Competition Gear

Hi all! Yesterday, a few of us briefly discussed getting group ts or tanks, and I mentioned the same to Korie at the Y this morning. The basic idea, I believe, is a dri-fit type material with a very simple design (maybe the date / name of the event and the name of our team) that we would all wear day of after the swim (and could order for our supporters, even). Korie suggested something noticeable, maybe orange. What do people think? My cousin's "got a guy" for shirts and can do bulk order & silk screen it all for us. I am willing to check elsewhere, too, and get back to people on pricing. I'm guessing under $20 from my brief on-line search.

Also, anyone up for Saturday morning training?

Memorial Day Weekend ride?

Hi friends--
Anyone around and up for a bike ride (or ride and run) this weekend? I was thinking about Sunday morning for sure and maybe Monday, too. Hope you are all well and enjoying the rain (ha!)

TRI CLINIC

Just curious if anyone made
it to the Penn Cycle Tri Clinic
this past Saturday. If so, it
would be great to get a few tips
and info. Also, anyone interested
in going to see a Tri before
we actually do ours? I think it
would do alot to calm my nerves
if I hung out at the transion
site to see what actually goes on.

Bike Ride Tomorrow?

Is everybody having breakfast in bed or should we go for a bike ride?
Maybe tomorrow is a good day to go to brunch after ?
I wouldn't mind riding Nokomis and the route again.

Tri-Clinic on May 19th

I saw this posted at the YWCA. Is anyone interested in going? And then possibly going to a "gear" store afterwards?

Duey will answer all your questions to help put your minds at ease going into your first triathlon. Also, bring your bikes, helmets, and gear and join us for a bike ride after the clinic.

Target Like Bike $49.99

I saw a Target version of the like bike yesterday for $49.99 in the same aisle as the bubbles.

Sunday Ride - 8:15 Meet, 8:30 Start.

On Sunday, provided no hail or lightening, I am going to ride the tri-course (or a portion thereof). If you'd like to join me, meet by the park on the North side of Lake Nakomis (not at the beach). I want to get started on the ride by 8:30, so lets start gathering by 8:15.

I am definitely game for coffee or a cocktail when we finish.

Training this weekend

So the weather is looking iffy. I had heard Sat am was better
than sunday am, but what is the latest?
A couple of options...
Sally mentioned we could meet up at her house(near Lake Nokomis)
and park cars and cycle the bike portion of the tri. I am thinking we said
Sat am was better.

if the weather is bad, what if we did a short course tri indoor at the y?
Swim, bike & run on the machines? I am thinking with guest passes
we could get everybody who wanted to participate in the door. I go this idea from Sally too!
She got in to an event at the YMCA last minute and competed last weekend.
I think she told me she smoked everyone, right Sally?

Thoughts?
