1. Important notes for the week”¦

A. We will have a surprise guest bootycamp leader tonight! Hint: he/she is a westie at heart despite being an Arlington bootcamp leader, enjoys long walks on the beach and running the Boston marathon.

B. I’m back online. Baby girl is safely into the world and doing well. So I will be running, doing bootcamp, and napping all at the same time tonight. I feel left out”¦ I hope we get a good crowd tonight so I can catch up with everyone!

3. Overview of Team Z West clinics for this week”¦

Saturday USAT Rules, Transition, Race Prep, Race Strategy Clinic ”“ 9:00 AM ”“ Bonzai Sports, Falls Church

New Z’s ”“ this is the clinic that covers the MOST information about racing in one session. You should prioritize this!

This will be a 1.5-2 hour clinic where we will discuss the 10 most commonly violated rules of the sport – and discuss in detail drafting/blocking/and other bike rules.   We will talk about planning for your race including packing lists, building race plans/nutrition plans, and strategy (how hard to go, when, and for how long).   We will also address transitions – what to bring, how to set it up, and what to expect on race day.   New to racing?   I’m certain you will learn much from this clinic!

Leader: Alexis
When: Saturday, 9:00 AM
Street Address:  2826 Fallfax Dr, Falls Church Va 22042

Saturday Wetsuit Selection Clinic ”“ 10:30 AM – Bonzai Sports, Falls Church, VA

If you have never been taught about how to buy, wear, or take care of a wetsuit than this clinic is certainly worth your time.   We will answer questions about expensive vs. inexpensive – and do you need to spend a ton (no).   We’ll talk long sleeve vs short sleeve, and what drives price in wetsuits (technology).   We’ll answer how to put on and take off the wetsuit properly, and how to take care of your suit so that it lasts for years.    Are triathlon wetsuits like surf suits or scuba suits – ABSOLUTELY NOT – 100% different.   Don’t want to buy?   Let us tell you about the rental options, and rent to own.   Don’t miss this if you are a rookie!
