Hi Quentin, yes it was just posted that will be on Wed, Dec 14th. Kelly is checking whether we can go back to the Union Station Shake Shack as they had reduced their hours during the pandemic. We might have to run faster!

Welcome Danny! Don’t think we have a happy hour this month but if you are looking for a shallow race, you could look into Ft Ritchie and Rock Hall/Waterman’s. At Rock Hall/Waterman’s there’s a sand bar in the middle.

RunBikeDavid replied to the topic information on luray and culpepper olympic tri in the forum General Discussions 1 year, 1 month ago
If it’s any consideration, I think the swim is nicer at Luray as I remember Fort Ritchie having some shallow spots and grass. On the other hand, the run seemed less hilly at Fort Ritchie.

RunBikeDavid replied to the topic information on luray and culpepper olympic tri in the forum General Discussions 1 year, 1 month ago
Hi Susan, I’ve only ridden the Ft Ritchie sprint course but from what I can tell the olympic is very similar: a short but steep climb in the beginning, then a long descent, then a long climb on the same road towards the end. Elevation wise it seems roughly the same as Luray so it might depend on whether you like rolling hills or a long climb…[Read more]

Yes the Centennial Tri which I think has the same bike course as the old Columbia Tri (not the new Columbia Association Tri). We used to do the bike loop for the spring Bricknic when they were in Columbia.

RunBikeDavid replied to the topic information on luray and culpepper olympic tri in the forum General Discussions 1 year, 2 months ago
Hi Susan, I would say the Luray bike course is rolling. Some people consider it hilly but I didn’t think it was too bad, less hilly than Columbia Tri if you are familiar with that one. There is a hill at the start and finish but in between there’s a nice descent and then a false flat/gradual climb to go back up and do it again. The only steep hill…[Read more]

Oh no, sorry to hear! Try emailing gear@dctriclub.org. With NTP starting later this year, I think a lot of them weren’t able to get a club kit so maybe there is enough interest for a fall order.

Welcome Lucie! For open water swim practice, you could try checking out the Wave One weekly swims. Dennis the organizer and quite a few of the swimmers there are experienced in swimming in cold water and can probably give you tips. A tip that I recently learned with swimming in cold water is to put on 2 swim caps!
