes. This is very similar to my time when I raced this course two years ago with little training but real transitions and course support (and ending up in the medical tent), so I count it as a big success. A few things to note for others considering a…[Read more]

Thanks, Romain and AJ! This is all very helpful information and has given me a lot to think about. I’m going to go over my race and nutrition plans again on Saturday before I “race” on Sunday – I think I have been so focused on the strange parts of racing virtually that I haven’t fully thought through the details of translating my training…[Read more]

Hi all,

Did anyone stick with the training plan as scheduled and complete a virtual tri this weekend? Or do a shorter virtual tri in the middle of socially distant training? I’m planning to do the full half iron distance by myself in two weeks, when my goal race would have been, and I would love to hear any tips or thoughts. I have been following…[Read more]

Julia Follick replied to the topic 2020 Kits and Partner Codes in the forum General Discussions 3 years, 2 months ago

I’m also wondering if the 2020 partner codes are coming soon. Particularly for the partner race entries – if there is any way to get those codes up before race prices go up on February 1, it would be much appreciated and would help to save a lot of money! Not too much benefit to getting a club discount on an increased price.

Thanks!

Selling the bike that got me into biking and triathlons – perfect for a new triathlete! It is a 2013 Giant Avail 1 (details on the 2014 model available here: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/avail-1-2014), lovingly maintained and regularly serviced by the sadly now defunct Bike Rack on Q Street. Comes with many nice features for your first “real…[Read more]

Julia Follick started the topic Biking Heart Rate in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 3 years, 11 months ago

Hi all,

I have been enjoying biking outside now that the weather has been nicer, but I’m realizing that it is much harder to get my heart rate up outside on the road than inside on the trainer. I struggle to stay in zone 2 on the long rides, since every time I hit a stop sign or a downhill or a tight curve my pedaling slows or stops and my heart…[Read more]

Julia Follick replied to the topic Peasantman Finalized Schedule in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 3 years, 11 months ago

I’m looking forward to doing the Olympic race on Sunday, and to all the fun on Saturday! Sounds like it’s going to be a good weekend. By the way, the cabins filled up so now I’m staying at Lake Anna Lodge – is anyone else staying outside the park? Are others going to the packet pick up happy hour on Tuesday? See you there! -Julia

Julia Follick started the topic Ride to Peasantman in the forum General Discussions 3 years, 11 months ago

Hi all,

Does anyone have an extra seat with room for bike going to Peasantman next weekend? Ideally someone staying outside the park, as I plan to stay at Lake Anna Lodge. If this is you, please email me at julia.follick@gmail.com. I’m flexible about going down Friday night or Saturday morning, and happy to pay for gas, parking, lunch, etc. As a…[Read more]

Julia Follick replied to the topic Peasantman Accommodations in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 4 years, 1 month ago

Hi all,

I’m looking to share a cabin for this weekend. It looks like there are 2 cabins still available with 2 bunk beds each. There is a two night minimum but it’s only $47/night for 4 people, so likely still worthwhile even if you come down on Saturday morning (which I may still do). Let me know if you’re interested so we can book before they…[Read more]

Hi All,

I’m looking forward to Duathlon #1 next Saturday, but I don’t have a car and so I need a ride out to VA. Coming from Mt. Vernon Square but happy to meet you at a mutually convenient location in the District. Please message me if you’re driving!

Thanks,

Julia
