Happy training for the week of 3/11.
First General Meeting of the Year: Thanks to all who came and made the first general meeting of the year a success. We talked about upcoming club races and events, the new summer workout schedule (detailed below), and triathlon training principals. We then split into groups that focused on sprint, olympic, and long distance racing, including training plans for the Black Butte Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons in June. The training plans, developed by Shaun Molina, have been posted to the Training page of the website.
Christmas in March: As you know, the time changed this week, an event otherwise known as Christmas for Triathletes. The extra daylight means the debut of the summer workout schedule. The current lineup of workouts has been posted to the Workouts page of the website. Please keep in mind that workouts are normally confirmed a day or two in advance on the Yahoo group.

Tri-Suits & Cycling Kits: CTC is once again partnering with Voler Cycling Apparel to offer high quality Tri-Suits and Cycling Kits designed especially for the club. Those that ordered the cycling kits last year can attest to their very high quality, comfort, and just plain cool look (can't tell you how many compliments we've received from the cycling community on them). We're also going with Voler for tri suits this year, and you can order either one piece or two piece styles. The order window is open now and closes on March 18th. All ordering is done online, but we have fit samples for all the items at North Rim, 178 E. 2nd St. in downtown Chico, so you can try them on to ensure a perfect fit. Complete instructions for the ordering process can be found here. Please direct any questions about uniforms to Sean Molina (training@chicotriathlonclub.com).
Chico Kidney Biathlon: The first annual Chico Kidney Biathlon will take place Saturday, March 23 at 8:00 AM at the Hooker Oak Recreation Area. The event consists of a 5k Run followed by a 10k Bike and has individual and team categories. The organizers have generously offered a $20 discounted registration for any current CTC member.
