What motorists are really thinking.

In preparation for the quickly approaching outdoor season, here is some entertainment for your Wednesday courtesy of the Fatcyclist.
Enjoy!

Outdoor Riding

It's not outdoor season yet, but time to start thinking about it.  Here are two helpful links to club documents:

Sunday Morning Workouts

A quick update to Sunday Mornings workouts:

The Brick workout will continue to begin at 9:30am...but...if you're keen to get a bit of running drill work in, There will be a 20 minute session beginning at 9:10. This session will focus on a quick warm up, some dynamic flexibility and a few run drills.

Second, as of late, many of us have been frustrated by the frequent Pan Am Track Closures on during the weekend training sessions due to special events.  With the remaining 6 weeks that we have left, plan to bring an extra running outer layer for a quick transition and a quality run off the bike outside. We can only hope that the weather will cooperate for the remainder of the indoor season.


A quick reminder that the next indoor Wednesday night track workout is Wednesday March 2nd. 

The Secret to Triathlon Success...in case you wondered.

Ok, one more time, here it is: the secret to success

From Sports Coaching Brain

We all know what the *secret* to success is - it is so obvious it has no right to be even called a *secret* - here it is for free:
Work harder, more consistently than anyone in your sport in the world ensuring that you commit everything you have physically, mentally, technically and tactically to every training, recovery and competition experience.
The best gym in the world will not make an impact on a team with a poor performance culture, who turn up late, who have poor discipline off the field and who are not totally committed to living excellence in training and preparation. Spending thousands of dollars on sports nutrition products do not make up for a poor attitude, a bad technique, a lack of skill and a sloppy recovery program. Yet, in the next 24 hours, tens of thousands of sports people around the world will spend millions of dollars on sports equipment and sports nutrition products seeking a performance advantage which in all reality does not exist -or if it does exist, is a short term solution.
