Winter Training Update – What Do I Do Now???????

USAT Level I coach

Happy New Year everyone! Now that the holidays are behind us (how many Lance Armstrong books from your relatives did you get?), it’s time to set you sights on the summer racing season. Hopefully, you’ve set some triathlon goals for 2010 – be it a faster time at a particular race, stepping up in distance to a longer race, or perhaps finally beating the pants off your friend who seems to just get you every time. Or maybe you just want to start shedding those holiday pounds. Regardless, spring and summer will arrive soon (the days are already getting longer!) and you don’t want to be unprepared for the upcoming season. (If you don’t think it’s coming fast, just ask anyone who got caught up in the Madison hysteria and signed up for their first Ironman this year).

TriWisconsin, YOUR team and THE premier triathlon club in the Midwest (and one of the largest in the country) is here to help. The following are some winter training tips that I hope you find useful in the months ahead.

The Schroeder Aquatic Center is THE premier swimming venue in the state on one of our key club sponsors. They have many opportunities, including a beginner adult night on Mondays from 7:00-8:15PM. You can also just “drop-in” at any of the Masters swims. Check out their website at http://www.wsacltd.org/

Look for details under the “Masters” and “Adult Novice Programs”.

You do not have to be a member of the Y to join.

YMCA MASTERS SWIM PROGRAMS – two locations

Starts Feb 1st – Mar 28th (more programs after that)

#1

YMCA West Suburban (N. 124th St, Wauwatosa/Brookfield)

MTWThF 6:30-7:30AM w/instructor MW only

MTWThF 8:30-10:00 PM w/instructor MW only

#2

YMCA Southwest (W. Beloit Rd, Hales Corners)

MTWSat 6:00-7:30AM w/instructor MTWSat

Cost for the program for Y-members is $26.00 and you can attend either location as often as you want. This option is called "Masters Unlimited." For non-members the cost is $40 for 1x/wk or $80 for 2x/wk. The best value is to join the Y and swim as much as possible. Matt Amman will be coaching the early morning programs at West Suburban; Pro Triathlete Lauren Jensen (and her husband Todd) help out the program at Southwest. Please signup by calling 414-546-9622 or by stopping at the front desk at either facilities. Matt, Lauren and Todd are outstanding swimmers and long-time TriWis members. All abilities are welcome.

The program starts February 1st, 2010 and ends March 28th, 2010. A summer program will then start April, 2010.

BIKING

Two of your Tri WI sponsors (TriFaster and InStep) have teamed up to offer Saturday morning cycling classes.  These 90 minutes sessions are structured cycling intervals with pumped up music that will bring your off season training to another level.  The workouts will be a mix of leg speed, aerobic intervals, strength sets, and time trial efforts.  Classes are led by TriFaster coaches Todd and Lauren Jensen.   
 
These TriFaster bike workouts will be held on Saturdays from 7:15-8:45am at InStep in Franklin.  They start Feb 6 and run for 6 weeks.  You can register for one or more classes, but you score a discount if you register for the entire session. They are BYOBAT workouts.  Sorry Perry, John, Erin and other fun hungry triathletes - that does not mean bring your own beer and treats (they are at 7:15am after all).  It actually means bring your own bike and trainer (along with a towel and water or sports drink).  There is an option to enroll in a 9am yoga class following the bike workouts.
 
For more information and to register for the bike workouts, please visit www.trifaster.com.  For more information or to register for yoga, please visit http://www.runinstep.com.  We are limited by space, so register early if you want to guarentee a spot in this class.
