Saturday Workout

Run
We will run on Saturday. Meet at 7:30 at Hurricane High School. Park next to the tennis courts. We will carpool up to the start of the Half-marathon course in Virgin.

You can run as far as you want down. I plan to run to the Chevron in La Verkin (9.5 miles). Ty is planning on doing the full13. But you can run whatever you want. We will have drinks out on the course.

Bike
No planned bike unless there is interest. I could go either way.

Open Water Swim
I am interested in doing an open water swim. I was thinking of about 2. Let me know who is interested. We can swim at Quail or Sand Hollow.

St George Marathon

Don't forget to register for the St. George Marathon.

It will be held on Saturday October 4. It is a ton of fun and if you are thinking of doing it, now is the time. We will have some great marathon specific workouts this summer and when you train with others, it makes the training much easier.

Washington County residents are guaranteed entry into the marathon, but you must register by May 1.

Workouts for Week of April 21

We will not have an organized run this week because of the SHAC triathlon. We are going to start up morning workouts again though, and add a Wednesday night track workout.

So starting for the week of April 21 we will have the following workouts:

• Tuesday April 22 we will meet at Classic Sports at 5:45 am for a run,

• Wednesday April 23 at 6:15 pm at HHS track for a speed workout
  
• Thursday April 24 at 5:45 am at the La Verkin Stake Center for a run
  
• Saturday April 26 at 8 am at Classic Sports for a run and 10:30 at Over the Edge Sports for a ride and we may even throw in an open water swim. Check back for details on that one.

Now I am throwing out times that work for me, but if you need to go earlier or want different days, let me know and we can change things up. So let's try these for a week and see if they work.

Join us when you can and check the blog (www.hurricanerunners.blogspot.com) during the week in case we make any changes to the workouts.

Hurricane Half-Marathon

Early registration is almost over for the Hurricane Half-marathon and 5K. Registration is $30 for half and $20 for 5K before April 20.

Register at the Hurricane City offices. Click here for a registration form. Or click here for online registration at active.com.

Saturday Workout?

Ty and I will be participating in the SHAC triathlon on Saturday, so we won't be available to lead a workout.

Do you still want one?


Does someone want to volunteer to lead it? All it takes is telling me where you want to run and showing up to lead the runners. I will get you the drinks and put out drinks on the course? Just email me or comment on this post if you are willing to lead the run.

Thanks.

Open Water Swim

We had a fun swim. The water wasn't all that cold and the weather was great. Four of us swam and overcame our initial fear of the open water. We had a wave runner protecting us as we swam, thanks Patti.

We will have more open water swims in the future so join us next time.

I am setting up the open water swim for Saturday at 2:30 pm. I think we should meet at 2:15 at Classic Sports to carpool over to Sand Hollow.

The water is cold, so wet suits are a must. As of April 4 the water temp was 52 degrees. Bring a bright swimming cap to wear so you are highly visible.

We are also looking for a canoe to help keep track of swimmers. Does anyone have one that they would be willing to share? Let me know if you do 635-4486 or edansie@gmail.com. And thanks to Patti, we have a canoe. thanks.

Saturday Run

We will meet at 8 am at Classic Sports on April 12 for this week's run. I know many of you will be participating in the Run 4 Kids at Coral Canyon, but if you aren't then, come join us.

We will have water and Gatorade.

Bring a friend. If you are new, come and see what we are all about.

Beat the Banker 4.01K

Congratulations to all who participated in the Beat the Banker 4.01 K on Saturday. It was a blast. There was a great turnout of 88 runners plus 25 bankers, I think. It was great to see so many club members there.

I had a great time. I beat all but four bankers, but was soundly beat by club member, Jazmine S. Way to go girl! I enjoyed the short, fast course and the 4 delicious brownies at the end. Earning 5 bucks back was also a great bonus.

Thanks to Terry Tucker for a great race!

What did you think and how did your race go? Email me a race report or just comment at the end of this post.

Open Water Swim

For those who are in training for a triathlon or who just want some open water swim practice, we are trying to set up an open water swim workout. We will swim at Sand Hollow Reservoir and will most likely have a canoe out with the swimmers.

Who is interested and when are you interested in doing it? I was thinking on Friday late afternoon or Saturday anytime after noon.

Let me know what interest there is and when will work for you and we will get that set up.

Weekday Runs

There has been some expressed interest in getting the weekday runs started up again. Email me (edansie@gmail.com) or comment on this post with the time and day you may want to run on weekdays.

Some have expressed interest in a 5 or 5:30 morning run. Any more takers there?

I would be interested in a evening track workout one day of the week, maybe 6 or 6:30. Any takers there?

Let us know what your interest is and we can get those started up again. Remember this club is for everyone, no matter what your running ability. We want to get lots of us out there running.

Ride on Saturday?

Is anyone interested in doing a bike ride sometime after the Beat the Banker? I am. So, if there are others, we can do a group ride in the afternoon. Let me know and I will set it up.

Race instead of Run

This Saturday, April5, we will not have an organized run because hopefully, most of you will be participating in the Beat the Banker 4.01 K. The race starts at 9 am and there is still time to register. I think if you register today it is only $10. After April 1 it is $20. So come join us at the race and see how many bankers you can beat.
