Triathlon Injuries 101


 



The triathlete often demands more of their body than it is capable of providing. The three most common injuries a triathlete suffers from are Achilles Tendinitis, Chondromalacia Patella, and Swimmers Shoulder.

Find out why these conditions occur, how to reduce your risk, and options for treatment. 

Thursday October 1st 7-9pm at the Talisman Centre in the Learning Room.

Please reserve your spot by contacting Jack VanDyk at jvandyk@talismancentre.com.


 

This presentation will be provided by Dr. Christopher Anderson, a sports chiropractor from the Lindsay Park Sports Medicine Centre.  Chris works with professional and recreational athletes with a focus on sports injury and performance enhancement.  He uses Active Release Technique, Graston Technique, Contemporary Medical Acupuncture in addition to chiropractic joint manipulation. He is the treating chiropractor for the Alberta Ballet.

NEW! Drop-In Training Sessions for Triathlon Club Members


 

Due to limited enrollment in the Wednesday 12-1pm swim and the Thursday evening 7-9pm swim and run training sessions, we will be running these as drop-in sessions for all club members.

It will be first come first served for both swim sessions and limited to 12 people in total.

We have the running track booked at 8:15-9pm so really no restrictions in terms of numbers.

I hope members will come out to these sessions as there will be workouts posted for each session.

Coaches are also encouraged to train during these times space permitting.

For further information please contact myself at jvandyk@talismancentre.com.

Group Ride



Well it looks like we have a bit of an Indian Summer happening in Calgary. This means it is a great time to get out and enjoy the outdoors before the colder weather comes back.

So I would like to get a group ride going for Sunday September 20th starting 10am from the Signal Hill parking lot - in and around the Indigo Bookstore.

The route will head out along HWY 8 to Bragg Creek, stop in for a quick coffee and cinnamon bun and then a leisurely ride back.

Note, this is meant to be an EASY social ride so everyone is welcome.

Please post your interest and invite others you feel may enjoy the ride.
