Donner Lake Triathlon

Hi all, In Chico for a few days after being at the Donner Lake Triathlon. I was there with Teresa Kludt, and Joanne Gilchrest.  All three of us are nursing injuries so none of us are running. It made it kind if weird but we were there to use the venue as training for worlds and for Joanne who is going to Newport Beach to try and qualify for worlds.  In that way it was a very successful day for us. I was glad because it gave me the confidence boost I have been needing...to realize I am still strong despite the lack of training.  If anyone out there wants to do one of the most beautiful and challenging races out there you should try this one....it always takes place mid July.

Sounds like there have been some exciting things happening in the cycling scene in Chico and it is the women from the tri club that are out there shaking things up.  Even the guys are having a hard time shaking them off.....go girls!!

Well......training is in full swing and the excitement is building.  As I have mentioned before several women from the club are headed to Newport Beach this weekend to qualify for the Sprint distance World Championships in Australia.  Best of luck ladies....you have all been training hard and you are going to do great.  It will be so fun to know more women will be going to Australia.  We actually have a bit of a following out there in the triathlon world.  When I was at Donner I talked to a couple of people who said they have been following the success of our club...pretty cool.  

I'll check in again soon....stay cool peoples!
