WheelWorks Tri-Night

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

I wanted to shout out and let all the Boston-area tri studs out there know about the event that the WheelWorks Multisport team is puttin on in a few weeks: Tri-Night 2007

Tri-Night will have some cool guest speakers, vendors to show off some cool new gear and answer questions, presentation by an elite athlete, who has yet to be announced (last year I believe they had 3-time Ironman World Champion Peter Reid) food, drinks, good company, and of course… some killer raffles. I’m looking forward to meeting a few new peeps there, and definitely let me know if you are interested in grabbing a hold of some raffle tickets (but don’t get your hopes up about the Zoot wetsuit, I’ve got dibbs on it) ;-) email me at sbrtelevision@gmail.com to get a hold of a few tickets.

Location: Wheelworks Bike Shop

Date: Friday, April 16, 20076:30 p.m. Guest Speakers, Meet Team Sponsors, Food, Prizes…

7:15 p.m. Presentation by an Elite triathlete (TBA)… but I’m anxiously awaiting the announcement and will share as soon as it is available.

Fear of climbing

Mooseman Bike Elevation

I had a nice long brick workout this afternoon. (1:20 trainer ride to a free Spinnervals DVD I snagged at the Multisport Expo followed by a 3 mile run). Then decided to poke around technorati to see who else was blogging about Mooseman.

In my rummaging around the net, I found this blog post from a fellow Connecticut-er who showed off a topographic map of the bike course for Mooseman. Granted I had heard some stories about how the course was really hilly, and started off with a pretty aggressive climb right from the start… but actually seeing it mapped out visually on my computer shocked me a little! (well, actually quite a lot…)

Check out the full route profile here:

It looks like I’m going to be doing some hill repeats in the next few weeks to prep my quads for Mooseman! Who’s with me!?!
