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!
