Hi Peeps,

If you don't know about us, we have been running fitness training sessions and race training sessions for months a few times a week. These sessions have been free to anyone who cares to paddle with us and Saturday has been BOP/Short course training since mid winter. As our fitness has improved, I've taken a rather unnatural interest in running and I've always enjoyed road cycling. We had a brain wave this morning to create a mini series of Fitness Challenges of 6 events plus a trial run starting 13th October.

The format is a Paddle/Cycle/Run with a 4km paddle, followed by a 19km cycle, and completed with a 5km run leg. All of this course is around the beautiful Swan River foreshore starting and finishing in Maylands at our regular paddle spot. The course is all flat terrain 95% of which is cycle paths and walkways.

The focus and intention of the race is completing it in the best time you can manage and then improving your time the next month. The course should only take around 2-2.5 hours for a person of average fitness, fit people should do it easily in under 2 hours.

Have a look at our Blog via our new Facebook Fitness Crew page for course and Event details. If you are interested in participating, "Like" and let us know on FB and we'll see you there at 6am on Saturday the 13th Oct for a trial run as a group so we all know the course.

Great Idea, I can see the triathlon peeps getting into this

I'm going to try to get along next week if my usual brick session is cancelled.
I don't have a race board tho, would i be able to borrow/rent one?

Hi Peeps,

Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances beyond my control we are forced to delay the Fitness Challenge mini series start, until further notice.

I will update as soon as circumstances change. Sorry, I know there was a lot of interest in this event series. I hope to continue it some time in the near future.
