Coaching for week of August 2 - 8

Coaching duties this week will be shared by Hani for Monday night spin and Wednesday night chase group.

Jake will do Tuesday night track, and Thursday night strength.

Keith will lead the Wednesday morning ride.

The Tuesday morning combo and Thursday morning run will be group led.

Tim will be back in time for the Combo #2 workout on Saturday morning.

For the IM training group, this will be a 5hr plus ride followed by a 45-60 min run. Both of the courses will be out and backs.

For the 70.3 training group, it will be a 2.5hr ride, 30 min run, 1.5hr ride and 30 min run. This
workout will depart from Lake Almaden in the carpark on the opposite side of the lake to the traditional transition area for the Silicon Valley Tri.

You need to take Coleman Rd. to Winfield Blvd to access this side of the lake. We plan to leave the carpark at 8 am so please plan to be there by 7.45.

The ride will be on flat roads to simulate both AZ and Miami. There won't be a sag, so please bring spares and bring enough nutrition to support yourself on the ride. There will be places to refill your bottles at gas stations, etc.

Fall 2010 Training Camp in Palm Springs

The information for the Palm Springs Training Camp is posted and the camp will be as good as any that we have ever had in the past. Much of the expense of the camp is due to the meal option that Tim has selected for the team. This is good quality food with all you can eat breakfast and dinner buffets, in order to keep us well fueled for the almost 20 hours of workouts that will be packed into this trip.If you can make this camp, it will certainly have a pay off come race day.

We have secured a deal with TYR wetsuits, and their range will be available in the store for prices so low that we can't publish on the website. Check them out if you are looking for a suit. The Sugoi order has been placed and the clothing will be here next month. I will let you know when it arrives.
