The final practice in the BTC’s 2011 Fancy Lake series takes place on Wednesday August 17th.  It will be a triathlon (swim/bike/run) with two distances for members to choose from:

  • The ‘Sprint’ is an untimed and includes a 200 metre swim followed by a 5k bike and a 2k run.
  • The ‘Olympic’ distance is timed and consists of a 400 metre swim followed by a 10k bike and a 2k run.

The pre-practice meeting takes place at 6:30 and we’ll start the ‘Olympic’ participants at 6:40pm.  Its meant to be fun and a chance to put together all the pieces we’ve been practicing the last 15 weeks.

There’s a social afterwards with good eats and a chance to share stories.  Many thanks to Morgan Donat – Massage Therapist for providing the draw prize for this practice — a one hour massage … sweet!

Last night’s workout was a practice DUATHLON (run-bike-run) .   Six weeks into our program, it was an opportunity for newcomers to put the pieces together while vets could work on their training.

It was a beautiful night at Fancy Lake for the big turnout … is summer finally here ?!?

This concludes our bike/run bricks and we look forward to adding lake swims as part of the weekly program.

Lots of smiles last night (more photos on our FACEBOOK Group) … none more than Ken pictured above!
