Veronica Torres (left) thank you for all the miles you have ridden with us over the last few months, the adventures, and great conversation and making your dream of literally riding all day come true. Oh and finding a kitten for Kate Hunt too! May your Ironman Austria race have the best views ever and be the most amazing experience - we are all cheering for you! You have always worked hard but I know for this one you are going to see all that prep come together! Own the day!

This weekend Ben Zondlak isn't racing, he is just out doing his "normal" weekend of training. Last weekend he raced a sprint on Saturday and stood on the podium, posted his best power AVG ever, and then rode his first 100 miler on Sunday. All impressive, but it is what the data didn't tell me that I was most proud of.

After Ben's race on Saturday he went back out on the course to encourage other athletes and cheer for them. THIS is what our sport is about, being supportive and encouraging in ways that not only improve our own lives but also the lives of others! We all have the ability to be kind. I am proud to have Ben on our team setting an example for others!

Tanner Johnson is taking on "The Longest Day" race as I type this. How far will he go? No one knows, but I can guess it will be far since he is focused and dialed in! From baseball to Ultra running this guy does it all and does it well!

Open water swim night THIS Monday at 6:30 PM! I can't promise what the weather be but we swim rain or shine. The only thing that stops us is lightening!

Good luck to Meg Lunsford tomorrow as she takes on the SheTris event in Charlotte. This will be her very FIRST triathlon! I am pretty sure she is hooked on training already. I see big things coming in her future...maybe because they are already on her calendar! Go Meg! I am so proud of the progress you have already made!

With so many fun races going on and athletes traveling all over I sometimes don't even know where to start but this week it is easy! Jessica Jones and Caitlin Abdullah are a mother daughter duo racing Happy Valley 70.3 in PA tomorrow. Team member Christy Kunkle will be joining them too.

Jessica started coaching last year after Caitlin did her first Ironman and she was inspired to get back into racing. Now they get to race together and compare notes on the course. What I can tell you from experience is that both of these ladies know how to work hard and they have some serious power on the bike. It will be fun to see them race each other on the course!

Christy did her last Ironman maybe 15 years ago before persistent knee pain took her out of the sport, but now with a new set of knees she is back in action. Her strength has come back and she is riding better than she has in years. She also has a 3 year old son to chase around so it is important that she stays fit and mobile! Seeing her transformation as an athlete has been inspiring and is a good reminder that where there is a will there is a way!

I have multiple FREE USAT memberships so please let me know if your child needs one. Every child will need to be a member of USAT for insurance purposes.

Bikes:
I have some small road bikes that I am willing to loan out for the season, just let me know if your child needs one.

Coaches:
Katie Malone - USAT Level II
Kaitlin Holman - Strength and Conditioning Coach for youth

Goal of this group:
To provide a SAFE environment for youth to explore the sport of triathlon and gain the skills needed to compete and not just complete. Have fun, build friendships and bond through the sport!

🚨 Don't Be Left Sitting on the Dock! 🚨

Open Water Swim Season is in full swing, and we're having a blast at the lake! Every other week we have a different workout planned, and the more swimmers who show up, the more fun it becomes.

πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ This week's challenge: How Far Can You Go?
We'll follow the buoy trail for a continuous endurance swim and see what we're capable of. Whether you're training for your next race or just looking to build confidence in open water, this is a great opportunity to get some quality swim time with friends.

⏰ Schedule:
β€’ 6:30 PM – Quick drills and technique work
β€’ 6:40 PM – 50 minutes of continuous swimming begins
Not ready for 50 minutes nonstop? No problem! Stay near the dock, focus on technique, and make a few trips out to the 200m buoy. Every swimmer is welcome, and every level has a place in the workout.

Come challenge yourself, enjoy the lake, and be part of the fun. Bring a friend, encourage a teammate, and let's see how far we can go together!

πŸŠβ€β™€οΈπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ See you at the lake!

The only bad swim is the one you didn't show up for.

Good luck to Paul Heitmann and Aimee Jennifer tomorrow as they race 70.3 Victoria. I know Paul has put in the work and that Coach Heath Dotson has Aimee ready too!

Fun Fact: Paul drove their camper all the way across the country to Victoria with their 2 dogs and Aimee flew out to meet them What an epic adventure! After the race they will be exploring National Parks together.
