The Beginning of a New Beginning.

Hey Guys!!! I will be presenting you with a workout plan for the next... tomorrow? (01/22/2011)

I'm planning on doing a mini backwards tri. Something simple to start the season with. We will start with a nice little run- ~2mi. Then, we will be biking- ~5mi. And last but not least, the swim. A simple 200yds. This event will approximately begin at 09:00a.m. Meet in front of the P.E. Building a little early por favor. Thank you much :) For any reason, I assure you, do not feel intimidated to come out and get a little fresh air. I will be adjusting the workout the peoples needs (YOU). This is not a time trial and not a regular Saturday event.

Dress somewhat warm. The weather looks as if it will be semi cloudy, nice day overall. If you need to borrow any equipment, we can always find a way to provide.

I am super excited to be a part of this Club, and am always looking forward to train with new people and see what I can learn from them.

If you need to contact me for any more information, do get a hold of me on my cell (435) 590-3948.

Further workout plans for cycling will come as the season kicks off. Thanks everyone!
