Max Bell is unavailable tonight, so don’t show up for track practice! Coach Tom will be doing an extra long strength session, so check your email for the Zoom link.
Track Practice February 15 cancelled
This week’s track practice has been cancelled, due to a track meet at the field house. Coach Tom has put in a workout for Wednesday that you can hopefully do at another indoor track, like Dakota Fieldhouse, or outside if this nice weather holds.
See you next week at the track!
Holiday workouts
Our swim workouts have ended for the year, but they’ll be back on January 7th at Boni-Vital pool. Attendance at the swim is almost as good as at the track! Let’s see if we can beat it!
Max Bell is available Dec. 28th – make sure you respond to Coach Tom and let him know if it’s worthwhile to have a workout that day. And of course, Zoom is always available for the bike. It’d be great to work off some of that holiday food.
And the executive has some ideas coming up for a New Year’s get together!

Our training season runs from November to the end August. As hosts of the event, members are required to volunteer at the Triple Threat Birds Hill triathlon in early June. We have regular social activities and offer a weekend Training Camp in the spring.
In-person training will follow government Covid-19 protocols of the day if/when in effect.

Back to in person workouts
We’ve been extremely cautious during the Omicron outbreak and paused on in person workouts at Max Bell and the pool. But now they’re back. Starting Wed., Feb 2nd, we will meet at Max Bell for track from 6:00 – 7:30. Sat., Feb 5th is the first day for swimming at the Active Living Centre from 1:30 – 2:30. Watch your email for full details.
And here’s some of the activities we were doing over the holidays.
Track Time Trial Coming up
Only one more week of practice before our 3k or 5k time trials at the track. This week it was 800 m repeats; next week it’s 1k. My legs are tired just thinking about it.
Swimming is back on for Dec. 4th. Watch your email for the location of the next long run on Sunday. If you have any special requests for a location, please let Kate know.
