In brief
- First training session for the COPE Salthill Triathlon, a favourite charity.
- Sixteen people attended with three coaches for a swim and technique presentation.
- The group finished with an easy 5k run, including some new runners.
Let’s do it again!
We had our first training session last night. The Cope Triathlon is coming soon, and there are only a few places left for this year’s Triathlon.
COPE always has been one of my favorite charities. They provide services to those isolated in our community – including sustenance and social supports for older people, a refuge for women and children affected by domestic violence and accommodation for men and women experiencing homelessness.
I was pleased with last night’s training session. 16 people showed up with 3 coaches.
I suppose group effect does make people achieve and do things we would not do on our own.
Swim and Run Session
We swam about 700 to 900m, preceded by a short presentation of swimming techniques in Triathlon:
We then went for a nice and easy 5k run and I was impressed that some who never ran before or very little were able to do it. I suppose group effect does make people achieve and do things we would not do on our own.
I can’t wait until next week.
