NEMO Triathlon Practice Days!

There are two opportunities (so far) to practice for the NEMO Triathlon scheduled for September 11, 2011. The 1st opportunity will be Wednesday, August 17 at 5:30pm and the 2nd will be Saturday, August 27 at 8:00am. See more details below.

Per Jason Shaw - 1st Opportunity:

 

Hello Multisporters,

Depending on the weather, bike night will include practice on the second transition as well as a little running. We will meet on "The Point" at Thousand Hills State Park at 5:30pm. This is where the transition area is for the NEMO triathlon and can be see from the Marina.

From "The Point" we will do the following Brick workout:

20 minute bike at race pace out-and-back (since it is uphill at the beginning, you'll want to go 11 minutes or more out since it will take less time to get back; we will be biking the NEMO route which goes West from the point and up around the Big Loop)
Transition 2 practice
15 minute run at race pace out-and-back (again, we will be running the NEMO route which means we head north from the point and toward the marina)

7 minute walk recovery/rest

15 minute bike at race pace out-and-back
Transition 2 practice
10 minute run at race pace out-and-back

5 minute walk recovery/rest

10 minute bike at race pace out-and-back
Transition 2 practice
7:30 minute run at race pace out-and-back

Since these are timed out-and-back workouts, everyone (theoretically) should finish at the point around the same time. You should feel free to go at a lighter pace than race pace and also feel free to only do one or two transitions instead of all three.

-----

Per Cherie Bryant - 2nd Opportunity:

 

Kirksville Multisporters:

Want to do a NEMO Tri practice day? How about we meet out at the marina on Saturday, August 27th at 8:00am. We will boat out to the docks and do a couple of laps (roughly 1,200 meters) and then return to the marina to do the bike & run portions. Any takers? If so, please email me (Cherie) at cbryant322@yahoo.com so I will know how many to expect. We'll plan to do it rain or shine; however, if you know me we will NOT be going out if a thunderstorm/tornado is forecasted. Ha!

If you respond on the KVMS Facebook page you do not have to respond via email.

2010 KVMS Award Winners

Congratulations to all 2010 KIRKSVILLE MULTISPORT members for participating in the 2010 Points Series. We hope you had as much fun as we did. Both Club Champions had to work hard this season to keep their lead as 2nd Place was right on their heels. This positioning made for fun and exciting inner-club competition.

(back row) Allen Goans, Nikki Moore, Royce Kallerud, Marilyn Mihalovich;
(front row) Donovan Gaines, Lauren Gaines; (not pictured) Bob Keogh, Deb Holte

Male Champion: Allen Goans
2nd Place: Royce Kallerud
3rd Place: Bob Keough
Youth: Donovan Gaines

Female Champion: Marilyn Mihalovich
2nd Place: Deb Holte
3rd Place: Nikki Moore
Youth: Lauren Gaines

I must admit when the season started I didn't care much about the points because I was a beginner runner. However, as the season progressed I found myself asking Allen where I stood in points after every race. I ended up 5th overall and was pretty surprised at how much I improved over the year.

Not a member yet? Wait no longer, print out the membership form below and mail it to us right away. There is an entire group of multisport friends just waiting to meet you and train with you!

Stay warm and safe this week!

Brooke (and Allen too)
