Saturday Rides

Saturday rides typically leave at 7:30am from the Aquatics Center and they are usually varied as to route layout and/or destination. There will be an occasional longer or faster ride and those will be posted or Jim will say they are as such in the emails he sends out. Be sure to carry plenty of fluids, an id, and a cell if possible.  If we go on longer rides or to Camp Cherokee, you will need $ to purchase more drink, and if going to Camp Cherokee, then flip flops, goggles and swim cap (if needed). I usually will have a camera. Thanks and I look forward to seeing all who come out to ride and work out together!

Monday Night rides We are still leaving from the Wachovia Parking lot in downtown Rock Hill 6:30 is take off time - get there at 6:15 or close thereof - it is where the Rock Hill Bike Club meets.  It is a simple 18 mile route with various speeds per the group you take off with. If possible, we will have our own group leave out separate for a varied trek.

  

 

TRI-101 WORKOUT COMMENTS

 

It is not critical to make every coached workout, it is more important to just keep up with a routine that includes:

  • 1 or 2 swim, including one that steadily increases your distance
  • 1 or 2 run, including one that steadily increases your distance
  • 1 or 2 bike.  
  • Strength & Core, even if it is done at home while watching TV
  • Rest! 
 
Coached workouts are provided as a tool to help with your training.  The coach provides direct feedback as you need it.  The group provides the social aspect and accountability that are so important to the sport.  If you can't make a coached workout, that's ok, check out the YMCA schedule and facility times to get your workouts in as needed and use the info provided in the weekly email to design your workout.
 
Also, for those not already on a regular workout schedule, be very conscious of how your body feels these first few weeks.  For many, starting up a program that includes workouts 6 days a week will be a shock to the system.  Listen to your body, rest as you need it, you don't need to risk an injury.  But also make sure to differentiate between true tiredness and a lack of motivation.
