June 7th Camp!

Hey guys! Wow, the season is rapidly upon us! We have scheduled a time and place for the camp. It will be on June 7th at the the Ranch Resort in Bethany. Directions can be found on their site.

We will be setting up a swim, run and bike course for you. Approx distances are 300m swim, 10km bike and 2.5km run. All in nice and quite countryside.

Also, we will be having a BBQ and info session afterwards. We will cover lots of topics from bike maintenance/repair, to wetsuit advice.

What we need from you is a confirmation that you will be attending. The camp will be running from 1-4pm approx. maybe later. Please e-mail confirmation of attendance to canadiantriathletes@hotmail.com. Unfortunatetly, this camp is only open to registered PPMS members.

LOGO Contest!!

I am not happy with our current logo.  I figure you guys might be better at this than me!!  So we are running a logo contest!  

What do you need to do!

1.  Design a digital Port Perry Multisport Logo.  
2.  Make sure that it will look good blown up to 6inches by 6 inches (it doesn't get pixelated) .  It can be bigger!
3.  E-mail it to me (canadiantriathletes@hotmail.com)
4.  We will pick the 4 best and put them up on the site so everyone can vote on them.
5.  The winner will be awarded a bag of swag.  Looks like there will be some cool stuff in it, so better make a good logo!
6.  If you know how to put it into an EMS file that would be good, otherwise don't worry about it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Pictures

Hey Guys!!! 
The TT results are now available on the side bar of this page.  We are going to keep all results in the same place so you can analyze your progress on the different routes.

Also thought it would be cool if we could start getting pictures up from the different workouts.  I will try and remember a camera, but if you guys can snap some pics and send them to me I will be sure to post them here.  

E-mail them too canadiantriathletes@hotmail.com

Awesome Animated Swim Analysis

Hey Guys!

For all of those newbies, and expert swimmers for that matter. This is an awesome site. It allows you to view the strokes of some top olympic swimmers. This is what you are supposed to look like in the water! Here is the link to a 1500m freestyle swimmer. Watch his body position, rotation, hand position (during his stroke, extended and recovery) Also, watch his kick and see how little he actually does it.
http://www.virtual-swim.com/3d_mv/top_btn/free/2000wc_1500/2000wc_1500_s.html

On the left of the screen you can move the camera angle around so you can view the swimmer from all angles. For sure, look at the side, front, top and bottom angles.
