WEEKEND WORKOUTS

We're doing a little switcheroo this weekend! Our long run will be on Saturday morning and the bike will be on Sunday morning! Here is the plan:

SATURDAY: We'll meet for pre-run conversation and coffee at Starbucks at Landfall Center at 6:30a. Arrive early - the run starts at 7:30a! You can customize your mileage and your pace to the beach and back.

SUNDAY: We're meeting at the tennis court parking lot at UNCW for a BIKE-To-RUN brick of the Azalea Triathlon course! Please arrive at 7:00a for bike set-up and a short overview of the course. We will start at 7:30a. Our starting line will be the back door of the natatorium [where we exit the swim on race day]. Whether you walk it or race it, this will be a  great practice for the upcoming competition! The weather looks great for Sunday between 50 - 60 degrees in the morning with a 3mph wind. 

A few rules of the road:

• Please arrive with inflated tires on your bike! If you think you need help, please arrive prior to 7:00am.
• Bring everything you think you will need for the Azalea race, including swim gear, bike gear and run gear. There will be a brief transition clinic after the bike and run. 
• If you are unable to participate, but want to help, please CLICK HERE for more info!
