Frederick Triathlon Club in Frederick, Maryland

Hey club!  Club member Kevin Clark posted this on Facebook and I thought I’d also post it on our site.  If you’re looking for some help with your swim stroke, this might be an economical and quick answer:

Here you’ll find links to the different clinics that are offered by Clay in DC.  For a 1-day clinic, the cost is $140 and you receive classroom instruction, underwater videotaping, tools, and in-water instruction.  There are other options available if you want more clinic time or more personalized instruction.  Check out the options at the link above.

In addtion to the normal group running session this Sunday 2/1, our sponsor Fundamental Fitness is beginning training for the Frederick Marathon and having a Kick-off parthy after the run.  Details in the flyer below:

And registration has opened for this event as well.  These are great events for the kids and encourages them to be the future for our sport/lifestyle.  Also hosted by Racine Multisports, This race supports the Joanna M. Nicolay Melanoma Foundation. The mission of the Joanna M. Nicolay Melanoma Foundation is to promote prevention, early detection and research to end melanoma.  This is Frederick’s only official Kid’s Triathlon.  The official website and more details can be found at:

I encourage all members of the Frederick Tri Club to consider volunteering for this event.

Just discovered that registration for the popular and close by Hagerstown Sprint Triathlon is open!  The event takes place on Sunday, July 26th.

This is a good beginner Sprint Tri and is a pretty easy, mostly flat, fast course.  Distances:

300 m pool swim

11.5 bike

3.1 mile run

Go to http://www.racinemultisports.com/Triathlon.html to find out more.  Links to register with Active.com are there.

Due to schedule conflicts, Hank is unable to consistently conduct a run on Saturday mornings.  If this changes, I’ll update the website and the club.

Here’s the new logo I’m proposing for the club:

Yeah, I know “Triatholon” is spelled wrong.  The designer just didn’t know and joked it was so we couldn’t use it without paying.

We will have to pay the designer who came up with this draft, so that may enter into your comments/decisions.  Still, though I was okay with the Tribe logo, this one does relate more to Frederick. 

Please let me know if you have heartburn with this within the next few weeks.

Just a heads up that chuck’s bicycle closeouts is going out of business.  They’re offering 30% off all their remaining inventory. Their prices are low to begin with, so 30% off means that you can get stuff really cheap. Brian and I have bought several items from these guys over the years and have been completely satisfied. Definitely a place to check out if you’re looking for wheels, parts, etc.

If you enjoy Clif Bar as one of your fuel sources, please see the voluntary recall notice for their products that contain peanut butter from manufacturers linked to a nationwide salmonella outbreak.
