Hi guys. I've been out of touch a while. I'm trying to find triathletes up here in the Chisago Lakes area to do some training with. The Chisago Lakes Tri has...
Hi All! You've been so helpful in the past, I'm asking for your opinions again :) I've been getting in the pool with Masters at least 2x per week now and ...
A lot of what will determine your winter prep for a 1/2 will be when you're planning to do it. You need to do very different things in March if you're ...
Anyone doing it? Got any advice from previous years? I'm doing "recon" this Friday, what are some things that make it unique? I'm doing the short course next...
It's definitely hilly. If you have the time, get there a little early and drive the bike course before hand. You need to be particularly careful of the turn...
Now that there's a little bit of distance after the end of the local tri season, I'm interested in hearing how things went for everyone. How many times did...
This was my first season, and I think it went just fine. I did three tri's and one du (plus I did the MS 150 charity bike ride). I surprised myself by never...
Hello TCTRI group! My name is Bruce Martens and I have been a member of the group since the summer. I race mountain bike on the MNSCS circuit as well as the...
I had a great first season and am absolutely hooked! I did 8 tris in all (7 sprint and 1 Olympic). The biggest thing that was hard for me was keeping up my...
Does anyone have any suggestions about where to go for some inexpensive (read: no cost would be nice) swim lessons? I live in the south west burbs in...
A lot of people use masters swim sessions to work on their swimming. These are large, generally coached sessions. The coaching is not going to be the same...
Hi Jim, Are you a member of Lifetime Fitness? You might be able to hook up with one of the TCTRI members near where you live. If you want to come to Coon...
Hi Jim, I would also recommend the Masters Swim group. I actually swim with the Hopkins Masters 2-3x per week at 5:45am. There is also a 6:45am group. It...
I've had a good experience taking private lessons with the Blaisdell YMCA swim coach. It's $25 a session and well worth it. Now that my form is better, my...
Hi all, (Warning, the following includes a shameless plug) I've been working on a little project, and need some feedback from other triathletes. There are a...
Oh, good grief. That's just embarrassing. It is up and running, I just had a typo in the URL. http://www.trigeeknews.com/ I'm also still doing development...
Wind trainers are horrifically loud. Your family will hate you, your neighbors will hate you. People flying over your house will use the air-phone to tell...
Hey scott, I bought one from eriks last fall and spent a few extra bucks to get a quiet one and I'm really glad I did. If you spend any amount of time on it...
Thanks for the input on stationary trainers. I am interested in getting one, also. One additional question I have is whether using a trainer accelerates wear...
Wear isn't really a big concern anymore. In the days of steel bikes, sweating onto your frame was a problem -- months of salt building up were bad for a metal...
