*Joining the Team
We still don't have all the new services in the computer, but we do have the basic 3-month session, individual sessions, and 10-packs of individual sessions. Also, we've got the process figured out for getting the discounted rates. In case the front desk girls don't know what to do, you'll need to get a managerial override for the correct price. And here are the discounted price points for you . . .
- Team in Training gets 25% off ($135 for members/$200 for non-members)
- Kansas River Valley Tri Club gets 5% off if they're already a member at Genesis ($171) and 10% off if they're not a Genesis member ($243)
- College students get 10% off ($162 for members/$243 for non-members)
- Genesis employees get 25% off ($135), but I think that's figured into their accounts automatically
After you get that part worked out, e-mail me and let me know which training plan you'd like to follow. I'll have a handout for you that has information on base training, setting goals, and planning your training week, as well as a list of swim drills, the first three months of your training plan, and a very cool GMC member card. Remember, your options with the team training plans are beginner, ultra-beginner, club plan olympic, and club plan half iron. If you need help deciding which plan to follow, e-mail or call me.
*Dave Scott Triathlon Clinic
Dave Scott is coming to Wichita the weekend of February 29, and will be conducting a triathlon clinic/camp while he's here. You can find all the information here. It will be a very special opportunity, if anyone's interested.
*Calendar Adjustments
I'd like you all to re-read this statement: "The workout schedule is pretty set now. We've got fliers and pamphlets in the works, and the calendar's on those, so we're kind of locked in," just so you can have the pleasure of seeing me eat my words. The workout schedule is still in a little bit of flux. For example, we've moved the Monday Rock Road bike workout (formerly at 6:45) to 5:30 p.m. We might still make changes to the schedule, also, as the weather warms up and we start heading outside more. I will do my absolute best to keep the website updated, so you can check there for the latest, greatest GMC workout schedule, and you can check the Google calendar links below for another means of keeping updated. And I will always include upcoming workouts at the end of the weekly e-mail.
*Learning Curve
For those of you who didn't know, I am fresh out of college, and this is my first time coaching a large group of athletes. So as we begin our first season together, I welcome (or will at least accept, if sometimes with a forced smile) any criticisms or suggestions. I'm here to help you guys develop as athletes, and so if you'd like to see something done a little bit differently, don't hesitate to bring it up with me.

*Schedule for the Upcoming Week
Thursday: 5:30 a.m. technique swim workout at Rock Road
1/10 9:30 a.m. run/swim mommy group at Rock Road (meet in the front lobby, and I should mention that this workout is not exclusively for mommies! All are welcome!)
6:30 p.m. technique swim workout at West Central
Friday: 6:00 a.m. track workout at Rock Road (indoors, meet next to the cycling studio)
1/11 5:30 p.m. bike workout at Rock Road
Saturday: Weather forecast is 42 F high, 24 F low, so dress warm.
1/12 9:00 a.m. long bike ride, leaving from Evangel Assembly of God (11444 W 21st St N 67205). The route is 30 miles. I've gotta be on the east side all day on Saturdays, which means you guys are doing strictly a group ride. As with all workouts, you can choose to do your long rides anytime you want; I've set up this time as a resource for those who prefer to do their long rides in a group. Meet at 9:00, leave by 9:15, and you should be back by 11:30 (at the latest). And since this isn't a coached workout, don't pull a voucher, and bring friends!
10:00 a.m. long run, leaving from Genesis Rock Road parking lot. Plan on 6 miles (which is what the olympic and half iron plans call for), 3 miles if you think of yourself as a beginner. Also, this isn't technically a coached workout, so don't pull a voucher for this one, and feel free to bring friends! We'll decide on pace groups when we get there.
12:00 p.m. Beginner swim clinic at Rock Road
Sunday: 12:30 p.m. long bike ride, leaving from World Market (2433 N. Greenwich Road Building 100 Wichita, KS 67226). The route is 30 miles (out and back). I'll be on the west side on Sunday, which means this is a group ride with no coach. So, I reiterate, you can do your long, endurance workouts anytime you like, but this gives you an opportunity to go out with a group. Meet at 12:30, leave by 12:45. You should be back by 3:00. Once again, don't pay, bring friends!
1/13 1:00 p.m. Beginner swim clinic at West Central
2:00 p.m. long run, leaving from Genesis West Central parking lot. I'll be teaching the beginning swimmers in the aquatics area, so figure out pace groups and a route. Plan on 6 miles, if you're pursuing olympic or half iron dreams this season. Try from 3 miles if you're in more of a beginner mentality.
Monday: 5:30 a.m. endurance swim workout at West Central
1/14 6:30 a.m. technique bike workout at West Central
5:30 p.m. bike workout at Rock Road (in the cycling studio)
Tuesday: 5:30 a.m. track workout at West Central (I'm working on getting us outdoors as soon as possible, but for now plan on meeting at the indoor track)
1/15 9:30 a.m. bike/swim mommy group at Rock Road (meet at the cycling studio)
5:30 p.m. endurance swim workout at Rock Road
6:30 p.m. tempo run (uncoached, plan on 3 miles after you finish your swim)
Wednesday: 5:30 a.m. tempo bike workout at West Central
1/16
As always, e-mail with any questions.
