Weekday Runs

I think we will temporarily suspend the weekday runs until we have more interest. So let us know when and where you would like to run and we can start up again. Some have expressed interest in going a little earlier. Is there still interest in that? And what about a weeknight track workout? Just let us know in the comments section.

Saturday Workout

Saturday March 1 we will do a run and ride.

Meet at 8 am at Classic Sports for the run. You can go anywhere from 1 to 15 miles. As always, we will have Gatorade and water at Classic Sports and out on the course. I will do a water drop at 3 miles out. If you want more, let me know.

Meet at 9:30 at Over the Edge Sports for the ride. You can do 5 to 25 miles or more. We will have Gatorade at the Over the Edge to fill your bottles.

Hope to see some of you there.

Weekday runs

We'd like to know your interest in the weekday runs. We haven't had a very good turnout. I know some need to go earlier and many like to go later.

What would you like to do for weekday workouts? When? Where? What type of workouts?


Let us know in the comments at the end of this post.

Saturday Run

This Saturday's workout will be a run. Meet at the La Verkin Stake Center (behind Chevron) at 8 am.
Come to run 1 mile or 15. There will be Gatorade and water.

Thanks to those who came to last week's run. It was fun.

Saturday Workout

We are going to have an organized run and ride on Saturday, February 16.

We will meet at Classic Sports at 8 am for the run. We will have water and Gatorade on the course and at Classic Sports for members. The chosen course will accommodate many abilities. You can run from 1 mile to 15. If you are planning on doing more than 10, let us know before hand so we can make sure we have water out there for you. (use the "comments" link at the end of this post or email one of us.)

The ride will start at 9:30 (or 10 if more of you prefer that, just let us know). We will meet at Over the Edge Sports (corner of 100 S and 100 E). Gatorade will be provided (bring a water bottle to carry it). You can ride anywhere from 5 to 25 miles (or more). I will probably do a 21 mile loop.

Join us for one or both of the activities. Hope to see some of you there. And don't forget, if you come to a workout, you are entered in the race entry giveaway. Click here for more info on that giveaway.

Couple of Upcoming Races

St. George is putting on a couple of races soon.

The Spectrum 10K is on Saturday, March 15. Space is limited and they expect to fill up by mid-February. Click here for more details and to register.

SHAC Triathlon features a kid's, beginner, and sprint triathlons. It will be held on Saturday, April 19. The beginner triathlon would be a great first triathlon. They are all in a swimming pool (hoorah!!). They are inexpensive for triathlons, as well. Click here for more info or to register. I want to do this one and would love to know if anyone else has interest. Let me know.

There are links to many of the local upcoming races on the sidebar. If there are any races that I am missing, let me know. I update it, so check periodically for new races.

Good Job Meghan!

Jazmine, Whittni, Whitney, Meghan

Meghan Holmes ran the Dam 2 Dam on Saturday and sent me pictures and a race report:

"Hey me and Whitney Spendlove ran the race. I got a p.r. of 45:18, from last years 46:48; so I beat my time by a minute and a half. I got 3rd place in the 19-24 year olds. Whitney got 50:26 and 3rd in her age 15-18. The pictures I sent are of me and Whit, and the Slama girls" (Whittni and Jazmine Slama are also members of the Club).

Dam 2 Dam Reminder

Don't forget the Dam 2 Dam 5 mile run Saturday at 10. Meet at Classic Sports at 8:15 if you want to carpool to Sand Hollow.

Summer Games Triathlon

Registration is open for the Summer Games Triathlon which will be held on June 14 at Sand Hollow State Park. The is the second triathlon of the St. George Trifecta. The other two are St George Tri on May10 (already full) and Kokopeli on Sept 20.

Utah Summer Games Triathlon is the cheapest of the three ($50 for individuals, plus $10 for USAT membership, or $90 for relay teams).

I think it would be fun if we had a group doing it. If anyone is interested in doing it as an individual or as a relay let us know. We can start doing some fun training workouts for those who are interested.

Space is limited so register quickly.
