Spring Timetrial Results - May 3rd, 2012

Week #1 is in the books.  Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight!

Week 1 - May 3rd, 2012 Results
Tonight turned out to be better than expected in terms of the weather.  This was one of the calmest nights we have run this course.  We had a good group of 23 riders including several new people.
Weather: 75-degrees F, with winds at 4mph from the WSW, Humid with storm clouds but no rain.

Note - one oddity on the results is that the pace is in miles-per-hour but is being displayed as if it was minutes-per-mile.  Hopefully I can resolve that.  Also, for next week, the course is now marked!

Run Results: Semyo 5k and Diva Dash

Spring Time Trial Series

It's time!  April has not been as kind as March this year, but it is time-trial season none-the-less.  Our first of 4 time trials in the spring series is this Thursday evening.

All of the logistics (directions, course map, rules, etc...) can be found on our Spring Time Trial page.  If you don't have a waiver on file with us for 2012, you will need to sign one in order to participate.  You can get one step ahead by printing one out and bringing it with you.

If you are new to time trialing, or the club, or just want to find out more about our TT series check out this article.

Hope to see you there.

Cannon Falls Du & Ken Woods Memorial Road Race

Saturday April 28th was a tough morning to be racing with temperatures in the 30s, rain, and some wind.  We had members toughing it out at the Falls Duathlon and the Ken Woods Road Race in Cannon Falls.

The Falls Du starts with a 2 mile run followed by a 14 mile bike and finishes with a 3 mile run.  There was an impressive turnout given the weather and we had several members racing and doing quite well.  Read more on Minnesota Tri News

Description:

Looking for a challenge? Want to have some fun and meet new people? Do you have a bike, like to run, and swim a bit too? Then you?re ready to try a TRIATHLON! Triathlon is one of the fastest growing sports in the country and there are several races in our area. This informational session is designed to give you information on the sport of triathlon, how to find races, and how to prepare for your first race. We will also have information on youth triathlons in the area.

Group Rides

We have our first group ride scheduled for this Saturday at 10 AM.  Details are on the Group Ride page under Events.  This is a good opportunity to come meet new people, discover new roads, and potentially find new training partners.  These rides will be "no-drop" rides with different pace groups suitable for everyone.

Hill Workouts

Our group bike hill workouts start tomorrow.  We will meet and ride as a group to the hill and then do a few repeats (at your own pace) on the hill before riding back as a group.  The hill location will vary week-to-week, but we will meet at Rochester Cycling and ride from there as a warm up.  Details are available under Events.
