Regular 99  Guelph, ON |  Subject: Ontario Tri Training centre in GuelphJust want to make the Western GTA/Central ON people aware of the Ontario tri training centre run out of the Univ. of Guelph. They run a tri training session once a month (2 per month Feb-Apr.): 2h in the pool, 1.5h indoor ride, and 1h run, all coached. The sessions are $40- you can't beat the value. I've gone to several of these over the past few years, but I don't think many people know about them. There's a list of dates on the OAT web site http://www.triathlonontario.com/hm/inside.php?id=434 |

| Regular 99 Guelph, ON | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph You are welcome. Some of the seesions have only had a few athletes attend- that's great for getting personal attention for the coaches but it's a bit more fun when there is a group. These sessions are great for new triathletes. |

Expert 634 Toronto | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph I'm surprised that there weren't a lot of people out. Guess not many people know about it. In truth, the info about it on the OAT web site is somewhat vague. I would absolutely LOVE to come but my issue is that it pretty much takes up a significant part of the day and therefore takes away from being with my wife and daughter. It sucks because I'm sure I would get a lot out of it.

Expert 620 Guelph, Ontario | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph I knew something like this existed, but always found finding the information difficult or it was out of date. Good to know this is still going on. Something I'll consider in the future. Too bad I moved from Guelph to London last year  |

| Regular 99 Guelph, ON | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph I know what you mean about the vague info. The OAT does zip to support these sessions- the workouts are driven by a couple of volunteers in Guelph who arrange everything. I thought I'd post the info here as they can use the help publicizing these things. Having said that, the last session was coupled with the Ontario development team for the 2009 Canada games. There were about 15 very fast kids who did the workouts with us (their coach led half of the cycling). I think they will be participating for the upcoming sessions. Good fun! |

Extreme Veteran 359 Guelph | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph I went to these last year and they are awesome. The time in the pool and the personal attention from the coaches was awesome. It gave me the confidence to finish my first olympic tri last year. They even did an underwater analysis of my stroke for me. I'll be going again this year for sure. Hope to see some fellow BT'ers there.

| New user 7 Kitchener, Ontario | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph I'm new to the sport and just began training for the Lakeside Sprint Race in June...I would say I am in decent shape although my swimming is by far the weakest element...I am in the pool 3-4 days a week to improve upon this...my question is this - would this be a good experience for someone as new to the sport as I am? I feel as though my current skill set/endurance abilities may be somewhat of a 'nuciance' for those better conditioned... Any input would be appreciated Thanks in advance, |

| Regular 99 Guelph, ON | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph These sessions are suitable for all skill levels. The swim in particular is geared toward the basics- most of the sessions are drills and you seldom swim more than 50m without stopping for instruction. If there's a big group with diverse swim skills they will divide us into groups based on skill level. The bike and run workouts are tough but you can go at your own pace without affecting anyone else. You can drop a few gears on the bike if it is too tough, and the run will be in a dome with a short track, so you are never too far off the pace. There are sessions the next two Sundays (Feb25 & Mar4). Cheers, Kevin |

| Regular 99 Guelph, ON | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph The gryphonline thing is confusing. It's in the Mitchell Atheletics centre at the U of Guelph. Kind of in the centre of campus if you look on the map http://www.uoguelph.ca/campus/map/ If you want any info the guy who runs the sessions is Harry Barnes at [email protected] |

Master 1675 Kitchener | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph I'm in Kitchener, as well, and am now on my 3rd session at the Guelph training centre. I was also new to the sport and had just learned to swim. I was the last one out of the water in my age group for my 1st tri before I started these sessions. I've probably knocked 5 minutes off my swim time. Definitely recommend it. Awesome coaching and great personal attention. Do you swim at the rec centre or WLU? |

| Regular 135 | Subject: RE: Ontario Tri Training centre in Guelph I agree with the others...I too have attended the swim tri training for 3 sessions...always something to learn. Coaches are great, offer loads of information and suggestions and wonderful to work with. They are very devoted to the sport(s). For the price....and the instruction you get....definitely can't beat it! I feel very lucky that this is offered in Guelph. You will definitely get something out of taking the sessions. No other way to spend an early Sunday morning! Edited by tristar1 2007-03-25 7:17 PM |
