Tri Training Classes for Memorial Day Weekend


Yes, it’s Memorial Day weekend but we still train!

Saturday Class:

We are going to focus on transitions. Workout will be a ride of some or all of the Trek bike course, transition, and a 10-20 minute run.  Let’s meet briefly in the classroom at 7:30am, then we will reconvene at the south end of the RecPlex parking lot and leave for the bike ride no later than 8:00.

Please bring your cue sheet from last week.  We won’t be stopping this ride; you’ll ride the course at your own pace. Remember to bring water/sports drink, spare tube, tool kit, etc.

Sunday Class:

Brick + Transition practice.  This week we will ride the sprint portion of the Pleasant Prairie Triathlon course (since we did the Trek course last week, so everyone will have ridden “their” course).  Then transition, and run around the lake.  We’ll meet briefly in the classroom at 7:00am and reconvene at the south end of the RecPlex parking lot and be riding no later than 7:30.

Please review the PP sprint bike course in your training document from the first class.  Remember to bring water/sports drink, spare tube, tool kit, etc.

Also, be aware that there are boat races in Lake Andrea this weekend, so the park is liable to be more crowded than usual. Most of the boat people will be on the other side of the lake, but it is possible that part of the lakefront path will be closed over there.  If so, you might need to double-back on your run, but we should be done before most of the racing starts.

Finally, if you want tri shorts/top/bike jersey/run singlet, remember I need to place the order next Tuesday. Bring your order form and check this weekend, or put your order in online (http://3-fitness.com/shop/viewcategory.php?groupid=14).
