Jump Start 2009 with Source Endurance

Next weekend (11/22-11/23) all Sunrise members will be given an opportunity to jump start training for the 2009 season. Source Endurance out of Austin, TX will be in Shreveport to offer 4 distinct clinics for us to attend. You can decide to come to one or all 4 sessions.

Here is a tentative schedule:

Bike Handling Skills Clinic (Sat 11/22 9AM-12PM)

Saturday 11/22
Stoner Boat Launch
9:00-12:00pm
Come prepared to get on your bike and learn how to descend, turn, drink, and much more while riding. We will be in the parking lot on the road and on the grass to make sure there is a soft spot for falling.

The clinic will conclude with a can't miss game of tag while on your bike!!

Running Skills and Transition Clinic Saturday (Sat 11/22 3PM-5PM)

Lee Hedges Stadium
3:00-5:00
Running Skills and Transition Clinic
Here we will learn all the skills necessary to safely incorporate speed into our training. Running drills will be explained and demonstrated properly. Key stretches and recovery strategies will
also be emphasized to help us stay injury free. The transition clinic will focus on training us how to gain that free speed we could all use!

Quality vs. Quantity (Sat 11/22 7PM-9PM)

Saturday 11/22
7:00-9:00
El Chico's Madison Park
Training Lecture - Quality vs. Quantity
Can we really have a successful season with limited time to train? How can we incorporate training when we all have demanding jobs, family and other commitments? This lecture will show us how to train on as few hours a week as possible and still reach our goals.  Dinner is not included so bring some cash if you want to eat.

Source Endurance Fully Supported Group Ride  (Sunday 11/23 8:00-10:30am)

Sunday 11/23
8:00-10:30am
LSUS Parking Lot
Fully Supported Group Ride
Cap off the weekend with a moderately paced group ride with all 5 Source Endurance coaches and trainers. EVERY level member will be accomodated from super fast to super slow. We will have a sag wagon and sweep riders on the road to feed, protect and serve us. You don't want to miss this!!

I will be sending updates all week. Please let me know if you are planning to attend any or all events. It will be helpful to get an idea of what to expect.

Sunrise is covering all the costs (except dinner on Saturday) so try to take advantage of at least one session.

We are even working on a way to raffle off a training package for one lucky attendee to receive a 3 month training package from Source Endurance.

I hope to see everyone there!
