Moms TRI

Santa Fe is sponsoring their first triathlon on July 19. The distances are the same as the Los Alamos Tri, but in run/bike/swim order – all based at the Chavez Community Center. Race start is at 6:30am. You can go here and download race info and registration forms. If anyone wants to do this, let me know and maybe we can stay down there the night before and split the cost of a room.

We won’t be able to use the pool as planned for our Saturday workout since the pool doesn’t open until 10am. Due to this, I’m changing the workout to a run/bike brick as a prep for the SF Tri transition. Meet at 6:30am at the pool, where we will rack our bikes and make our transition.

The first scheduled splash n dash event, sponsored by the county and the triatomics, will be held Wednesday, June 18 at 7:00pm. If you don’t feel ready to do the full distance (400 yd swim, 5K run), they also have a shorter distance (200 yd swim, 3K run) that you can do. I encourage everyone to participate, as it’s good practice for doing events back to back and getting a feel for the transition. I did this myself this morning, and it really wasn’t too bad.

There will be 2 other splash n dash events – July 2 and July 16.

I posted the workout schedule for June. I’m still not totally set on it, so let me know if you have any other ideas. You will notice that there are a couple of workouts that list 2 events – these are bricks. We will do 2 events back to back so we can practice transitioning and get the feel for it.

As always, there’s flexibility. If you want to do something different or in addition, post a comment. I may add in a long course swim or 2 if anyone is interested in coming with me early in the morning.

I haven’t made a workout schedule for June yet, as I’m just not sure yet what the plan is.  I went to the pool this morning with Caemlyn and swam long course, but I leave tomorrow morning and will be gone all week.  I encourage all of you to get to the pool at least one morning this week and swim long course, since that is what the triathlon is.  I’m also looking for input on a workout schedule for the rest of the month.  Post a comment with your input and I’ll get the schedule up sometime next weekend.

Nicole – feel free to post a comment with your schedule for the week if you’d like others to join you.  Of course, same goes for anyone else looking for company on any of their workouts.
