Northern Kentucky Training?

Welcome! I recommend Tri for Joe in late May at Coney Island in Cincy for a starter.  It was my first tri and got me hooked.  It's well ran, has excellent support, and a party like atmosphere.  The bike and run are flat, so it's not too hard and is a good confidence builder.  The water was about 60 degrees, though.  The cold literally knocked my breath out of me.  I haven't seen the listing for 09 yet.  Good luck and enjoy.

OK SO LOOK GUYS-GALS-

I'm looking for riding and running partners groups. In union and florence hills I run 9 min to 9:30.

I bike 16.5 to 17 mph. I go from 12 to 30 miles . My goals are longer group rides . I have been riding for 20 years off and on . I want to do more du's . Maybe later try tri's.

So what do u say?

 Live in castle bluff next to union reserve end of rice pike. 

From my house to rabbit hash and back-26 miles

From my house round the block 12 miles

From my house down camp ernst to platation poinnt to 42 back 14 miles

I am also a Silverlake member and new to triathlons.  I will be doing the Tri for Joe as my first this year!  Would love to get a tri club going in Northern KY.  Please let me know.

Thanks!

I did the Wednesday night rides from Central Park on Camp Ernst last year.  Loads of fun!

Sounds great!  My husband and I are taking a swimming class downtown but I am itching to get out on the bike more!

Have a message board license and we'll get this thing started. I'm a definate beginner but have found that endurance training (other than bike riding) can be a little boring, so this would be a perfect oppritunity I think to push each other.

Natalie - nope, people generally don't wear wetsuits for a pool-based swim.  In fact, the water temp may be high enough that they wouldn't be legal anyway.

Otherwise, have fun - that pool swim looks kind of fun - definitely not the norm.  Most are time trial starts (one at a time) in a serpentine fashion up and down the lanes. 

Good luck!

ETA: Actually, on the site is says that wetsuits ARE permitted.  Over 700M they may make a difference.  And I found the photo site.  Sure looks like a lot of folks chose to wear a wetsuit!!!

Hi,
 
I have recently moved to Union, KY with my wife. I am keen to get back into Triathlon's and Dualthlon's.
 
I have completed the Sprint Triathlon and and planning on training so I can compete in some local triathlons. I would like to train and get fit enough for a 70.3 iron man.
 
I saw this thread and was wondering whether you managed to get a club started?

Well, judging by the lack of response I would guess the answer to be no.

It would likely be a 30-40 minute drive to most of their training sites (or longer), but check out www.cincyexpress.org

Yeah, check out cincyexpress.org They train in Cincinnati, north of town at Caesars and out at East Fork. They also run their weekly runs out of Newport. There are several people located in NKY that train together as well. Great support at races too. Having teammates' support can be a huge boost as you are getting started in the sport. They have some horses too. IMWC qualifiers, ITU short/long distance qualifiers, HalfMax qualifiers, 70.3 WC qualifiers, etc. Good group.
