Interval runs are an effective way to increase your speed and are an important component in a run program.  It is a hard effort so there is an increased chance of injury.  The workouts start with an easy warm-up, followed by a hard main set and then a cooldown.  There is an optional group stretch at the end.

Do you want to pool swim this fall?  We’re proposing three separate swims at emOcean in Lunenburg.  They’ll proceed if we can get enough people.  Each swim will be one hour long and run for 10 weeks (start mid October) .  The options:

• Open swim — basic lane swim, no set structure – Sunday nights from 6-7pm
• Coached swim — lane swim with structure by the on-deck coach – Wednesday nights from 6-7pm
• Learn to swim — meant for anyone just getting into swimming, there will be individual instruction/supervision – Wednesday nights from 7-8pm

We need to let emOcean know by Saturday Aug 27th how much pool time we expect to use this fall, so if you are interested in any of the above, please send an email to bridgewatertriclub@gmail.com.  These swims are open to everyone,  Cost will be determined by the number of people that participate. (typically $8/swim/week)

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!
