2011 MCCS TriKids Youth Triathlon Camp

The MCCS ODST TriKids Youth Triathlon Training Camp offers athletes 18 and
younger the opportunity to learn about and train for a triathlon. We are looking
for volunteers to help with the camp, primarily as safety cyclists during the
bike training sessions. We hope that all athletes take part in the TriKids
Triathlon on Saturday 6 August. We also welcome parents to the camp as
observers, bike safety riders, and participants when space allows.

Tryouts: All athletes will be tested on the first day of camp. The first day of
the camp will be a swim and run test, bicycle check and tune-up, and an overview
of the weeks.

Qualifying Standards:
Swim - 200-meters in under 7:00
Bicycle - must have one in safe, working condition, and must have a helmet that
fits!
Run - 1 km under 9:00
Have a great attitude and be ready to train

Location: Foster 50-meter pool and surrounding area
Schedule: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 07:30-10:30
Dates: 26-28 July and 2-4 August 2010

Each training session could include swimming, cycling, running, transition
practice, and other related activities. Participants must supply their own
bicycle, helmet, running shoes, swim suit, and goggles, and appropriate workout
attire.

Fee: $35.00. Only accepted on or after the first day of the camp.

Camp Participation Limit: All participants must be SOFA/US-Military ID Card
Holders. Size will be limited to 60 athletes. If more than 60 sign-up, that
number may be expanded or athletes will be allowed to participate based on
results of tryouts on the first day of the camp. See qualifying standards for
basic qualifications.

Additional Information: We will meet on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at
the Foster 50-meter pool from 07:45-10:30. Please try to be early each day and
expect to train until 10:15 each day. We seldom finish early and occasionally
end up going a few minutes late. Things are not all work, but there is some
physical fitness development along with skill training (and some fun, too).
Triathletes will be allowed to store bikes in a locked room within the facility.
I suggest that bikes be taken home after camp on Thursday and then brought back
to camp on Monday. Some of the triathletes will ride their bikes to and from the
camp each day. Beyond the work we do at training camp each week, I suggest that
all triathletes run an extra two to three times (10 to 30-minutes) and ride an
extra two or three times (20 to 60 minutes) each week. Start with the lower
workout time and add a bit each week. Don't worry about how fast or slow you
move, just get out and do it.

General Daily Plan:
Prepare all gear and do bike safety checks.
Discuss the day's workout
Divide into groups.
One group works in the pool, second group works on the bike, and then groups
change places. Once bike and swim work is completed, athletes then work together
on transition (moving from one mode to another) and run skills.

We will still meet if it is raining, but, if we are in TC-2 or worse, there will
be no camp. We will resume camp 1-day after all-clear. Call the pool to confirm.
The pool phone number is 645-2211.

Each day, each athlete will need: Bike, Helmet, Running shoes, Socks, Swim wear,
Bike wear, Run wear, Goggles, Towel, Water bottle, Snack (power bar, peanut
butter sandwich, fruit, etc.), Sunscreen, Sunglasses, Hat, Smiles, Ambition

If the storm looks like it will threaten Saturday's TriKids and TriChicks races
(6 Aug), our current plan is to either cancel or reschedule to the next weekend.
We will make that determination later this week.

