Another triathlon season is here!

New and experienced triathletes are invited to a Welcome/Introduction meeting on Wednesday April 27th from 6:30 to 7:30pm at the HB Studios Sport Centre conference room.

We’ll update you on the membership benefits for 2011 and our plans — including a number of new things — for the Fancy Lake practice.

And if you’ve heard about our new program called ‘My First Triathlon’ — you’ll want to come out and here what its about.  Very exciting!

After a brief talk, there will be a question and answer session plus an opportunity to talk with various members of the club.

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!
