I was asking Alison today what she thought about starting a triathlon club out of CFC.  We thought it would be a good idea to put it out on the forum and see what the people think?  I think it would be great to get some people together that are interested in running Tri’s and doing some sport specific training at least once a week.  I know we have some talented swimmers and runners in the gym.  As well as a world class cyclist amoung us. It would also be pretty cool to have a “show of force” at some of the local Triathlon Events.  Anyways, let me hear your ideas.

Hmmm, interesting idea. I know one of the things I would LOVE to do in the same vein as Tri’s would be the team adventure races. There are short, medium and long events that we could prep for a compete in from time to time. One of the promoters that is doing well these days is Big Blue Adventure Race Series - http://www.bigblueadventure.com/pub/main.asp?daPageID=237

Let’s kick around the idea a bit. I know we are towards the latter half of the season now, but we could start laying some groundwork for the next one. We have a hellaciously talented pool of all-around athletes in the box in all disciplines. If you have some thoughts or want to be part of the organization process for this, chime in on this forum.

The Granite Bay Triathlon (.75 mi swim, 13 mi ride, 5 mi run) and Duathlon (2 mi run, 13 mi ride, 5 mi run) is Sunday September 26th. I myself will not be particiapating - I’d rather punch myself in the face than run 5 miles! But my Casey is registerd for it, so I will be there. I’d love to cheer some of you on, then maybe I’ll join you next year - Maybe!

I totally dig the idea of a CFC Triathlon/Endurance team.  It would be great to meet up for an endurance WOD.  I agree…there are definitely some great brains to pick at CFC!!!
