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!

The Bridgewater Triathlon Club held their annual spring tri-camp on Saturday April 16th at various locations around Lunenburg.
Under the careful guidance of Coach Colin, we swam, ran and biked followed by a most delicious supper at Scuttlebutt. Many thanks to Jen for her support.
Congratulations to all the participants … by all measures you’re heading into a good season!

Have you been thinking about a new challenge for 2011??? Perhaps its your year to tackle multi-sports like triathlon (swim-bike-run) and duathlon (run-bike-run).
This year, the Bridgewater Triathlon Club has a program that includes the old favourites (our 16 week summer program at Fancy Lake) plus a number of new things meant to challenge newcomers as well as experienced multi-sport athletes.
