Tri 101 was held June 16th at Black Butte. We got a great swim, bike, and run workout on the course of the upcoming race.
Total Body Fitness will be holding their second Tri for Fun of the year on July 14 at Rancho Seco. They have added a team challenge for this race. There will be awards for the fastest team and the team with the most participants. It would be great to see CTC show up and strut our stuff.

Two groups meet at 5:30PM. If you don’t know which group is which, ask!
The Fun 50, which is a no drop ride with a very casual feel. Expect to see speeds at 16-18MPH

At 6:00PM
The Fast 50 meets. This is the fastest ride in town, speeds are hard to predict. but expect to see an average of 24 MPH, with the occasional surge of over 30MPH.
