Triathlon Seminar

Yesterday some of us attended the triathlon seminar held at Reynold Cycle. It was a great event, had a couple guest speakers, friend of our Connor Hammond spoke, came 12th at World Jr Triathlon Championships last year.

Also we've been keeping up with our training, been going real hard the last week or so, now that exams are over the real training can begin.

Can't wait for the season to get going.

Avoiding Studying For Exams, Might As Well Ride :)

Hey everyone,

While procrastinating immensely (not studying for exams), we've been on the bike day in and out, preparing for the 2010 season. The weather is finally warm enough (or at least not too windy) to ride outside so the Reynold Cycle boys have been hitting the roads pretty hard. Once exams are done later on in the week it will be time to add some more volume in the training, hopefully outside, the Trek Madone's are too pretty to be sitting on the trainer.

Don't forget to come out to Reynold Cycle @Meg Drive on January 30th at 3p.m. for our free triathlon clinic featuring Sheri Fraser, Connor Hammond, Janice Almeida and Katrina. The more the merrier.

Better get back to studying,

Happy Riding Everyone :)

The next few days...

For all us riders, this is one of the least pleasant times of the year,
EXAMS!

Sadly, they are approaching quickly next week and if any of the other guys are like myself, then I got a lot of studying to start doing.

On the biking side, we still hit the trainers at night when we can, or if we are procrastinating, haha, at least the weather is cooperating for now, we've been riding outside a little and will continue to as long as possible.

We can't wait for the warmth to come, (28C in Australia today for the TDU!)

Early Season Training

It's been a while since the last team post, but after a winter break, and focusing on school and other sports, we're getting back on the bikes!

Quick synopsis of the fall and winter.

All the riders on the team did cross country for their respective school during Sept, Oct, and into early Nov. Lots of great results throughout the season, notably Chris Balestrini 25th at ofsaa.

Then after a well deserved break, we started hitting the gym and trainers to train over the snowy months. Some of us also hit the pool and are currently swimming for our high school teams.

Yesterday, Andrew Scollard and Chris Balestrini hit the roads for an awesome ride out to Coldstream and back, weather was chilly, but no wind made it bearable. Looking forward to getting outside more often!

Another goal I have for this season is to frequently update the team blog, so stay tuned for info on the team and whatever else we feel like posting :)
