Sun bike, 10am, Lake Crabtree Park

Sorry the swim clinic with Andy fell through for this weekend. I'll try to schedule one for next weekend. In its place, let's do the bike course of the Triangle Triathlon (15mi). I'm up for jogging part of the run course afterwards too. This is a *great* opportunity to familiarize yourself with the bike route. Let's try to beat the heat, and meet at the parking lot near the Old Beech Nature Trailhead in Lake Crabtree County Park (see the map on pg. 4).

Here's the bike route in gmaps pedometer. Big hills!

Don't forget: Duke Family Fun Run TOMORROW, 8:20am

Let's meet at the check in area around 8:20am tomorrow morning. It looks like they have parking set up on the West side of Science Drive. Park there (be sure to follow signs for the Duke Children's Classic, I think there may be some other event happening near Wallace Wade tomorrow too, so don't get confused). Cost is $2. You can sign up race day as well.

Race this week! Sat, 5/19, 8:20am, Duke, 5K

Don't forget to register for this Saturday's 5K Duke Family Fun Run/Walk. Cost is $2.

Let's meet near the check in area at 8:20am to give us plenty of time to check in, warm up, stretch, etc. (and be late, ahem). Start time for the run is 9am, but registration closes at 8:45. It's along the Al Buehler trail. When you park, tell them it's for the "Children's Classic".

SUN bike, date change

Yeah, so the weather looks ominous for a long bike ride tomorrow. So we'll postpone til Sunday. I'm not sure if anyone else is able to come. But you can count on Jack and I to be there.

Sunday, 5/13, 10:30am
Eno River State Park, Cole Mill Parking Lot
Biking, 24mi.

See route.

biking Sat -- or Sun??

With it storming outside, it seems prudent to check the weather forecast. Looks like it may rain on Saturday, but the forecast for now is clear for Sunday. I'll change the time if necessary Friday...

Maybe Sat??, 10:30am, biking, Eno River

Let's have a reprise of the Eno River bike ride. We didn't get to do the whole thing last time, so let's try it again. See the old post for details on the route.

Meet at the Eno River Cole Mill parking lot.
Saturday, 5/12, 10:30am
Stay tuned for changes due to weather possibly...

Upcoming Training Sessions

So here's my rough plan from now til the Triangle Triathlon (7/8) (about 8 weeks). Everything except for the races hasn't been scheduled in stone yet; I was thinking of just staging the events some time during the weekend. Let me know if a particular weekly time works better for you (e.g. Sun mornings), or if you prefer weekday evenings. It looks like we've only got 3 swim clinics (including tonight's). If you want more, let me know.
Tue, 5/8, 6pm, swimming w/ Andy
Sat, 5/12, 10am, biking near the eno
Sat, 5/19, 9am, Duke Family Fun Run, 5K
Sat/Sun, 5/26, swimming w/ Andy??
Sat/Sun, 6/2, practice duathlon -- we do the Triangle Triathlon bike course, then run part of the run course.
Sat, 6/9, 7:15am, Race for the Cure, 5K
Sat/Sun, 6/16, swimming w/ Andy??
Sat/Sun, 6/23, Mini-triathlon -- we'll set up our own course
Sat, 6/30, easy run, social at my house
Sun, 7/8, Triangle Triathlon
Not doing the Triangle Triathlon? Don't worry, neither am I, I'll worry about July/Aug's schedule for the Hillsborough triathlon when the time gets closer.

Biking -- This Sun, 10 am, Eno River SP

Meet at the Eno this Sunday for a relaxed (read: slow) 24mi ride. Specifically, let's meet at the Cole Mill Parking lot (see highlighted area on map) at 10am.

The route is courtesy of the North Carolina Bicycle Club. I've also mapped it out roughly using this neat pedometer program. You can even check out the changes in elevation along the route! Cool. The ride Sunday looks like it's pretty even, aside from a few hills to start with.
