Hey
Gang!
Guess what? Race
season is almost here!!!! There’s almost two feet of
snow on the ground but training will go on! As we watch the
snow slowly melt away it’s time to dream of warmer temps
and outdoor cycling. The trainer is getting old.
So let’s
plan some races. Kick On Triathlon will be ready for action
this year with plans to be set up for your race day support
at these races: Kinetic Half, May 10th; Columbia Triathlon,
May 18th; Culpeper Sprint/International, August 2nd/3rd; and
the Patriot’s Half, September 6th. This schedule is
still subject to change and other races can be added if there
are folks racing other venues. If anyone is interested in
signing up for race day support at these stops email me at
coachbrian@kickontriahtlon.com
and we will get you on the list. Race day support includes:
Kick On Triathlon tent, personal bag drop, and post race refreshments.
Not to mention the company of all the other athletes! Makes
for great post race stories!
As you plan your
race schedule for this season don’t forget to support
a couple of local events. Sadies Race to support Smile Train
will be May 18th. This race is coordinated by Sara Ablard
in memory of her daughter Sadie. It’s a fantastic 5K
run in Purcellville and is always fun so make a note to check
it out. Jenn Dunn has put together the inaugural half marathon
to benefit Ainsley’s Angels. The race will take place
on September 28th and Jenn is still working out course details
but will have the website up soon. But mark the date on your
calendar. Jenn and Sara have both devoted significant time
and energy to putting together these awesome runs so please
show them all the support you can!
Don’t
forget Kick On Triathlon spin classes are still rolling on
at the Unison Store. The next class will be Sunday February
23rd. It will be a three hour spin followed by a thirty minute
run. Drop-ins are welcome and you can come for all or just
part of the class if three hours doesn't interest you! It’s
a great time and running from Unison is great. So let me know
if you wanna come and sweat with us! You can drop me an email
or just show up on Sunday. The more the merrier!!
Race season has
already kicked off for some folks. Congratulations to DeAnna
and Jason Burke, Jenn and Mike Dunn, and Tam and Tom Dunlap!
They just completed the Key West Half Marathon. Not a bad
place to get the race season started…no snow down there!
Way to go guys and I hope the sunburn is all healed up!
And last but not
least good luck to Catherine Cockrill, Kelly Marie Cockrill
and Petra Groat as they get ready to run the Rock N Roll Marathon
and Half Marathon in DC on March 15th. This will be Catherine’s
first marathon and Kelly Marie’s return to marathon
after focusing on triathlon for a few years. Petra Groat will
be competing her first half marathon and plans to use the
race as a stepping stone to her first international distance
triathlon. They’ve put in some great training and are
all amped up and ready to race so good luck and Kick On!
That’s all
for now. Let’s hope this week’s warmer temps clear
out the rest of the snow and outdoor training can begin again!
Let me know if anyone has news they want in next month’s
newsletter so we can get the info out there.
Kick On!