Swim on,

101 Critical Days of Summer 2011
Bicycle Safety
Ten Ways to Not Get Hit

Collision Type #1:
The Right Cross
This is the most common way to get hit (or almost get hit).(source1, source2) A
car is pulling out of a side street, parking lot, or driveway on the right.
Notice that there are actually two possible kinds of collisions here: Either
you're in front of the car and the car hits you, or the car pulls out in front
of you and you slam into it.
1. Get a headlight. If you're riding at night, you should absolutely use a front
headlight. It's required by law, anyway. Even for daytime riding, a bright white
light that has a flashing mode can make you more visible to motorists who might
otherwise Right Cross you. Look for the new LED headlights which last ten times
as long on a set of batteries as old-style lights. And helmet- or head-mounted
lights are the best, because then you can look directly at the driver to make
sure they see your light.
2. Honk. Get a loud horn and use it whenever you see a car approaching (or
waiting) ahead of you and to the right. If you don't have a horn, then yell
"Hey!" You may feel awkward honking or yelling, but it's better to be
embarrassed than to get hit. Incidentally, many countries require bells on
bicycles, but the U.S. doesn't.
3. Slow down. If you can't make eye contact with the driver (especially at
night), slow down so much that you're able to completely stop if you have to.
Sure, it's inconvenient, but it beats getting hit. Doing this has saved my life
on too many occasions to count.
4. Ride further left. You're probably used to riding in the "A" line in the
picture, very close to the curb, because you're worried about being hit from
behind. But take a look at the car. When that driver is looking down the road
for traffic, he's not looking in the bike lane or the area closest to the curb;
he's looking in the middle of the lane, for other cars. The farther left you are
(such as in "B"), the more likely the driver will see you. There's an added
bonus here: if the motorist doesn't see you and starts pulling out, you may be
able to go even farther left, or may be able to speed up and get out of the way
before impact, or easily roll onto their hood as they slam on their brakes. In
short, it gives you some options. Because if you stay all the way to the right
and they pull out, your only "option" may be to run right into the driver's side
door. Using this method has saved me on three occasions in which a motorist ran
into me slowly as they hit their brakes and I wasn't hurt, and in which I
definitely would have slammed into the driver's side door had I not moved left.
Of course, there's a tradeoff. While riding to the left makes you more visible
motorists ahead of you at intersections, it does make you a little more
vulnerable to the cars behind you. But the stats say you're far more likely to
get hit by a car at an intersection ahead of you that can't see you, than from a
car behind you which can see you clearly. So while both positions have risk, you
generally reduce your risk by riding a little farther left. Your actual lane
position may vary depending on how wide the street is, how many cars there are,
how fast and how close they pass you, and how far you are from the next
intersection. On fast roadways with few cross streets, you'll ride farther to
the right, and on slow roads with many cross streets, you'll ride farther left.
See lane position for more about this.

Collision Type #2:
The Door Prize
A driver opens his door right in front of you. You run right into it if you
can't stop in time. This kind of crash is more common than you might think: It's
the second-most common car-bike crash in Toronto,(source) and the #1 crash Santa
Barbara.(source) We've compiled a huge list of cyclists killed by running into
open car doors.
Ride to the left. Ride far enough to the left that you won't run into any door
that's opened unexpectedly. You may be wary about riding so far into the lane
that cars can't pass you easily, but you're more likely to get doored by a
parked car if you ride too close to it than you are to get hit from behind by a
car which can clearly see you.

Collision Type #3:
The Crosswalk Slam
You're riding on the sidewalk and cross the street at a crosswalk, and a car
makes a right turn, right into you. Drivers aren't expecting bikes in the
crosswalk, and it's hard for them to see you because of the nature of turning
from one street to another, so it's very easy for you to get hit this way. In
fact, this collision is so common we've lost track of the number of people
who've told us they were hit this way, such as Ray John Ray. One study showed
that sidewalk-riding was twice as dangerous as road riding, and another study
said it's even more dangerous than that.
1. Get a headlight. If you're riding at night, you should absolutely use a front
headlight. It's required by law, anyway.
2. Slow down. Slow down enough that you're able to completely stop if necessary.
3. Don't ride on the sidewalk in the first place. Crossing between sidewalks is
a fairly dangerous maneuver. If you do it on the left-hand side of the street,
you risk getting slammed as per the diagram. If you do it on the right-hand side
of the street, you risk getting slammed by a car behind you that's turning
right. Sidewalk riding also makes you vulnerable to cars pulling out of parking
lots or driveways. And you're threatening to pedestrians on the sidewalk, who
could get hurt if you hit them. These kinds of accidents are hard to avoid,
which is a compelling reason to not ride on the sidewalk in the first place. In
addition, riding on the sidewalk is illegal in some places.
Some special sidewalks are safe to ride on. If the sidewalk is really long (no
need to frequently cross streets), and free of driveways and peds, then there's
little risk to you and others. Just make sure when you do cross a street or
driveway that you slow down considerably and that you check the traffic in all
directions, especially behind you if you're riding with the flow of traffic.

