Keisuke,

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I was literally writing and
responding to
emails for 1.5 hours last night.
THere are about 130 members in the clun (well, on the tri list), but not
nearly that many show up for practice. When we are all healthy, I would say
there is around 15 who could score in their age group.
Xlisted with the cycling club...I would say maybe 20-30 - most (probably
10-13) people who are capable of winning age groups are x-listed...but not all
- eg i dont' because I wouldn't have time to race in the cycling season.. and
others who are x-listed focus mostly on bike riding and neglect other
disciplines.
We haven't trained as a club often in the past - last year we basically sent
out emails whenever people were gong to do workouts, and the same 15-20 would
show up to a few each week. We are trying to set a more solid sched this year,
and that will probably consist of a few of us holding 2-4 practices each week
at different times, and whoever wants to come can come. It is very lax. Adn we
hold practices in the winter, definitely - summer, not really, because
everyone
is all over the world so it is hard to get in touch.
Hope this helps!

Catie
