Cycling Workout with bonus TRI 101

Abbotsford 2499 McMillan Road, Abbotsford, BC, Canada

Saturday Spin: This coached program comes with membership and is designed for all levels. Athletes focus on cycling skills and aerobic threshold training in preparation for outdoor sessions that follow in April. Bring your bike, trainer, sweat towel, water and nutrition! Members will often turn this workout into a brick with a short (20-30 minute) run afterwards.

Plus bonus TRI 101 talk: Back to training after the off season

Coach Kevin writes: If you have been slacking off or missing a bit of your training motivation lately, do not feel alone. This time of year, especially in Canada, many of us dedicated triathletes often tend to spend less time training. That's not a bad thing, as it gives us more time to spend with our loved ones, work on major projects for work or school, or on other interests that we may have.

That being said, we are now almost done the off-season and it is time to get back into the of regular swing of things.

Our Tri-101 talk is going to be about sharing your strategies on how to get back into a regular triathlon training and racing schedule.

The talk (well discussion really) will be held at our house which is located in Mission - please email abbytriclub@gmail.com for the address.

The talk will begin at 11 AM on Saturday, January 28 and will run until about noon, at which time we will get on our bike trainers for our usual Saturday Spin Session. If you want to just attend either the talk, or the spin, that is totally cool. Make it work for you.

Now for your homework! If you do plan on attending the Tri-101 session please respond to this post by answering the following questions:

What are your 2 main reasons for doing triathlon?
How long have you been doing this sport for?
If you could change 1 thing about your triathlon skill or ability set, what would it be?
Hope to see you at our place at 11:00 AM on Saturday January 28 for ATC's TRI 101 talk on getting "Back to training after the off season"!

ATC Social and TRI 101

Mission Springs Brewing Company 7160 Oliver Street, Mission, BC, Canada

A special TRI 101 announcement - TRI 101: Off-road triathlons presented by Roy McBeth!
Although there are many of parallels between road triathlons, off-road triathlons are distinguished from conventional triathlons in that the terrain for the cycling and running stages are generally unpaved, rough, and hilly. They require different techniques than conventional triathlon races, and in particular the athletes employ mountain bikes rather than road bikes. Not only are they fun, but the grit and strength required can be very rewarding! All are welcome so bring your friends, your enemies and your frenemies! Hang out with ATC afterwards and we promise to talk about more than just triathlons ;).

Roy has competed in MTB events for over 15 years and Xterra events for the last 8 years with events in Canmore, Whistler, Victoria, Las Vegas, Washington, Saipan, Guam plus the Xterra Worlds 3x in Maui. Come join ATC at Mission Springs, on Wednesday, March 29 at 7:30pm as Roy shares the what he has learned along his amazing off-road journey!

TRI 101: How to Taper plus bonus Ride/Spin

Kristina & Vince's Abbotsford, Canada

As you close in on a goal event, maintaining a typical weekly overload and recovery schedule isn’t ideal to achieve an athlete’s potential on race day. You need to sharpen the body’s ability to perform - you need to taper!

The taper is the controlled decrease in training load required to bring an athlete to that pinnacle of a focused mind, and a body that has shed all fatigue and is fresh to go. This is race readiness; if it were just a matter of reducing the workouts volumes and/or intensities it would all be so simple! Getting to that point is as much an art as well as science.

Join Coach Hilary on ATC's TRI 101 workshop on How to Taper!
