CTC President’s Report August 2015
Hello CTC Members,
Swim, Bike, Run & Smile
Race Results:
This is a shout out to anybody who has participated in a recent race. We would love to hear from you. Please send me any information on a race you have participated in. This could be as simple as your name and the name of the event, your results or a race report outlining your personal experience.
EVENTS:
Congratulations, CTC successfully defended its title at the Granite Bay Team Championship. Once again you made me very proud to be a member of this club.
The Tinman Tri at Lake Siskiyou was cancelled. However, we have heard that there is a plan to make sure that it is on again for next year. In addition several members showed up for a fun weekend of training and camping.
The Tahoe Ironman full and 70.3 is fast approaching. Good luck to all of you racing and if you are not racing, try to make it up to Tahoe Sept. 20th to cheer your friends on.
CTC had a booth at the Thursday night market on August 6th. Thank you to everyone who made it out to the event.
Training:
Swim at One Mile:
Sadly, due to the conditions at One Mile we will no longer be holding our Friday morning swims. We will keep you updated with any open water swim opportunities that come up.
The River Road TTs:
We had a great year out at the River Road TT. We owe a big thank you to Stephan Ayers and Eric Ayers for putting these events on for us.
The Friday Rides:
Have begun if you are interested please send an email to Shawn Hughes at president@chicotriathlonclub.com. These rides are great for any rider looking for a mellow afternoon spin and or looking for pointers in ride technique.
Open Water Swim:
The Black Butte open water swim practice was a great time. I would like to thank Jeriamee Leeman for helping put on this event.
Runs:
Tony English, is leading a LSD run on Sundays from the bathrooms at 5 mile at 8:00 AM. This is an easy pace 60 min. run.
There is also a LSD run on Saturdays meeting at the 5 mile bathrooms at 8:00 AM.
CTC Track Workout. Warm-ups begin at 5:45 PM at the PV High School Track. We'll follow with stretching, drills, and some coached workouts for runners of all abilities.
On the Third Thursday of the month, many of us head over to El Patron after the track workout for some refreshments. Since we missed out last week, we are having the Thirsty Third Thursday post workout get together tomorrow. El Patron is a Mexican, order-at-the-counter place in the Safeway shopping center on East Ave. It's at the west end near the gas pumps. For those that just want to show up for the food, we'll probably get there between 6:45 and 7:00 PM. (Thanks Greg Watkins)
