COMPETITOR MAGAZINE AD
Triathica is excited to announce its first advertisement has been published in the June issue of Competitor Magazine. You can find the ad on page 17 of the publication.
This ad is the first of a series of four that will help show the meaning behind the Triathica brand and what the triathlon training center is all about. It features a background photo of a stunning tropical landscape with the text, “A mystical place awaits those with a desire to challenge themselves… a place undiscovered… a place called Triathica…”
It may seem odd to associate a triathlon-training center with a remote tropical island, but this has been the vision of Triathica president, Ron Saetermoe, from the very beginning. Ron envisioned a destination, free from distractions, where athletes could gather to dedicate themselves to their training and increase their physical capabilities. What better place to train without distractions than a remote island? Perfect weather, perfect scenery, and free from the worries of everyday life that hamper your training and keep you from reaching your goals. These are the images we want to convey with the Triathica name and brand.
Triathica is a physical manifestation of this idea, except our tropical island is actually an office building in a business park in Lake Forest, CA. We may not have an ocean or palm trees, but when you come to Triathica you can focus on one thing and one thing alone, training and getting better at triathlon and multisport.
Stay tuned for our next ad in the July issue of Competitor. It will introduce two individuals and tell the story of how they discovered how Triathica could transform them into better triathletes.
GROUP WORKOUTS
Triathica is hosting FREE weekly group training sessions. These group sessions are a great way to break up the monotony of training alone and are also an excellent way to track your training progress.
The Group Swim will be held at Big Corona in Corona Del Mar every Wednesday. Swims are usually at 5:30 p.m. but will be held at 4:30 p.m. on OCTC meeting nights. Look for the Triathica flag by the lifeguard station near the jetty.

NEW MEMBERSHIP OFFER
Triathica is now offering a new membership deal through the end of August! Anyone who signs up for any type of membership before August 31, 2009 will receive one FREE in-house personalized training zone assessment (a $50 dollar value), one free video analysis of your choice in swim, bike, or run ($125 value), and a 20% discount* on all membership levels for those that qualify. This brings a Level 1 membership down to $40/month. (To receive 20% off membership, you must be associated with a club, organization, or group that is dedicated to multisport (swim, bike, or run)). There are no initiation fees and no contracts. All members have the luxury of using the state-of-the-art facility seven days a week.
Your free in-house training zone assessment could be in swimming, cycling, or running, you decide. Did you know that your training zones are different for every sport and knowing yours can be a great tool for creating your workouts, training more efficiently, and increasing performance? Knowing your training zones can really give you a better understanding of your body and its limits, which will, in turn, give you a better understanding of how you should be training in each sport.
We will take heart rate readings multiple times at specific intervals throughout a specialized graded workout. These numbers will tell us what your heart rate is at different levels of exertion in all three sports, how much power you can sustain on the bike for different lengths of time, what your race pace should be in the swim and run, and lots of other data specific to you.
The video analysis is done with our Dartfish motion capture software. You will receive a DVD mediabook that contains footage of your form from all different angles along with notes on what to work on so you can improve. This is a $115 value, and it is free with any membership this month.
Don’t wait too long to take advantage of the membership discounts, free assessment and a free video analysis of your choice.
Please call 949.273.6223 or come in to the facility to get more information on membership.

Triathlete training center opens in Lake Forest
LAKE FOREST A fitness center dedicated to triathletes and a multisport lifestyle has opened in Lake Forest.
Triathica, LLC – the first of its kind in Orange County – will provide training and coaching for athletes who swim, run and cycle. The fitness center will cater to a sport that is generating interest throughout the world.
The center will provide tools and training to make its patrons fit for these grueling events. Certified coaches can develop a training plan for those planning to participate in an upcoming race.
“You don’t have to start out with an Ironman triathlon and train 20 hours a week, said Ron Saetermoe, president of Triathica in a statement. “There are many other events suited for different abilities and commitment levels. There is also no other sport in the world where you can compete side by side with the pros.”
Triathica is at 26475 Rancho Parkway South.
Triathica Grand Opening Celebration
It was a landmark occasion for multisport athletes in Orange County on May 31st as Triathica, a one-of-a-kind “triathlon training center,” opened its doors to the public in a Grand Opening celebration. The event was highlighted by special guest speaker and Olympian Julie Swail Ertel, a pro triathlete and Irvine resident, who talked about her experience at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Her inspirational tale was just one of many exciting events that took place at Triathica, located off Bake Parkway in Lake Forest.
Guests were treated to giveaways, catered lunch, an expo with shopping booths, guest speakers, as well as the Triathica team giving a first-hand look at everything the training center offers. “I wanted everyone to get a real taste of what we do here and see how we have the tools and resources to lead people into success in triathlon whether it’s their first or 50th race,” said Triathica president Ron Saetermoe. Such services include in-depth bike fitting, video analysis tools, coaching, training plan development and more.
Triathica staff got their hearts pumping to demonstrate the state-of-the-art-equipment filling the facility. Saetermoe jumped in the Endless Pool to swim, while another Triathica staff member pedaled away on the CompuTrainer on a ride that simulated the Orange County Triathlon bike course. Guests, too, had the opportunity to workout on the equipment, which also includes a full set of CycleOps indoor spin bikes with power meters, Landice L9 treadmills, strength-training equipment and more.
“It may be an individual endeavor to do a triathlon, but we’re all in this sport together—we can train together and it can be fun, it’s not intimidating. Bring your bike by or your running shoes and let’s get to work,” said Facility Director, Jarrett Pflieger.
Triathica invited multisport experts to talk to guests about triathlon and how Triathica can benefit athletes of any level. Among the speakers was Kevin Koskella, one of the top triathlon swim coaches in the nation with more than 27 years experience; Russ Jones, a longtime elite athlete who gave some insider tips to success at the local Pacific Coast Triathlon; Mike Collins, a former pro triathlete and current president of Multisports OC and head coach for Nova Aquatics; and Larry Davidson, an accomplished triathlete who’s competed in the coveted Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii.
Outside the facility, a mini expo featuring local businesses gave guests a full look at multisport lifestyle. Among the vendors were Wheels on Wheels, Joint Juice, OC Nutrition, Roketti, Edge Cyclesports, GoTein, NutriShop, TriSwimCoach.com, TriZone, and PureFit nutrition bars. Triathica plans on working close with local businesses to make sure customers are getting the best services offered in the area.
“We are here to train and coach athletes in a place where they can swim, bike and run under one roof, and we want to maintain relationships with the local multisport community to ensure the customer is getting the most out of their experience,” said Saetermoe.
Triathica offers several membership options free of any sign up fees or hidden costs. To find out more about the facility and becoming a member, visit www.triathica.com, email Jarrett@triathica.com, or call 949.273.6223.
