A good friend of mine has moved to Fort Lewis, WA. She is training for Ironman Canada and is looking to hook up with groups for long rides, masters swims, and open water swims. She is a teacher and is free all summer, so can train during the week as well as on weekends. Can anyone recommend any good group workouts?
Thanks in advance,
Marc
Have her google the Seattle Tri CLub website or the Emerald City MultiSports site. She should find something there.
I’ve met quite a few ft. lewis triathletes at races around seattle. She can hopefully find some folks on the base.
There is a pretty big group at the Fort that do some group sessions. I am down south in Olympia where there is a large group but it is more informal rides, if she is interested I could give her some contacts.
Have her get in touch with Scott Jones through the Counterpart Coaching website. He’s a Navy guy who can point her in the right direction. He’s also a pretty damn good coach.
Marc, http://www.weraisethebar.com/ is a team based in Kent, WA (farther south and closer to Fort Lewis than Seattle Tri or Emerald City), although it’s still a fair drive even from there.
