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!
