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.
