Hello Team,
I hope you are all doing well and keeping yourself safe. Practice is going to continue as usual. However, the YMCA are taking some precautionary measures.
- Bring your own mat to the YMCA
- Classes: They will be removing yoga blocks, stretch straps, resistance bands, any soft-surface, and any non-essential equipment to reduce the amount of cleaning needed between classes until further notice .
- Please check the updated schedule for classes at the YMCA.

Racing
As you are aware all the races from now till end of April have been cancelled or moved. I have a conference call with USA Triathlon and Ironman on Monday with the follow up of these events. Which means, if your event has been postponed, that gives us more time to train and make your stronger. Don’t eat your feelings cause they moved the race… be happy…. you have more time to train. I will provide everyone an update on the upcoming races on Tuesday at the Bike Trainer session.

Mitch Fest – April 1, 2020
Attention Triathlon Family!
Mitchell Capps defied all the odds by surviving a frightening and potentially fatal fall just after the new year. But Mitch is tough, resilient and on the road to recovery—and that road is a long one. He could use the support of our community to keep the miracle going. Please join us at Johnny’s Other Side for an evening of fun and friendship to help raise funds towards Mitch’s recovery. We’ll enjoy time together, as well as live music, happy hour prices and raffle prizes. Johnny’s is donating 20% of the food and beverage sales from the evening and donations will also be accepted at the door or in advance:
