Training Resources
There are many great resources to get you out there and/or keep you motivated. Meet like-minded people for swimming, cycling, or running. Take advantage of upcoming clinics or workshops. Or check out my book recommendations for learning or inspiration.
The Fred Ride: Saturday Morning Bike Ride **Free!**
Want to ride with a great group of people? Check out "The Fred Ride", hosted by Fred Huang. This no-drop ride starts from the Arboretum in Austin, Texas and ranges in distance week to week (20-60 miles). Intensity ranges from base effort to fast/interval work or hills - it just depends on the goals of the group or individuals for that week.
