Subject: to the ESCKTC peeps...

I was on your website just recently and I do not see any upcoming training events for any swims. I really need work on OWS (per another post in this forum) and wanted to see if any of you meet at a regular time to do this? If so, I would like to join.

What is the temp of the lake now? I dont own a wetsuit...when is it warm enough to come swim in my jammers?

 

Thanks

AZ Tri Club also hosts regular OWS events at Canyon lake at the Boulder Rec area.  Next one is on Sunday June 26th at 9:30 AM. 

From their email dist: "you will need a parking pass.. you can purchas one at the Dash in. on I88 and Lost Dutchman rd.. We are planning on having our feet in the water at 9:30am .. we will have a Kayak in the water....BUT if you can NOT swim, this is NOT the swim for you... This is a swim at your own risk....

wetsuits may/may not be needed."

Ive been gone a while too and now back and wondered the same thing,  very nice folks that were part of the ESCKTC.  Sportj and Robot were nice enough not to laugh at me during the flatjack 20 K TT where i came in last place(ok i beat an 8 year old girl).  LOL

If you go from the shore to the bridge and then to the 'pipe' and back to bridge and then to shore, it's about a mile.  I have a route that kind of shows it.

I agree it was a great group.  They made some slugs like the Brothers grim feel like a we had a place.  From what I can tell now (through the post) it has become kinda an elite group.  Noobs are on thier own until they become elite.  I could be wrong though, like I said, it's just an opinion formed by lurking here in BT.  I log elsewhere now, but still like seeing what everyone is up to. 

We should have a fat and old training day! Food for thought.

Good to see you guys!!! 

I think that most of the ESCKTC is still around but for some reason there has not been a ton of group training.  I know most of the new people as well and they are not elite.  BT is an awesome spot for all levels and we all just need to start posting our workouts and getting together.  I would really like to bring back the TH night swim and am also interested in a regular weekend ride.  I will try to be better about posting stuff.

I've been sitting out for a while and not checking BT. Took some time off after Oceanside and traveled nearly the entire month of June.

Is there any interest in getting the ESCKTC back together for group runs, rides and swims? My Thursday nights open back up after July 7 and we could start doing Brickapalooza workouts at Saguaro again...

We can also get some training groups together for Mountain Man and the fall races, if folks are so inclined.

And for female triathletes of all levels, check out the Phoenix LUNA Chix Triathlon group. We have group rides, brick workouts, OWS clinics, and other great activities going all summer long.

I only get into the forums here once in a while, but am on FB almost daily. 

azstaterick - 2011-06-21 4:06 PM We moved to fbSmile


There is a group that can be used for making events and having discussions if people do want to get more ESCKTC activity.  Since I moved, I haven't gotten to hang out with most of the crowd, but would love to do more group rides/runs/swims.

Drop on by, we'd love to have you.
