TriFactor Colours on Mt. Evans

Mike Bland - TriFactor Alum -
"Just thought you might like to see the TriFactor colors at the top of Mt Evans, in Colorado.   Biked up to 14,270 ft today and had to bring out the jacket to keep warm up there.  I will be wearing it over 14,000 ft on the Pike's Peak route tomorrow as well......assuming the weather is favorable."

TriFactorite to the Worlds!

TriFactor's own Dawn Huck qualifies for the 2014 World Age Group Triathlon Championships.  Dawn had a strong race which placed her first in her age group at the recent St. Malo triathlon.  Congrats to Dawn for qualifying for Worlds next year in Edmonton! 

TriFactor Summer Update

TRIFACTOR SUMMER 2013

We’re now into racing season! With all the tapering, racing, recovery, training - and holidaying - it’s a looser schedule than in previous months. Still, we like to continue with group workouts as much as possible.

**If you’re new to tri, come and meet us for a ride, run or swim. Please give us a heads up so we can expect you (or let you know ride details). Summer is a great, casual time to try out the sport - without worrying about formally joining a club – just get out and tri it out!

Rides

Weekday evening ride: Tuesdays – this has been a workout night all year – or Thurdays. Usual meet spot is nest to the Shell station on Robin at Dale, just before the perimeter. Usual meet time is 6:30. Usual distance is to the St. Francis Xavier general store and back.

Weekend longer ride: Saturday mornings, usually starting at 9 or earlier. There are many distances being trained for – we often ‘jump in’ with another club mate who has a longer distance. Common routes are in and around Birds Hill Park, out past St. FX/return, to Sanford/return, River Road/Selkirk route.

Runs

Wednesdays at Grant Park Track, 6:30 am

Weekend longer run: Sunday mornings. This run usually takes place around the Assiniboine Park area, starting at 9 or earlier.

Swims

Tri MB swims are still taking place Monday and Wednesday evenings at 8 -9:30. Cost is $8, paid on deck (or purchase a multi visit card). All welcome.

Open water swimming in your wetsuit is recommended. As a group we get out to various open water bodies, often riding/running as well.

Fun

We’re always having fun - please see our social activities listing.

LOOKING AHEAD

Trifactor 2014 membership is $175. This is due by Jan 31, 2014. Payment can be made in October when the indoor season begins, which means the several extra Saturday workouts are free!

Fall 3013 Our indoor season training is projected to begin in late Oct, where we had 10 weeks of Saturday morning indoor training before the end of the year.

Saturday Mornings: Cindy Klassen Rec Centre

7:30-8:30 am swim

Outside this Saturday!

No joke. We're outside Saturday @ Birds Hill Park (BHP). Start time is 10 am. Get there early with time to gear up. We still have the swim time as usual (7:30 AM @ Cindy Klassen) which will give enough time to get to BHP.  Make sure you have tubes, air and variety of clothes and food. 

Meet place is same as last year. Take north drive to the small lot just past Nimowin rd. 

Hypo-Half

Congrats to those team members who ran the 2013 Hypothermic Half-Marathon.  Special recognition to John Powers for finishing 2nd Overall.

Swim Stroke Video Analysis

TriFactor will be offering a Swim Stroke Video Analysis session for club members on Saturday, February 16th @ Cindy Klassen Recreation Centre.  For anyone wanting to see their stroke and get some tips, we'll be shooting from 7:30 - 8:00 AM in the pool, and then we'll go over the video after the bike workout.  Please let us know if you want to participate.
