Well, 2016 is coming to a close and so has our racing season. I hope that everyone had a great Christmas and will bring in the new year with a bang. It's about that time to start planning races for 2017 (some have already started), work on weaknesses, and begin training for upcoming spring races.
The last few months of the year were busy for some of our team. We even had two world qualifiers! Jamie Jeansonne qualified for the USAT World Long Course Triathlon Championships with her 2nd place Miami Man finish, and Tim Barry qualified for the USAT World Duathon Championship with his AG finish at the Sprint Duathlon Draft Legal World Qualifiers in New Orleans. Be sure to congratulate these two athletes when you see them.
Also at River Roux 70.3, Summer Mine Marullo and Leslie Reulet-Carrere did the relay with Leslie having the fastest bike split out of the women!
The Tri Cajuns board has been busy planning team events for 2017 to help team members become better athletes. Events being planned are OWS, training classes (Garmin, Injury Prevention, etc.), a spring triathlon camp, and our yearly club meeting. Be sure to check Facebook and the website calendar for these events.
Have fun, be safe, train hard, and we'll see you soon!
I read somewhere recently, professionals recover at around (or under) 50% of their FTP on the bike. That is less impact than walking. Kind of puts it in to perspective. The "hour easy" workouts serve a major purpose if you take the time to monitor your form, and do the little things necessary to get faster.
Upcoming Events - Disclaimer: Events may be cancelled or rescheduled at any time. Please check with the event sponsor, the TriCajuns Facebook page, or this website for updates. We will do our best to post cancellations when we know about them.
