Bridgewater Triathlon Club

BTC member Cliff Worden-Rogers is currently preparing for IM70.3 Southern California and took part in a 5 day pro triathlon camp hosted by his coaching company — LIFESPORT — during the week of February 15, 2010 in Victoria, BC.

He chronicled his experience, you can read his notes from each day by clicking on the Responses at the bottom of this post.

Thinking about some new gear for 2010? Gotta clean out the old before you bring in the new???

There will be a gear swap, exchange, sale at the Fieldhouse on Saturday March 6 from 1-3pm in the conference room.

Nita’s Reruns will be there and she has an excellent selection of name brand sports gear (running tops, shorts, bike shorts, swim suits, etc.) at very reasonable prices.

Checkout your gear locker and see what’s ready to be recycled.

It is open to everyone and there are no charges. There will be tables in the room you can use for display.

Many thanks to Tammy Slauenwhite for leading the strength and stretch sessions at the HB Studios Sports Centre during January and February.

She also setup a 20 week check-off sheet here

Let the games of the 1st Wintathlon begin!  A beautiful sunny day for a rousing game of ball hockey

Many goals were scored.

And a triumphant moment for a TO fan (there aren’t many, but they are so sweet when they come

In the second event of the day, Andrew demonstrates that he doesn’t need water to be a shark!

Good fun, great weather, lots of food … perfect!

More photos from the Wintathlon are in the Club’s photo album.
