Indoor Tri at the Huntington YMCA: March 29, 2009

This Swim Wave managed to get together BEFORE the starters gun went off (Thank You Arthur) for a group photo. They do look happy don't they? Below is video from the start of the first wave of swimmers -- lean away from the screen if you don't want to get splashed!








Different swim wave above... but some really good stroke positions. I'm assuming that these are some of Coach Bob's students!

Running indoors can sometimes be boring... but that never seems to be the case at the Huntington Y.


Below is a video from the run portion of this very successful Indoor Tri:




I can take as much time on the turns as I want right?



This is a really, really good workout!


The Indoor Tri's youngest fan! Somebody sign her up for 2029!






I was sweating to the oldies and the weren't even playing any oldies!


In the Video Below, you can see and LISTEN to the excitement of biking at an Indoor Tri. Drafting was just out of the question though from what I've heard, would have been really welcome as the bike portion of the race was 15 minutes of hard, up-hill work!

If we're the last swim wave, does that mean that we only have to swim for 14 minutes?


Now look way up there... that's how far I want to see the splash from you kicking going!


That's right, I'm STILL turning... it really is a great place to rest!


How long do we have to run?

Don't worry, we'll have the lane lines up BEFORE you finish running!

Bob said, "Mike, make sure you get a shot of the Build Our Y (dot) Org T-Shirt!"

"Funny thing, I was just biking along, minding my business, when all of a sudden, I found myself in the middle of this Indoor Tri -- so how did you get here?"
