Congratulations to the RACC organization, led by Cole Braun (a triwis board officer as well), for another well run Expo!

What’s this? A ride without the pressure of everyone leaving you in the dust?

Yes! Join your fellow TriWis teammates for a more casual ride through one of two different parks. No pressure here. You won’t be dropped and there’ll be very experienced ride leaders to help you along the way. They’ll answer all your questions about triathlons and give riding tips along the way. Distances will vary (about 10-12 miles to start) and increase as the summer goes along. This will be a great way to learn how to ride in a group.

When: Thursdays at 6:00pm

Where: Alternating between Hansen Park clubhouse lot (part of Underwood Park and same as hill workouts and near our kickoff meeting) and Lake Park Bistro parking lot on the fashionable East Side.  For details, view the Triwisconsin calendar, or click here.

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.
