FEAT 2012-13

October 30, 2012

Hello FEAT Members,

Hope you all had an amazing summer!

Fall is upon us, so it is time to get back into the pool and on those spin bikes.

I recently met with John Merritt, Brendan Morgan and Scott Dressler to get the ball rolling for
this season and to discuss our vision for this year.

FEAT was initially created to encompass an umbrella of racing elements...Endurance,
Adventure and Triathlon but we have concluded that the vast majority of our members compete
in triathlon specific events. So we will continue to be called FEAT but it will now be the acronym
for FErnie and Area Triathlon club.

Our vision/goals this year are to continue with our weekly swims and spin classes and then to
expand by including children (10+yrs) who are keen in developing their triathlon skills. Brendan
Morgan is willing to spearhead biking and running clinics in the spring to hone up on vital
skills such as proper gearing, pacing and simple bike maintenance. If there are teens who are
interested in attending spin classes throughout the winter, they will also be welcome.
Fees at this time will remain the same: $75 single
                                                               $110 couple
      **and the new category:                  $150 family

Swim: Our swim time will remain the same: Friday 6:30-7:30 am starting November 16, 2012.
Travis Leeden (winner of the Wasa Triathlon Sprint event) and current Bullies (Masters) coach
will be our coach this year. He is excited to work with us all individually and as a squad. At our
first swim on November 16, he has asked us each to consider our goals for this year. Do you
have a specific time in mind? Do you simply want to feel more relaxed and in control? Think
about it between now and then and be prepared so that he knows in which direction to take us.
I have spoken to Cam at the pool and at this point, we will not be renting lanes for the club. As
we get closer to spring we may consider doing so. With the facility being open more throughout
the day and week and not closing on the May long weekend for six weeks, we feel that the extra
expense will not be necessary.

Spin: Spin will be held this year on Tuesday nights from 7:30-8:30pm at Evolution. Sessions
will start on November 13th and will run until end of April. We will continue to have sign up links
(Doodle) posted on our blog at www.featracing.blogspot.ca.
NOTE: Paul Attala’s ball class starts at 7pm on Tuesdays. We must walk quietly and
respectfully through (around) that class to get to the spin room. Please do so with as little
disturbance as possible or we will be asked to move our day or time.
In the spring we will organize road rides with the club. Dates/info for these rides will be posted
on our FEAT blog as well. This blog will be our main source of information so check it weekly
for club updates.

Running: Lori Kennedy and I will continue running throughout the winter. Wednesday
mornings 9:00 and Saturday mornings 9:00. Our general routes are along the dyke and bike
trails up Ridgemont and Fernie mountain. We would love to host running clinics for beginner
runners and snowshoeing when the snow is too deep to run in. If there is any interest for
beginner runner clinics, please let me know. Again, I will post the run days, times and start
location on the blog and the Facebook page.

Finally, FEAT would like to host a bike event in the 2013. It will be a multi-distance event
ranging from 20 km to 60 km in the Cokato Road, River Road and Morrisey Road areas. So
watch for posters and registration in the new year and spread the word.

That is all for now. If you would like to be removed from this mailing list, please let me know.
Furthermore, if you know of anyone who is interested in joining the club please, give them my
email address mrsduke88@gmail.com

Swim Workout - Friday May 11th

Hi folks, no coach for today but here's a classic for you:

"The Eight Steps to Swimming Nirvana"

1 x 200
2 x 175
3 x 150
4 x 125
5 x 100
6 x 75
7 x 50
8 x 25


  • Rest is no more than 10 seconds after each distance - so no chit chat! 
  • The 100's should be on your pace time.  
  • This set magically adds up to a solid 3K practice.  
  • Feel free to include some pull or drill into this set to mix it up a bit.


Cheers!

Marty
