So 10,000 yds or 5,350 yds.  It starts at 7:30 am. at the Provo Rec Center. Keep in mind the Rec center closes at noon.

Masters Swimming at Provo Rec.

remember masters swim Mon. and Wed. at 7pm and Tues. and Thurs. at 9:30 am.  I always find the winter is a great time to improve my swimming.  I'm certainly not spending much time outside on a bike.  I hope we see more of you out there.

All levels are welcome.

What a value. Pay for the price of admission and get swim coaching for free!!!!

my apologies

i should have checked to make sure there was no swim meet this morning.  if anyone was planning on doing the workout with me I hope you did find something to do.

Let me know if anyone is interested in rescheduling either the indoor tri or beginning swim clinic.

Indoor tri or aqua bike and beginner swim clinic

I decided to do an indoor aqua bike this Saturday at the Provo Rec Center(my plantar prevents me from running right now.) Those of you who tri are welcome to continue on to the treadmill and do an indoor tri.  My plan is to do a 1 mile swim at race pace and then to do a leisurely non timed transition into biking clothes for a timed 24.8 mile spin on a stationary bike.  I would love to have some company and maybe meet a few crazies if anyone thinks this might be enjoyable.  My season sort of took a detour in August so I haven't done anything at race pace for a while.  I think it will be good for me.

As a warm up I thought I might do a beginner swim clinic for any one who is just starting out swimming.  Full disclosure: I am a middle of the pack swimmer who was a real beginner not long ago.  If you are really flailing in your swimming I may be able to help.  At least I'm willing to share what I've found.

If you have interest, comment on here or just show up at the lap pool Saturday at 8:30 am for the clinic and 9:15 for the 'race'.

Open Water Swim

I will hold an open water swim on Saturday but only if I get a commitment from at least one person to do the swim.  Please respond on here or on facebook if you want to come.  It will be at the Spanish Fork Reservoir at 12:30 pm.

Remember masters swim tonight at the Provo Rec Center at 7 pm

Masters Swim at Provo Rec

Come swim at the Provo Rec tonight at 7 pm.  I went last week and know this will be a great way to improve your swimming, I'm a middle of the pack swimmer and I'm super excited about the coaching I got there and the potential for improving my swim portion.

There seems to be some interest in open water swims.  Would anyone like to do a reservoir swim Saturday around 12:30?  Please respond on here.  I probably am wimpy enough to not take the plunge alone.  I could arrange a kayak for safety if we feel it is needed.

Monday, September 16, 2013

Discussion Topic: high intensity interval training for the time crunched?

I'm working a lot right now so what little time I have for excersize I'm trying to make it mean something.  Today the core of my work out on my bike was eight 30 second intervals going as hard as I could seperated by eight 30 second intervals of recovery.  I imagine I could do this swimming and running too but lately its just been biking.  Can I at least maintain my fitness, going from working out  say 9 hours a week to working out an hour and a half?  Any experience with this?  Anybody have any tips on being able to handle these workouts?  They are pretty miserable, I always feel like throwing up afterwards. Not pleasant.

Please I would welcome your thoughts.

FAQ's about Nebo Tri Club

I just wanted to answer a few questions about the club.

1. we are just getting this thing going so the only cost of membership is that you show up at a workout or event mentioned on the blog or facebook.  There will be a fee later as we get going. think spring.

2. there is nothing to sign up for to be a member we are just looking for participation. so sign up by showing up.

3. we don't have regular club meetings right now but that will probably change.  our posted workouts are our meetings.  look for a meet and greet social event before year end. we were originally meeting at the spanish fork pool for swim workouts with Courtney and hopefully that will happen again next summer.

4. we are very much by the people for the people.  if you want the club to offer something join in and make your wishes known.

5. future plans include seminars on all aspects of triathlon, regular training sessions, social events built around the triathlon lifestyle, selecting specific triathlons that  club members train for so we can support each other at those events, we hope to sponser a newbie triathlon series next summer, training events to get you through the winter and really anything you want your tri club to be.

the club is just a seedling, it will and can grow into something great, I hope to see you at the next workout.

bric workout Wednesday July 3rd

I'm planning a bike-run workout for Wednesday.  Meet at the spanish fork h. s. track parking lot at  6:30 a.m.  We will do an out and back 13 miles each way.  It will be conversational speed on the way out and if anybody wants to let it fly on the way back, good on you.  If you want to shorten the ride do so. 

We will then return to the track and do whatever length run you desire.  My running is still in question so I will be run/walking.  I hope somebody joins us.  If you think you might, would you let me know in the comment section.
