wildflower clinic update





The Tri Season is just around the corner and hopefully your training is going well. I spent a day at Lake San Antonio with Tri Cal and a documentary production company last week that is filming the first 3D documentary about triathlon and was scouting camera locations for the 30th Wildflower Triathlon events. There will be 12 camera persons during the Wildflower weekend to document the event. Meredith and Collen from Tri Cal were there to support the crews and athletes during the day. Tri Cal also provided food and swag that was quickly consumed. The 30th anniversary hats and visors were hot items. With the Central Coast Tri Sport clinic coming up on March 10th it's a great time to preview and train on one of the great courses. Expect the water temperature to be in the mid 60's-Sorry! I was in the water 30 minutes and my feet and lips were numb. For the long course athletes we will be riding the entire bike course with a water stop half way at the North shore side. Tri Cal will provide Powerbar gels and Gatorade drinks that you will be using on the course race day. No one will be left behind but you should be able to hold around 16 MPH for the 56 mile bike ride. If there's time when we arrive back to transition we will run a short brick. For the athletes that would like to run additional miles after the break we can run a portion of the long course. There will be a bike transition set up for you to rack your bike. Be sure to bring your warm biking and running gear that you can layer off and a dry change of clothes. The weather forecast looks favorable but we will train rain or shine. The long course will be a sell out if you haven't signed up yet. This is going to be a great year your not going to want to miss. Keep it rolling.
