Interested in playing a role in what the Cape Cod Triathlon Team does this year? Join us this Saturday at noon in Orleans to help set the 2010 agenda for the team. Activities already on the calendar include finalizing the spring training camp, scheduling the Long Pond practice triathlons, updating team gear, and spinning up our regularly scheduled weekly training sessions. Come with ideas and enthusiasm! For more information and directions, contact Andy Scherding.

Join us at Long Pond in Brewster to practice your triathlon. A pond swim, 10 mile bike, and 3.6 mile run on the Rail Trail will get you ready for that upcoming sprint, whether it’s TimeOut! Productions Sprint 1 in Hyannis next weekend or elsewhere. But don’t feel constrained by what we’ve setup. Use this event to practice your transitions, do a weak leg over and over, or double the legs for an Olympic distance training race. Start time is 8:00AM and we request that all participants become members of the Cape Cod Athletic Club. For more information, read this flyer and check out the race course.

For all those interested or already registered for the Tri-team training camp, here’s the tentative schedule. A more accurate schedule will be posted in the week before the camp and the final version will be handed out at check-in on Friday evening. Register on-line or mail in this form.

CCAC and the Cape Cod Triathlon Team announce a spring training camp to be held the weekend of 29-31 May. The camp will feature two days full of training activities including group rides, coach led swims, and trail and bike path runs, and informal seminars on stretching, strengthening, nutrition and other topics that suit the campers’ fancies. You can register on-line now or mail the registration form today. Not just for tri-geeks, pop in at any time for a run, swim or group bike ride and then explore the park. After a tough day of training, you’ll gather around the campfire to share race and training stories over roasting marshmallows.  Headquartered at Dream Day on Cape Cod’s Nan-Ke-Rafe camp in the back of Nickerson State Park, campers have the option of staying in a private or group cabin, pitching a tent, or just stopping in for the day. For more information, contact Andy Scherding at (508) 246-6664. Additional proceeds of the event will be donated to the Cape Cod Athletic Club and Dream Day on Cape Cod.

Join us at YPD HQ on Higgins Crowell Road on Wednesday 11 March at 6:30pm for a quick tour of the facility and gym and then we’ll sit down to a spring meeting for the Tri Team. We’ll talk about racing, getting new race kit, sponsorships, and other triathlon goodies. First-timer or long-course veteran, all are welcome.
