Frederick Triathlon Club in Frederick, Maryland

Hey club!  Mike Matney and I found these at one of our events this past season and these look like a great way to get an edge up on the competition before that first race.  They’re not too far away and the cost is reasonable in my opinion for what you get.  Lodging isn’t included, though, which could be a bit of a problem.  Still, a way to learn about what you’re doing right, wrong, and ways to improve.  Check them out!

I added a link to a pretty nifty race pace calculator.  Check it out in the “Triathlete Resource” page.

Looking to shed a bit of too much holiday cheer?  Well, join club prez Hank for a Christmas Day ride on route 26, starting around noon from his house.  From Hank:

“As long as the weather holds, we will be meeting at my house (1649 coopers way, in dearbought) for a Christmas Day ride on Tuesday at noon.  Please let me know if you will be joining us, so that we know who to expect and, if need be, wait for.  It should be decent weather.  Please also check your email as we get closer to the ride in case the weather changes.”

Meeting Day Change:  From now on, we will be meeting on the second Wednesday of every month.  This will help some of our members be able to come to more meetings.

Last Friday’s email (12/21/07) from Hank was the last mass email to the club for announcements.  This web site will be used for future announcements, messages, meeting notices, etc.

From the club prez, Hank:

Wednesday, January 9th will be our next meeting. 

First, Julie LaFee from Team In Training will be giving a brief talk about the programs TNT is offering this year.  She will stick around for anyone who is interested.

 

Eva Rosvold, owner and operator of Fundamental Fitness, one of our potential new sponsors, will be coming in to talk to us about V02 Max testing and other fitness testing.  I think this will be a really neat talk and help us all understand our caloric needs and metabolic conditioning.  As always the meeting will be at 7pm.  We’ll be meeting at Bike Doctor on Buckeystown Pike (route 85).
