Lake Andrea Running Path

The Lake Andrea running path has been re-routed around the pool construction. It now goes around the IcePlex/RecPlex buildings, out to Terwall Terrace. If running on the path, please use caution on the road, since that section is used for the Day Camp drop-off and pick-up.

The closed section is not part of the Trek or Danskin Triathlon run courses.

Training Classes for June 20-21

No classes on Saturday, June 20 due to the Tri Prep Camp. Optional workout at the lake on Sunday, June 21 at 7:00am for all classes.

• If you are nervous about your open water swim, you can just work on that Sunday morning. I would like you to swim 3 or 4 laps (ideally 4) as continuously as possible. If you need to rest, come into the shallows for a bit – similar to how you can hang onto a lifeguard platform and rest during the race. But get back out swimming as soon as you can.


• For others, I would like for you to bring all your gear and do a race simulation. Start with a 3 or 4 lap swim, then transition (at race speed, no lollygagging) to the bike and ride one or two laps around the park, then transition to the run – down to the boat ramp and back or around the lake.

I-94 Closures & getting to the RecPlex

Important note if you are coming to the RecPlex from the north: the I-94 southbound exit ramp to Hwy 165 will close on June 15 for 4-5 weeks. You will have to exit at Hwy C WESTBOUND (the exit before Hwy 165) and continuing traveling south on the West Frontage Road to Hwy 165. Please add some extra time when coming to classes.

The EASTBOUND Hwy C exit and the EAST Frontage Road are closed -- remember, you need to use the WESTBOUND exit.

This closure may still be in place for the Trek Triathlon weekend.

Classes for the weekend of June 13-14

Just a reminder that this weekend all classes will attend the Open Water Swim Clinics with Pro Triathlete Lauren Jensen on Sunday.

Sunday’s Intermediate Class should attend 7:00-8:30am. Saturday’s classes (both) should attend the session you signed up for, or which you told me. The times at 9:00-10:30am and 11:00am-12:30pm. If you didn’t indicate a session, then you should plan to attend the 11:00am-12:30pm session.

There will not be formal classes on Saturday. However, for all class participants, we will have an optional bike ride of the Trek course on Saturday morning. We will meet at the south end of the RecPlex parking lot (near the “Baby U” building, where we’ve met previously for class rides) at 7:30 and start riding no later than 7:45. While I’ll ride last as sweeper, this will not be a guided ride so please make sure you either know the route or bring your cue sheet with you.
