We had so much FUN on Saturday spinning our Hearts out for our future Olympians. Everyone reported how motivating it was to not only get the average watts up but also to try to keep them up for 90 minutes!! It was tough but we had such a blast doing it!! We pumped out 2715 average watts and raised $2715 just from that effort on Saturday. Our final fundraising efforts will be announced shortly, as those that could not make it to the class were given permission to submit their avg watts from their weekly rides. The numbers are still rolling in.
AT THE RACES!!
Those who were not spinning on Saturday were out competing at all kinds of races!! Congratulations to everyone who participated!!

I love the accountability and the structure of the Virtual 70.3 Half Ironman training program. I don't think I would have gotten this far without the program. The accountability is huge for me!

My coach Kevin Willis is amazing. His swim practices have been a real game-changer for me. A great communicator regardless of your swim level. The whole club is supportive of everything you do. You don't need to be an Ironman to benefit from their programs. 5 stars all around!!! - Denise Pittuck
I just wanted to thank you and your team (Gabi! Brenda! Maggie! Dawn!) for making last weekend's event so amazing. I had tried to do a try-a-tri on my own last summer, and the experience was night and day.
Even though I didn't make every virtual session, I felt so prepared... I knew where to go for information, and I knew I had a team of people (coaches and our beginner tri group!) who were all there to support me.
It was interesting to watch Eric train on his own (without access to the TrainingPeaks workouts and without the weekly meetings to ask questions and learn more about proper form and race-day stuff). When we left on Sunday, he looked at me and was like "we're DEFINITELY doing the training with Julia if we decide to go for the olympic distance, right?".
So glad to have found this club and looking forward to many more triathlons in the near future!!! Tai Teleso
