Foothills Feat Triathlon on Sunday

Please support the Foothills Feat local triathlon on Sunday.  The race director is a friend of mine and the race is held at our home pool, the Ridge!  We have been given discounted race entries for our team members and parents!  Please refer to the 2012 race planning presentation on the members only section of the Kids that TRI website for the special codes to use.

Kids that TRI will have our tent set up so remember to stop by, drop your gear and hang out with the rest of the team and family members.  Remember to wear your uniforms if you are participating in the race or any Kids that TRI team clothing to support our team!

Announcements

A few announcements for the team and their parents:

1. If your child is a Kids that TRI RED team member in Tuesday practices, please have them bring their swim cap and goggles to practice on Tuesday, May 29.  They will be practicing transitons and will be getting wet before going to their bike.

2. This is the last week of our Spring Training session.  Our first summer camp begins Tuesday, June 5!

3. Our monthly team fun run, the Rox Run, is on Saturday beginning at 8:00am.  We will begin warm-ups at 7:45am and will begin the 1k first followed by the 3k then the 5k.  All 2012 annual team members, their families and their siblings are encouraged to participate.  While we will time it with stopwatches, this is meant to be a fun run (especially since some of our team members will be doing the Foothills Feat triathlon on Sunday).  The Rox Run will begin very close to where our Roxborough Duathlon for Kids race begins in Roxborough.  To get there, there are two ways: 1) take Wadsworth south to Waterton Road, take a left on Waterton Road until you reach a stoplight; take a right (south) at the stoplight; pass through another stoplight and you will see a row of houses on your right; immediately after the houses, turn into a large parking lot with a gazebo at the southwest corner of it; this is Roxborough Community Park; park here and walk down the hill to the west to the start, 2) you can also access it by going south on Santa Fe to Titan Parkway; turn right (west) on Titan Parkway and continue following it until you reach the first stoplight then follow the directions as listed above.

4. The Foothills Feat triathlon is on Sunday, June 3.  Kids that TRI will have a tent so be sure to stop by, drop your gear off and mingle with other team members and families to support them during the race. 

Monday open water swim

Coach Bob will be swimming on Monday (Memorial Day) at the Gravel Pond at 5pm for about 1 hour. This is not a structured practice but if you would like an extra open water swim, please meet him there.  Only Teens that TRI who have wetsuits should swim due to the water temperature.

Ironkids rules

For any team member doing an Ironkids race this year, please be sure you visit the Ironkids website and read the front page, USAT supplemental rules.  Some highlights include no aero bars or aero helmets during any competition.

Team Pre-Season party

Don't forget our Kids that TRI team party to kick off our summer race season is this Saturday at 11:30am at Chatfield State Park.  We have rented a shelter and will come together for this potluck style party to have fun and enjoy each other's company.  Please be sure to RSVP via the email link that was sent out a couple of weeks ago.

Spring training is ending soon

Next Thursday, May 31st, is our last day of our Spring Training session.  Our first 4-week summer camp will begin on Tuesday, June 5th.

All Kids that TRI sessions are full for the summer but there are a few Teens that TRI spots left.  Please refer to the summer camps page for more information about the summer camps.

If you have any questions, please email Coach Bob.
