2013 Triathlon Location - Briggs YMCA

YES, it is that time of year to start thinking about and training for the Relief Society Triathlon!  This year's race will take place on September 21st, 2013 at 7:00 AM, and be located at the Briggs YMCA.  Yes, that means pool swimming again this year, which I know is exciting for many of you.  The swim will also be a little shorter, 300 yards instead of 400.  To complete a full 12 weeks of training, you will want to start by July 1st, but more time is always better! So grab a friend, follow the schedule, and start training.  You have nothing to lose!

  1. I train with weights. If you don't, and want to improve your triathlon performance and general well-being, I suggest you start. As well as the improvements in your triathlon performance, increasing strength and lean muscle mass will be of huge benefit in the rest of your life, and until the end of your life. If you keep those muscles strong into old age, you're far less likely to end up unable to participate in the activities you want to. I don't know about you, but I see people not even 70 years old who are struggling to get out and about. On the opposite side, I see people in their 80's who are extremely fit and active, still cycling, running, swimming, and lifting respectable weight.