Collision Type #4:
The Wrong-Way Wreck
You're riding the wrong way (against traffic, on the left-hand side of the
street). A car makes a right turn from a side street, driveway, or parking lot,
right into you. They didn't see you because they were looking for traffic only
on their left, not on their right. They had no reason to expect that someone
would be coming at them from the wrong direction.
Even worse, you could be hit by a car on the same road coming at you from
straight ahead of you. They had less time to see you and take evasive action
because they're approaching you faster than normal (because you're going towards
them rather than away from them). And if they hit you, it's going to be much
more forceful impact, for the same reason. (Both your and their velocities are
combined.)
Don't ride against traffic. Ride with traffic, in the same direction.
Riding against traffic may seem like a good idea because you can see the cars
that are passing you, but it's not. Here's why:
1. Cars which pull out of driveways, parking lots, and cross streets (ahead of
you and to the left), which are making a right onto your street, aren't
expecting traffic to be coming at them from the wrong way. They won't see you,
and they'll plow right into you.
2. How the heck are you going to make a right turn?
3. Cars will approach you at a much higher relative speed. If you're going
15mph, then a car passing you from behind doing 35 approaches you at a speed of
only 20 (35-15). But if you're on the wrong side of the road, then the car
approaches you at 50 (35+15), which is more than twice as fast! Since they're
approaching you faster, both you and the driver have lots less time to react.
And if a collision does occur, it's going to be ten times worse.
4. Riding the wrong way is illegal and you can get ticketed for it.
One study showed that riding the wrong way was three times as dangerous as
riding the right way, and for kids, the risk is seven times greater. (source)
Nearly one-fourth of crashes involve cyclists riding the wrong way. (source)
Some readers have challenged this, saying if 25% of crashes are from going the
wrong way, then riding the right way is more dangerous because it accounts for
75% of crashes. That thinking is wrong. First off, only 8% of cyclists ride the
wrong way, yet nearly 25% of them get hit -- meaning wrong-way cyclists really
are three times more likely to get hit than those who ride the proper way.
Second, the problem with wrong-way biking is that it promotes crashes, while
right-way biking does not. For example, cyclists running stop signs or red
lights is 17% of their crashes. (source) But do we therefore conclude that not
running signals causes 83% of crashes?! (Hint: No.)

Collision Type #5:
Red Light of Death
You stop to the right of a car that's already waiting at a red light or stop
sign. They can't see you. When the light turns green, you move forward, and then
they turn right, right into you. Even small cars can do you in this way, but
this scenario is especially dangerous when it's a bus or a semi that you're
stopping next to. An Austin cyclist was killed in 1994 when he stopped to the
right of a semi, and then it turned right. He was crushed under its wheels.
Don't stop in the blind spot. Simply stop BEHIND a car, instead of to the right
of it, as per the diagram below. This makes you very visible to traffic on all
sides. It's impossible for the car behind you to avoid seeing you when you're
right in front of it.
Another option is to stop at either point A in the diagram above (where the
first driver can see you), or at point B, behind the first car so it can't turn
into you, and far enough ahead of the second car so that the second driver can
see you clearly. It does no good to avoid stopping to the right of the first car
if you're going to make the mistake of stopping to the right of the second car.
EITHER car can do you in.
If you chose spot A, then ride quickly to cross the street as soon as the light
turns green. Don't look at the motorist to see if they want to go ahead and
turn. If you're in spot A and they want to turn, then you're in their way. Why
did you take spot A if you weren't eager to cross the street when you could?
When the light turns green, just go, and go quickly. (But make sure cars aren't
running the red light on the cross street, of course.)
If you chose spot B, then when the light turns green, DON'T pass the car in
front of you -- stay behind it, because it might turn right at any second. If it
doesn't make a right turn right away, it may turn right into a driveway or
parking lot unexpectedly at any point. Don't count on drivers to signal! They
don't. Assume that a car can turn right at any time. (NEVER pass a car on the
right!) But try to stay ahead of the car behind you until you're through the
intersection, because otherwise they might try to cut you off as they turn
right.
While we're not advocating running red lights, notice it is in fact safer to run
the red light if there's no cross traffic, than it is to wait legally at the red
light directly to the right of a car, only to have it make a right turn right
into you
when the light turns green. The moral here is not that you should break the law,
but that you can easily get hurt even if you follow the law.
By the way, be very careful when passing stopped cars on the right as you
approach a red light. You run the risk of getting doored by a passenger exiting
the car on the right side, or hit by a car that unexpectedly decides to pull
into a parking space on the right side of the street.

