Wasa Lake

Well it is that time of year when I need to get a idea for how many people are in need of group accomidation for Wasa Lake. Last year about 16 people took advantage of some great pricing and unbeateable accomidation in Kimberley. In order to get things booked I will need gauge interest by the 19th of February. Last year the condos were around $125.00 per night with a kitchen and 3-4 queen beds.

Please note that Wasa Lake is over 50% sold out, this race sells out earlier and ealier every year. Take advantage of the early bird rates (before march 31st). Last year we had a great group presnse, we arrived on Friday evening and had a light bike and swim on Saturday before picking up our race packages and a mellow movie night on Saturday.

Please let me know if you are interested in group accomidations for Friday (june 11) and Saturday (june 12) night.

Spring Training Programs

Greetings everyone. I hope everyone's training is on track and progressing in the direction you have set out for yourself this year. I will begin taking registrations for the Spring session the week of February 22nd 2010. The course list is below for your review.

Triathlon Club Group Brick

The ability to run after the cycling portion of a triathlon is a key element to having a successful day. This group training session is designed to help build your aerobic base and your ability to quickly run comfortably off the bike. As we get closer to the racing season, workouts become more specific to the pacing demands of the upcoming events. Note that the first 4 weeks will be on the Cycle-Ops spin bikes but starting May 5th we move to the Tacx trainers and you bring your bike to train on.

Course number (34595) Apr 7 – June 30 Wednesday 6:30pm-8:30pm - 13 sessions. Cost: $179

Course number (34596) Apr 7 – June 30 Monday 7pm-9pm - 11 sessions. Cost: $152

The Spring Triathlon Club Swim course shifts the focus to improving swim-specific fitness through more intensive interval sets and building endurance to swim more distance per interval. Racing season is around the corner and our goal is to help you be ready.

Triathlon Club IronBrick

For those looking to improve their overall endurance, fatigue resistance or preparing for triathlon events from Olympic distance to the full Ironman this motivating group session will ensure you are fit by the start of the season. Training sessions will be constantly varied and designed to push each athlete. You will require your own bike for these sessions as they will be conducted on our ergotrainers. Note that this is only a 4 week program. We plan on doing a group drop-in cycling session outdoors once the weather gets better.

Course number (34605) Apr 10 – May 1 Saturday 9am-12pm - 4 sessions. Cost: $95

Triathlon Club Ironswim

Build your distance swimming ability through these 90min sessions. This is not just for the Iron-athlete as Olympic distance swimmers can see big improvements in their swimming by completing more meters per training session and per week. A great low impact way in which to boost your overall training volume while under the guidance and support of our coaches. We will be hosting several outdoor swims during the summer months once the lakes warm-up as well.

Course number (34598) Apr 6 – June 29 Tuesday 7:30pm-9pm - 13 sessions. Cost: $179
