Thanks for all of you guys that came out to the info night last night at the Jester. It was great to see all of the interest and really makes me excited for the season!
To those of you who couldn't make it, we had a brief introduction by all of the coaches.
Syd talked briefly about swimming and the web sites.
- All swims will be Monday 8:30 until 9:30 at Uxbridge Pool. We have 2 lanes dedicated to us, but from the looks of things we will need more, so show up early and we will take over some extra lanes. If we could be on deck by 8:15 we should be good. You are responsible for paying to access the pool. Uxpool has a variety of different memberships available.
- Swim workouts will target swimmers of all abilities. (I won't kick your butts too bad until later in the season!)
- http://www.portperrymultisport.blogspot.com/ will be the main site for all club info. Workout times and locations will be listed here. Any important changes to schedules and/or social events will also appear here.
- http://www.canadiantriathletes.com/ is a triathlon forum that I run as well. There are a ton of excellent resources there for everyone. There is also a section at the bottom dedicated to us. You can post questions to the coaches as well as posting any calls for people interested in joining up for rides/runs/swims outside of club sanctioned workouts.
- We also hope to put together seminars throughout the course of the season on different topics related to triathlon training. Everything from changing a flat to planning your season.
Dave talked briefly about the cycling workouts for the season.
- TT's will be held on Tuesday's at 6 or possibly 6:30 ( we will let you know) We are looking at 3 different routes. Two of which start from blackstock and one on Marsh hill Road. They are all approximately 15km in distance and are done against the clock.
- We hope to post results and times here.
- He will be running a seminar on bike maintenance and fixing flats as well
Heather talked about the run workouts for the year.
- Runs will be held on Thursday starting at the Port Perry fairgrounds.
- Most runs will be done on the track but will will also do some on the surrounding roads.
- We will be covering everything from speed workouts to hills and endurance. There will be a focus on proper technique.
George rambled on about some stuff ( I drifted off :>) kidding!
- Handed out and explained the different forms we needed. (Par-Q, Info Sheet, OAT registration). I hope to have these up here for you to print off soon.
- Outlined the goals of the club. We are here for you guys. We are volunteers, but love what we do and will do our best to get you to your goals.
- April 6th will be our first formal swim, with running starting the weekend before.
- Probably some other info that I missed.
- We will also be holding a one day trainin camp/mock triathlon at some point in the season. We will let you know more about that when it is solidified.
- Along with the other forms we need your shirt size so we can get you an official Port Perry Multisport Tech T (soon to be a collectors item I'm sure!)
- Cheques are to be made out to Port Perry Multisport Club for $125.00. Price includes: All coaching services, OAT membership, Tech T, Camp, and hopefully some end of season social.
If you have any specific questions regarding the club e-mail George at pptriclub@powergate.ca or me (syd) at canadiantriathletes@hotmail.com