Collision Type #6:
The Right Hook
A car passes you and then tries to make a right turn directly in front of you,
or right into you. They think you're not going very fast just because you're on
a bicycle, so it never occurs to them that they can't pass you in time. Even if
you have to slam on your brakes to avoid hitting them, they often won't feel
they've done anything wrong. This kind of collision is very hard to avoid
because you typically don't see it until the last second, and because there's
nowhere for you to go when it happens.
1. Don't ride on the sidewalk. When you come off the sidewalk to cross the
street you're invisible to motorists. You're just begging to be hit if you do
this. Keith Vick was killed this way in Austin, TX in Dec. 2002.
2. Ride to the left. Taking up the whole lane makes it harder for drivers to
pass you to cut you off or turn into you. Don't feel bad about taking the lane:
if motorists didn't threaten your life by turning in front of or into you or
passing you too closely, then you wouldn't have to. If the lane you're in isn't
wide enough for cars to pass you safely, then you should be taking the whole
lane anyway. Lane position is discussed in more detail below.
3. Glance in your mirror before approaching an intersection. (If you don't have
a handlebar or helmet mirror, get one now.) Be sure to look in your mirror well
before you get to the intersection. When you're actually going through an
intersection, you'll need to be paying very close attention to what's in front
of you.

Collision Type #7:
The Right Hook, Pt. 2
You're passing a slow-moving car (or even another bike) on the right, when it
unexpectedly makes a right turn right into you, trying to get to a parking
lot,driveway or side street.
1. Don't pass on the right. This collision is very easy to avoid. Just don't
pass any vehicle on the right. If a car ahead of you is going only 10 mph, then
you slow down, too, behind it. It will eventually start moving faster. If it
doesn't, pass on the left when it's safe
to do so.
When passing cyclists on the left, announce "on your left" before you start
passing, so they don't suddenly move left into you. (Of course, they're much
less likely to suddenly move left without looking, where they could be hit by
traffic, then to suddenly move right, into a destination.) If they're riding too
far to the left for you to pass safely on the left, then announce "on your
right" before passing on the right.
If several cars are stopped at a light, then you can try passing on the right
cautiously. Remember that someone can fling open the passenger door unexpectedly
as they exit the car. Also remember that if you pass on the right and traffic
starts moving again unexpectedly, you may suffer #3, the Red Light of Death.
Note that when you're tailing a slow-moving vehicle, ride behind it, not in its
blind spot immediately to the right of it. Even if you're not passing a car on
the right, you could still run into it if it turns right while you're right next
to it. Give yourself enough room to brake if it turns.
2. Look behind you before turning right. Here's your opportunity to avoid
hitting cyclists who violate tip #1 above and try to pass you on the right. Look
behind you before making a right-hand turn to make sure a bike isn't trying to
pass you. (Also remember that they could be coming up from behind you on the
sidewalk while you're on the street.) Even if it's the other cyclist's fault for
trying to pass you on the right when you make a right turn and have them slam
into you, it won't hurt any less when they hit you.

Collision Type #8:
The Left Cross
A car coming towards you makes a left turn right in front of you, or right into
you. This is similar to #1, above. Austin cyclists hit this way include Dr. Lee
Chilton, John Howell (former president of the Austin Cycling Association), and
Janne Osborne.
1. Don't ride on the sidewalk. When you come off the sidewalk to cross the
street, you're invisible to turning motorists.
2. Get a headlight. If you're riding at night, you should absolutely use a front
headlight. It's required by law in most countries, anyway.
3. Wear something bright, even during the day. It may seem silly, but bikes are
small and easy to see through even during the day. Yellow or orange reflective
vests really make a big difference. Reflective leg bands are also easy and
inexpensive.
4. Don't pass on the right. Don't overtake slow-moving vehicles on the right.
Doing so makes you invisible to left-turning motorists at intersections. Passing
on the right means that the vehicle you're passing could also make a right turn
right into you, too.
5. Slow down. If you can't make eye contact with the driver (especially at
night), slow down so much that you're able to completely stop if you have to.
Sure, it's inconvenient, but it beats getting hit.

