Thank you Terriers!
Terriers:
It is with pleasure, appreciation and pride that we wrap up another
great year at Terrier Tri and I want to take this moment to properly
thank everyone who made the year especially memorable.
Thank you first to the coaches, who give tireless hours of instruction
and patient teaching and encouragement, motivation and support to
athletes of all abilities and experience levels, from the beginners
who enter the sport with one or two strengths and plenty of desire to
learn, to the advanced athletes and podium contenders who hope to
improve and post PRs every year, and reach new heights in their chosen
sport.
Each of the coaches, Spencer, Megan, Dave, Sarah, Julia, Andreas, Christine, Elizabeth & Josh bring his or her unique talents and individual ability to inspire you, and I thank you for all the hard work you've invested in the team, coaching both individually and in groups, to bring out the best in everyone and create a great experience for all involved. I appreciate your patience and consistency.
To the athletes, I want to say a special thank you since without your
dedication and investment in the sport there would be no team. I
admire and appreciate all the hard work and good spirit you bring to
the sport and the team, especially those for whom this is a "before
work" commitment. You show up in the cold, the dark, the rain and yes
even snow to workouts that require you to focus and build on your
strengths and minimize your weakness, and I've especially enjoyed
watching people grow who are new to the sport become better every year.
This was a great year for the advanced athletes as well and some
highlights included: Sending five Terriers to Kona, where Julia
finished top ten in her age group and the times posted by Kevin,
Billy, Elizabeth and Sam were phenomenal by every measure. The 70.3
World Championships with 7 Terrier's competing with the worlds best. And finally Christine Kenney finishing 9th overall at Ironman Cozumel to
officially end the 2009 season.
And I am proud of the fact that for 2010 we have initiated drop in
programming at West End, a specific Ironman training group with 45 Terriers planning to compete at Ironman Switzerland and Ironman Lake Placid. Plus we have larger than ever groups signed up for half ironman training program and olympic distance as well. So I look forward to an amazing year in 2010, with more great triumphs, both personal and public, to come. Here's to a great year, free of injuries and crashes, and with plenty of medals and smiles at the finish line.
Happy New Year Terriers!

Terriers!
Wanna be like Mike? Watching Michael Phelps swim butterfly is poetry in the pool. If you want to learn the stroke that scores highest on the “Impress Your Friends” list, then join me, Coach Dave, this Sunday for a clinic designed to lay the foundations for learning this challenging, but very rewarding stroke.
The butterfly stroke must be learned in stages, and the foundation of the “fly” as it’s known, is the dolphin kick. We will spend the first half of the clinic focusing on dolphin kick technique, then begin to layer in the arm stroke.
