I case you haven't heard about this yet, every Saturday morning at 7am, a group of triathletes meets at the North Boat Ramp at Lake Manawa. The sessions start with an open water swim, then several laps around the lake on the bike. Most days, they also run around the lake time and interest permitting.

This weekend, May 30 is particularly important. I heard from a friend of mine that there is a group being formed for a web site called omahatriathlon.com. They are doing some filming of the training and will use the video on the website. They need all the participants they can get.

I have met up with this group before and all levels should feel welcome. There are some super fast guys and some newbies as well so it works great for everyone.

Are you guys swimming this Saturday (June 6th)? I just did my first tri this past weekend and I really need to work on my OWS. The pool isn't cutting it.

Thanks

Doesn't look like there will be any training there this week. Sounds like they may go on Sunday instead. Some races this week I guess. Sorry.

No, I didn't make it to train that day. Had the MS Ride to Lincoln. Not sure when things are supposed to go live. When it does, I'll let you know.

Yes please keep us posted. I'm a newbie as well and would love to find some people to train with and talk to here in the Omaha area, I think this would be the perfect place to do so. Thanks,

Any progress on the website? Anyone know of any other group rides that are TT friendly or group runs (preferably on the weekends).

Hi everybody,

I think I found the group you are talking about, it is the Team Nebraska Triathlon Club. I spoke to one of the members earlier today and he told me that they all swim on Saturday mornings at Lake Manawa. They also do cycling on Wednesday nights at 6 out at Bike Master on 128 and Fort. Their website is at the bottom if anyone is interested. I am going to try and make it to Manawa this Saturday. Is anybody else going to be there?

VeganMan there is a group called the Omaha Pedalers that ride different days in different areas of Omaha. If you are interested the second website is their schedule.
