21 | Subject: New Tri Club for North Toronto/York Region I just joined a great group: Mettle Multisport (https://www.facebook.com/MettleMultisport?ref=br_tf) - outstanding coach, great president and leadership team and really great group of varied athletes from very strong to just hoping to complete distances and have fun. Workouts are all in Thornhill/Richmond Hill (Tuesday night bikes, Thursday night track workouts and Saturday open water swim/bike). |

21 | Subject: RE: New Tri Club for North Toronto/York Region Definitely contact one of the people in charge as they will have 100% accurate answers but here is what I know... Here are the answers to your questions: Any more details available? Tuesday bike I believe is at Richmond Green, Thursday run is at Westmount and Saturday brick and open water swim is at Lake Wilcox. Number of people? Seems about 25-40. I can only make the running Thursday nights and it has about 10 regulars and 15 others that are there 2/3 of the time so about 15-20 every week. From what I hear the other days are the same, 10 or so that seem to always make it and 15 others who cycle in and out based on teh week. Quality/availability of coaching? Ridiculously good - working on everything from transitioning to how to get out of a wetsuit, the practices are really well structured and available for tips, advice, etc. between via email. Helping setting goals I blew my PB 10K away at the Sporting Life because of the coaching in just under a month of track work. Plus while I'm sure they won't be at every event throughout the year their attendance at Woodstock yesterday was awesome, Christine stayed well after her Sprint to watch and coach the rookies and unofficial rookies in the Try-a-Tri... made a huge impact from prepping and setting up my transition area to just having confidence throughout and a great debrief after. Level of athletes? All over the map, the club president is elite, I've only been in a 5km and woodstock and she finished 1st for 35-40 in both! Christine one of the 2 coaches also won her age group. The other coach is heading to an international competition representing Canada... there are a few other incredible athletest that being said there are a lot of medium and novice athletes and absolute beginners - virtually everyone runner on Thursday nights has a running partner or two ranging from 4:00/km to 7:00/km yet we all feed off each other. Where do they swim? For now open water at Lake Wilcox. In the winter probably one of the community centers in Thornhill. Not sure if the club prez would want her email on a message board so email me ([email protected]) and I'll forward it along to her. |
