TCM at the Races

The tri season is in full swing and members have so far competed at Santa Barbara, Ice-breaker, Sacramento International Tri, and Napa Sprint with PRs being set by David, Todd, Mark & Andrew at respective races. First timers included Renee’s mum and Mark’s wife & sister-in-law so well done to all of them.Last weekend was a busy one for TCM with the Club co-hosting the Vineman Showdown at Sundown sprint on Saturday, then various members competing in the Dipsea, Escape from Alcatraz and SJ International Tri the next day.

See race report on the Escape to the right ->

We’ve also added a list of Norcal tris to our website, so swing on by to figure out your next race. Click here.

Friday at the Dugout
On Friday 13th the less superstitious of us gathered at the Dugout, the secret watering-hole beneath the Legion post in San Anselmo. As the beers were downed, the tales grew bigger and bigger – triathlons raced, Alcatraz stories, war wounds and much more. Eric & Chris expounded on a youthful trip to central America BC (before children). A great time was had by all and there were a couple of sore heads the next morning at the Vineman recon workout.

Successfull Escapes from Alcatraz
On Sunday about 2,100 crazy athletes, including TCMers Gary, Eric, Mark, David, Marlene & Andrew, jumped off the SF Belle into 55 degree water for the start of the race. We had been told to aim for Sutro Towers (a huge radio mast far in the distance) and let the current do the rest. The water was relatively smooth (compared to last year anyway) except for some spots where it felt a bit like being in a tumble dryer!

Thousands of people were lining the swim exit, and finding my shoes was a breeze. A volunteer even helped me remove my wettie and put it in the bag - valet service.   I felt a lot more confident on the bike this year and as a result had much more fun out there.

The run was as brutal as ever and the sand ladder almost did me in. Coming back along Chrissy Field was a welcome relief.  Congrats to everyone who took part, it was a totally fun race. -Andrew

TCMers at Sacramento International
Sunday, April 27th, there were 4 triathletes representing TriClub Marin at the Sacramento International Triathlon. Mark, Todd, Marlene and David enjoyed gorgeous weather, a cool fresh water swim in the Sacramento river and flat fast bike and run courses on River Road right along the river bank. David achieved a PR for Olympic distance races. -David

The Training Corner
There is a great article by Mark Allen in Triathlete Magazine (online), titled "Fixing Your Weakest Link". I replicated it here.

TCM Board Meetings
Once a month the board meets at 6:30pm at Tam Bank in San Anselmo. The next meeting will be July 15. All members are welcome to attend.
