CFL Tri Club Holiday Party – Dec 18, 2022 – 5:00 pm – 7 pm
CFL Tri Club / Tri Peak Athlete Warriors
It is time to show off your culinary streak by whipping up some family delicacy, or something holiday themed. It’s a laid back contest where everyone is the judge.
Address: 904 Spring Park Loop, Celebration, FL
There will be three categories of prizes –
Most Creative/Best Holiday Theme
Best Tasting Food or Drink
Best Tasting Dessert
We have hosted this party in the past, and had some great entries, like “Dasher’s Disaster”, meatloaf shaped like a reindeer that had been run over by a Jeep, or “Whoa, Whoa, WHOA!”, a complete gingerbread house with Santa and his reindeer piled up on the front lawn.
You are not required to bring a homemade dish, and don’t worry, if you just want to bring something store bought; that’s fine too.
For you competitors, here are a few hints –
Make your dish easy to eat. Finger foods works well, or something that is easy to divide up.
Make enough food, but smaller portions, I’m sure there will be a lot to eat.
Bring what you need to serve your food, and serving utensils.
This is one party where arriving early is preferable. Food should be presented and ready to eat at 5:30, as judging will commence at that time.
Seconds and thirds are encouraged, especially when trying to decide on who to vote for but let everyone get a taste…no fair trying to eat all of the competition.
Here is a hint for the more competitive in the bunch: Making it “showy” with a cute name – it tends to influence the judges. 🙂
Congratulations al of the athletes who raced this past weekend:
Miguel A.
Michael A.
Justin G.
I am very proud of all of you. Your hard work does pay off!
Keep on Grinding!
At times we train and challenge ourselves to the next level. However, situation not always go to our favor. NO matter how hard life hits us, we need to get back and keep on fighting. So when yo undo get hit, get back up and say, “Is that all you got. Come on…. HIT ME again and is that all you got!”
This is part of your Journey and we should never give up on your dreams. So put down the donut, don’t eat your feelings and lets get back at it. (I will see you Tuesday morning for the bike session.)

Just because you are doing an open water swim doesn’t mean that your only goal is to get to the other side. Make sure each swim count. Please follow this open water workout.
Warm up: 15 min Build Main Set: 4 x 20 strokes Fast tempo 20 strokes Easy with strong Kick 30 Strokes Fast Tempo 20 strokes Cruise 5 stroeks Recovery -Return to shore and repeat – Note: ont he tempo and cruise sets, sight every 10 strokes. Tip: when you increase your tempo, try to swim fast. Anyone can swim “hard”; not everyone swims fast. Increase speed to drop your compettion or people trying to draft on your heels.

Is it the adrenaline rush of the finish line? The discipline and structure of training? Or the sense of community you feel from fellow triathletes? Maybe it’s a little bit of everything that makes triathlon so indescribably addicting.
Whatever your reason, we’re giving you one more! Make a decision in 2016 on what races you want to do. If it is a Olympic Distance or up to an Ironman Distance, now it is the time to start building your strengths and weaknesses!
Many athletes from the club have races towards the end of the year and may others have started doing their Marathon training. If you need guidance on how to plan your training and how does the club can help, please reach out to me.

I have been coaching for 13 years, and each time I see an athlete cross the finish line it brings me great joy of their accomplishments. As Coach and an athlete, I could understand the inner battles that we have when we are in the battlefield of race day. Therefore, keep on the good work and fighting out those inner wars that we have within ourselves. Keep up the good work!
Calendar
Enclosed you will find the breakdown for this weekend:
Shut up in There! What really goes in your head while you are running?
The difference between a good run and a crummy one begins in your brain. If you believe a workout will be tough or if you focus on feelings of boredom or fatigue, your body will follow your mind, making it more difficult to have an enjoyable outing. The good news is this mechanism works in revers, too. If you can catch yourself in the act of negative thinking, it’s possible to turn your mind – and your run – around.
Have you hear the following voices in your head:
The whiner: “I can’t believe how much long I have to run.” Focus on the next walk break or the next run segment. Look forward to the next tree or benchmark.
The Inner Lazy Man: “I’m too tired.” Try repeating positive self talk.
The Inner Snail: “I’m too slow.” If you don’t push yourself, you won’t get faster.
Other runners may be doing speed work and working harder than you. Use that as your inspiration. Feed off their energy and pick up the pace a bit. Literally! In other words show up to practice!