Collision Type #9:
The Rear End
You innocently move a little to the left to go around a parked car or some other
obstruction in the road, and you get nailed by a car coming up from behind.
1. Never, ever move left without looking behind you first. Some motorists like
to pass cyclists within mere inches, so moving even a tiny bit to the left
unexpectedly could put you in the path of a car. Practice holding a straight
line while looking over your shoulder until you can do it perfectly. Most new
cyclists tend to move left when they look behind them, which of course can be
disastrous.
2. Don't swerve in and out of the parking lane if it contains any parked cars.
You might be tempted to ride in the parking lane where there are no parked cars,
dipping back into the traffic lane when you encounter a parked car. This puts
you at risk for getting nailed from behind. Instead, ride a steady, straight
line in the traffic lane.
3. Use a mirror. If you don't have one, get one from a bike shop or an online
shop right now. There are models that fit on your handlebars, helmet, or
glasses, as you prefer. You should always physically look back over your
shoulder before moving left, but having a mirror still helps you monitor traffic
without constantly having to look behind you.
4. Signal. Never move left without signaling. Just put your left arm straight
out. Be sure to check your mirror or loo behind you before signaling (since a
car passing too closely can take your arm out).

Collision Type #10:
The Rear End, Pt. 2
A car runs into you from behind. This is what many cyclists fear the most, but
it's actually not very common, comprising only 3.8% of collisions. (source)
However, it's one of the hardest collisions to avoid, since you're not usually
looking behind you. The risk is likely greater at night, and in rides outside
the city where traffic is faster and lighting is worse. The three cyclists
killed when hit from behind in Austin in 96-97 were all riding at night, and at
least two of them didn't have lights on their bikes. (source) The best way to
avoid getting Rear-Ended is to ride on very wide roads or in bike lanes, or on
roads where the traffic moves slowly, and to use lights when biking at night.
1. Get a rear light. If you're riding at night, you absolutely should use a
flashing red rear light. Bruce Mackey (formerly of Florida, now head of bike
safety in Nevada) says that 60% of bike collisions in Florida are caused by
cyclists riding at night without lights. In 1999, 39% of deaths on bicycles
nationwide occurred between 6 p.m. and midnight. [USA Today, 10-22-01,
attributed to the Insurance Institute for highway safety]
Bike shops have red rear blinkies for $15 or less. These kind of lights
typically take two AA batteries, which last for months (something like 200
hours). I can't stress this item enough: If you ride at night, get a rear light!
2. Wear a reflective vest or a safety triangle. High quality reflective gear
makes you a lot more visible even in the day time, not just at night. I had a
friend ride away from me while wearing one during the day, and when she was
about a quarter mile away, I couldn't see her or her bike at all, but the vest
was clearly visible. At night the difference is even greater. Bike shops have
vests and triangles for $10 to $15. Also, when you hear a motorist approaching,
straightening up into a vertical position will make your reflective gear more
noticeable.
3. Choose wide streets. Ride on streets whose outside lane is so wide that it
can easily fit a car and a bike side by side. That way a car may zoom by you and
avoid hitting you, even if they didn't see you!
4. Choose slow streets. The slower a car is going, the more time the driver has
to see you. I navigate the city by going through neighborhoods. Learn how to do
this.
5. Use back streets on weekends. The risk of riding on Friday or Saturday night
is much greater than riding on other nights because all the drunks are out
driving around. If you do ride on a weekend night, make sure to take
neighborhood streets rather than arterials.
6. Get a mirror. Get a mirror and use it. If it looks like a car doesn't see
you, hop off your bike and onto the sidewalk. Mirrors cost $5-15. Trust me, once
you've ridden a mirror for a while, you'll wonder how you got along without it.
My paranoia went down 80% after I got a mirror. If you're not convinced, after
you've used your mirror for a month, take it off your bike and ride around and
notice how you keep glancing down to where your mirror was, and notice how
unsafe you feel without it.
7. Don't hug the curb. This is counter-intuitive, but give yourself a little
space between yourself and the curb. That gives you some room to move into in
case you see a large vehicle in your mirror approaching without moving over far
enough to avoid you. Also, when you hug the curb tightly you're more likely to
suffer a right cross from motorists who can't see you.
