Tri Training Classes for June 11-12

Saturday – Trek Beginner Class

Swim across the lake at 7am. Meet at the beach a little before 7:00; we’ll start the swim from the south end of the beach, near the green fence.

Note 1 – if you don’t feel confident swimming the half mile distance at this point, then you can either swim on your own at the beach or meet us about 8:00 for an abbreviated class at the beach.

Note 2 – if you want to swim longer, we’ll swim back across the lake once everyone has done the half mile swim.

We will reconvene in the gassy area around 8am for a short class.  Bring your swim and run gear.

Sunday – All Trek and Pleasant Prairie classes

Both Saturday and Sunday classes – Sunday is the Conquer the Open Water clinics with Pro Triathlete Lauren Jensen.

7:30 to 9:00am – Intermediate/Advanced session

9:00 – 9:30am – Fix a bike flat clinic – if you want to see how to do it, then stay a little after the Intermediate Clinic or come a bit before the beginner clinic.

9:30 to 11:00am – Beginner Clinic

Trek/Pleasant Prairie Tri Training classes, June 4-5

Reminder: starting this weekend, we will be meeting at the Lake Andrea beach, across the lake from the RecPlex, for the rest of the class sessions.  When you enter the beach, go to the left and we usually meet in the grassy area next to the fence.  Tell them at the window you are there for my class.

If there is bad weather, or if there is a problem at the beach, we will meet in the classroom at the RecPlex as usual. Again, please check the RecPlex Tri Training Blog for last minute info.

Saturday Trek Training Class

Sunday Pleasant Prairie & Trek Training Class

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).

No Biking today - Sunday 5/15

Does not look safe to be biking today.  We will do a workout inside.

Update on Sunday 5/15 Tri Training Class

Weather was not conducive to biking this morning, and since the weather is going to be about the same for Sunday morning, I will have a couple of alternatives available tomorrow morning, if anyone doesn’t feel comfortable or safe riding.  If needed, we’ll split the class up.

Forecast is for the rain to hold off until about 10am, but it will be in the 40s and windy (wind chill close to freezing).

Please make sure to bring swim gear tomorrow, since swimming may be an alternative to riding.

(Remember, you should bring swim and run gear to every class, regardless of workout scheduled, so we can modify things if necessary.)

Sunday 5/15 Trek/Pleasant Prairie Tri Training Class

REMINDER: BIKE RIDE FROM RECPLEX FOR THIS SUNDAY’S WORKOUT

Remember the change for this Sunday, the 15th – we are riding the Trek bike course, not running at UW-Parkside.

We will meet at 7:00 in the classroom.  Afterwards, we’ll meet at the south end of the RecPlex parking lot with bikes, and begin the ride no later than 7:45.

Trek/Pleasant Prairie Training classes for May 7-8

Saturday Class

• Meet in Blue/Yellow rooms at 7:30
• Come prepared to run
• At about 8:15 we’ll walk over to the beach pavilion for the 5K, which we will start after the participants have begun.
• I will lead a run/walk group for those interested.
• Plan on going the distance you feel you can handle at this point in the training; you don’t have to do the entire 5K.

Sunday Class

• Meet in the Blue/Yellow rooms at 7:00
• Come prepared for outside run.
• Note: if you want to meet on Saturday to run with the Saturday class, you can come to the Blue/Yellow rooms about 8:15 or meet us at the race. 

Two additional things:

1. We are running the 5K as a class workout and not as “the race.”  You will not get a number, an official time, a goody bag, or T-shirt.  If you want those, then you need to register for the race yourself.
2. Everyone must be formally registered for your class this weekend.  If you are not registered, you will NOT be allowed in the class.  If you register between now and your class, bring your receipt to class to confirm your registration.
