SUNDAY WORKOUT VENUE CHANGE!!! (KAIMANA)

HEY GANG,

We are going to meet at Kaimana Beach on Sunday at 8am instead of Ala Moana. We feel that Ala Moana will be a lot more crowded on the Holiday weekend.

We will swim first followed by a run.

See you there.

Saturday's Non-Clinic Training

We will be riding from Paki Park @ 7:00 am for a 2.5 hr ride followed by a 30 minute run. We'll try to get out to Waimanalo Rec. Center with Hill work along the way.

To cool down after maybe a quick dip in the ocean.

WAY TO GO TEAM HR at Honolulu Tri

Update! Pics from the race!

Click Here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rickspics1/sets/72157605151915016/

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Congrats HR TEAM. I can't get over all these results. I don't even know where to start. On the olympic distance side: 100% From what I can see had faster swim results then last year. Steve Davidson lead the charge by dropping close to 10 minutes Plus (crushed his time from last year overall) Eleanor cut over 5 minutes on her swim and crushed her overall time from last year.

Cheryl, Sandra, Tom all swam faster!!!!! Remember if you are doing Both Honu and Todays race you can't really compare doing this at a lower Hr to Last years overall results. Congrats to

Shirley and Pomai for gutting it out for Battle of the ages.

Shirley Smoked the swim bike and run for a 2:49!!! She gets the sandbagger award. We never knew you had that kind of speed.

Cheryl and Sandra were patiently running at HR lookin at me like HO HUM just cruising along at My HR. Great job Ladies. Your big race is to come. Great swim splits this year!!

Tom, Looked very comfortable from the start. Knows he has a big one in two weeks. He cut another 30+ seconds of his swim time this year. Just missed breaking the 35min barrier.

Bocar was floating on the run in 54 minutes. Way to go Bocar.

Sprint race:

Congrats to Dottie for winning her age group and beating last years time by 10 minutes.

Judy: First race and 15+ years I think. Looking strong! Way to go Judy. You and Emily looked great on the run together. Emily: First triathlon ever!!!! You looked like you were on a training run. Way to go Emily. You have come a long way.

Mike Nishimoto Went 1:46 in the Short course. Once again looking smooth. Inspiring us all.

Oh yeah, and Claus kills it with 1 day of training a week. Way to go Claus. Congrats to all today.

Here is a link to the results!

Peter,Cliff and RepeteHR training

Non Clinic Training - Sunday May 18th.

This weeks non-clinic training will be on your own.

The schedule calls for a two hour run followed by a 2000 - 2500m swim. With a few of us going down to cheer on our fellow teammates at the Hon Tri, getting together for a late start group run would be difficult. Gotta love the heat though!

I will be running after the race probably leaving from the Paki Park area if anyone wants to join me. I will be doing a swim out to the wind sock after.

Changes to Saturdays Clinic! May 17th!

Peter has changed the clinic from Waimanalo loop ride to Paki Park loops out to Hawaii Kai.

We will be starting from the Paki Park parking lot that is part of Kapiolani Park by the bathrooms (runs paralle along the road up to Diamind Head - can't recall the name right now sorry!). For those of you who have done the non-clinic rides with me it's the parking lot we always leave from.

We will do two laps out to Hawaii Kai via Portlock. The first lap will be back to Triangle Park then back out to Hawaii Kai. We will then finish back at Paki Park where we started followed by a run. There may be a few exceptions to this but Peter will talk to those lucky few lucky who will have a different course.

See everyone Saturday!

Honolulu Tri This Weekend - Sunday, May 18th

This Sunday is the Honolulu Tri (starts @ 6:00 am I believe). It is a 1.5K swim, 40K Bike & a 10K Run. The race is at Ala Moana Beach Park with all transitions on the Magic Island side of the parking.

Please head down and support our fellow clinic team members. They have worked very hard to get to this point and could use some cheering on from all of us. I know I will be there in my cheerleaders outfit offering words of encourgement!

There is a challenge between some of our fellow clinic members! The BIG battle between Shirley & Pomai for the crown of "Age over Youth"! Should be a nail bitter! They're both winners in my book!

Good luck to all of you! I know all your hard work will pay off!

Sunday 5/11/08 Non-Clinic Training

We will be riding out of Paki Park at 7:00 am for a 3 1/2 hour bike ride.

Goal is too make it to Enchanted Lakes area with some hill work along the way. This means we'll be keeping the pace up heart rate allowing. Following the ride we will swim 2000 - 2500 m to the wind sock. Sounds like a fun day to me!

Hope to see everyone there!

HR Rough Water Clinic

Hey,

Just getting a feeler for the interest for a Roughwater clinic starting in July sometime.
Need at leat 15-20 to make it worth my while. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 150.00.

We would meet one time during week and most weekends unless there is a race.

Peter

Reminder! May Clinic is Monday's & Wednesday's

Just a friendly reminder that the weekday clinic moves to Monday's & Wednesday's for the month of May.

See everyone tonight at Ala Moana!

North Shore Swim Series & Waikiki Rough Water

I will be signing up to do these swim series races. I'd like to get an idea if anyone else is interested in doing them as well. It will be a great way to stay in shape as the Tri season starts to wind down. There are a couple os swim clinics that we could join so let me know if you are interested.

5/6/08 - Update - I have registered for the North Shore Swim Series so if you plan on doing these races please let me know. I'll be looking for a clinic to coach for this.

Bike Shipping to Kona for Honu - Who Needs to Ship?

With the unstability of Aloha Airlines we have started to source other means to get your bike to Kona. Hopefully they will be back and flying and Dennis can help us out once again. By far this is the best way to go.

I would like to know how how many bikes will need to be shipped? Please post a comment if you will need shipping etc.

However, just to be prepared Laurie and I have been researching alternatives.

Obviously you can crate it yourself, ship it and reassemble it. Which may be best for you.

There are couple of services that provide this as well. Below are the links for them.

Let us know if you have any questions.

UPDATE!

5/7/08 - Dennis was able to secure the shipping crate again through Aloha Airlines. Please let him know if you are interested in shipping your bike with him.
