Week of 4/8/24: Workouts this week for Tu/Wed/Th.

Hi Folks,

There will be no Sat HR/XT due to “Bike Around the Buttes” event.

Hi Folks,

A good number of the group are riding the Bike Around the Buttes, on Saturday, 4/13/24 in Sutter area near the Buttes the small mountain rage that the 40 mile course circumvents.

There will be no Sat HR/XT due to “Bike Around the Buttes” event.

A few members from our workout groups took part in the Lava Man Triathlon Waikoloa (1.5K swim – 40K bike – 10K run: the Olympic distance format) held on the big island of Hawaii over the second half of the Kona Ironman course. Linda Munk (and friend), Gayle Shimokaji, Judi Shaffer (and her relay team), Dave Champagne, and Kevin Porter got through their events, though Kevin was stopped by a broken chain that cost him over an hour of waiting time! Apparently the mechanics could not find the chain link tool to remove the broken chain and slap on the new one!
