Training

 Everyone has been building up on their training and doing a great job! If you are training for OC Half or full, Cinco De Mayo, Laguna Hills Half, Whoo's In El Moro, Holcomb Valley, or training for a Triathlon, you have been working hard, and putting in the miles.  It is hard to balance training, working, and family, and not necessarily in that order.  I commend you all for your efforts.  Especially having to deal with Pete and I pushing you harder and harder each week. Great job! If you feel you are struggling in your training in any way, let us know so we can come up with another plan specifically for you.

What if you don't have anything to train for? Email us let us know so we can figure out a race you may want to do.  Here are just a few again to help you figure out your next move...

Women Rock!We may be called OC Trail Tales, but we have a little something for everyone! Road, Trail, and Triathlons! :) Great job everyone! You are all racking in the points, well done! Not only are you all working hard towards your goals, and doing SO well, but we have a podium winner now....Connie Visconte won 3rd place Sunday in her Tri! Great job Connie! Connie has recently learned how to swim, and how to ride a bike! AMAZING!

I had a great time at each event with all of you, and am looking forward to even more! You guys really just amaze me!

This weekend we will be at Shady Canyon on Saturday morning. It will be hot, so please dress accordingly, and bring water and electrolytes for your run. Stay Hydrated! We will have a run for the running groups and a bike for the Triathletes after the run, sort of a reverse tri. :)

After our workout on Saturday, Edge Cyclesports will have some bikes for us to try out, for those of you wanting a new bike at a discount.  If you have not been to Edge yet, they are a fantastic place to get all your Tri needs, and very friendly and easy to work with.  Directions...
23561 Ridge Route Dr,Suite JK  Laguna Hills, CA 92653


Sunday, we are starting at 7am because of the heat! Please bring your hydration packs if you are going more than 4 miles. We will be doing part of the Whoo's in course, and i will be working some of you. Make sure you bring nutrition, and wear light clothing for the heat...Moisture wicking, etc. Prepare for 7 to 10 miles. You will also need salt tabs/electrolytes/gels, maybe a buff to wet at the ranger station, to cool you down if it gets too warm. We will be doing hills. :)

Great job you guys!
