Frederick Triathlon Club in Frederick, Maryland

Hello fellow TriClub members. This is an invitation to run with me on Saturday mornings at 7:00 am. I have been running with the Frederick Steeplechasers group each Sat morning. We meet in Baker Park (on the street near the Gazebo/Rec Center). Distances vary from 4 – 20 miles. The group starts at 7:00 and then everyone decides how to break the distances up. The pace is 9:30 – 10:00 min/mile with bathroom breaks along the way. It has been a really fun group to get together with. Let me know if you are interested at t2grene@comcast.net Tracy Vagrin

I posted this over on the Facebook page and thought I’d add it here as well. Enjoy!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the mental and psychological aspects of training lately and thought I’d post a link to a good summary of what I’ve been reading. Personally, I’m a big proponent of many of these techniques and although all I have is my own experiences to go on, I do believe that by using visualization, positive affirmations and clearly defined goals anyone can improve their training effectiveness. Enjoy:

Last August, Cervélo SA announced a voluntary recall of the True Temper Wolf SL carbon fiber fork because of a potential safety issue involving the True Temper Wolf SL fork steerer which can crack and eventually break during normal use, causing the rider to lose control, fall and suffer serious injuries.

To date, we have replaced a significant percentage of the recalled forks, though there still are some recalled forks in the market. If you have a Wolf SL fork, please visit your nearest authorized Cervélo dealer immediately to have your fork swapped out for a free replacement. For many of you, this is the off season and an ideal time to have the replacement done!

If you are receiving this notice for a second time, we apologize. Your safety is our main concern, and we would like reach all customers with this fork and have them replaced as soon as possible. Replacements for the recalled True Temper fork are quickly available and we are sure you will appreciate the upgrade when you head out to start the 2009 season.

Please share this notice and web site with your friends, riding groups, clubs, an d any other Cervélo owners you know. We appreciate it.

For additional information, contact Cervélo Recall Hotline toll-free at 1-866-296-3137 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.cervelo.com/WolfSLRecall

Our next club meeting will be at our sponsor Bike Doctor of Frederick on Wed Feb 11 at 7PM.  I’ve asked Brian Wisowaty, the shop owner, if he or one of his folks will talk to the club about bike repairs you might need to do while racing.  This would include flats (clincher and tubular), small tire slice, chain problems, spoke breaks, CO2 catridges, etc.  Members may also share their experiences with what worked for them as well afterwards.

Folks interested in the club are welcome as well!

See you there!
