Saturday Morning (05.31.14) Island Lake Training Session

I'll plan to be there. I'm good for the swim as I am without a bike for the weekend.
I am new to OWS - what are the necessities? I plan to swim with my tri tank and shorts under the wetsuit to mirror my race day in a few weeks. (and goggles) Anything else?

Some people like to wear a swim cap but other than that you've got it covered. I would recommend a towel and some sandals for the hike back to trout lake.

Thanks.

I have never been to that particular area... just to make sure I know where to go, correct me if this is wrong: I'm coming from the East - so I'll take 96 West and get off at exit 151 onto Kensington Road, head South / then hang a Left on State Parkway (Kent Lake Beach Road)? Follow that down to the parking lot on the left?

I think I'm planning to be there again.
Saturday June 3rd. 8am.

I think there is a group from Level Multisport that will be there too.
It was a great time last Saturday... any I'm 1 week out from Belle Isle. I need the OWS.

Hey Bruno,

Kelly and I will be there again.  See you there!

You mean tomorrow (06.07.14) right?

ha. Why did I think today is June 2nd?

Yes- I meant Saturday June 7th.
man I need to start going to bed earlier...

see you all tomorrow.

Hey guys! If you make it out again this Saturday, let me know. (Although I realize you might be taking it easy before Motor City.)

I'll off to the races on Sunday - so Saturday is going to be consumed with getting everything ready. checking in and attending grad parties.
Perhaps June 21st.

Question: does anyone know of a good Saturday Sprint in August or September?? I'm looking for what's next.
Thanks
Bruno

Anyone heading out to Trout Lake this Saturday, 6/21?

I did it! My first Tri

Overall, it was a blast. I'm looking to do a Sprint or Olympic in August or September... Tiger Lily on Aug 30th or Reeds Lake on Sep 6th.


Swim: 28:27 For the first 500 meter I was freaking out a bit because of the cold and swimming against the current. They said the temp was 66. What? it was WAY colder than Trout and I thought someone said Trout was 62.

Bike 1:10 I borrowed a different bike that Thursday (long story)... so I'd say that was good for me. I came inches from hitting a goose at mile 3 and somewhere around 20 miles a lady walking a dog decided to jet in front of me to cross over the road. I dodged her - but lost a water bottle. (Oh the adventures)

Run 50:26 Ouch. this was the tough part. Everyone has told me 'the run will be easy for you' - so I though I would just fly. That first mile felt like I was running in place! I'll have to work on more bricks.

Anyone planning to be out there this Saturday (July 12)?

Does anyone make it out to Trout Lake during the week? I want to get in an OWS midweek sometime.
I just signed up for the August 30th Gun Lake Tri and the pool is just not doing it for me.

Know of any groups / people out there after work?
Bruno

Will anyone be out at the Lake Saturday August 23rd??
