PETE & CORRINNE UPDATE #3

Kelli Whittaker

Pete and Corrinne have had another busy week “training like triathletes”.

Corrine started the 12-week training camp last week and says, “she was really impressed with what she learned about triathlon essentials and is really looking forward to the future lessons”.

She has also really enjoyed the group swims stating, “I’m glad I learned how to transition faster. Ron taught me how to get into the ocean water quickly and how to get out of it quickly”. He taught her to pop up when her hand touched the sand instead of getting up early and fighting through waist deep water. She explains, “the group swims have helped me tremendously because everyone is out there learning together”.

Pete started the training camp this past Saturday and is looking forward to the experience. He says, “I am eagerly anticipating the training camp and the free 9-week training plan we all get for being in the camp”.

Pete and Corrinne’s week of training went “fantastic”. They rode the Orange County Triathlon bike course and then ran part of the run course. They were both pleasantly surprised with their performances. Pete said, “we discovered that the run was very hilly and it was a challenging course, but I’m very happy that we did it because now we know where we are and the next time we train there we will be able to gauge our progress”.

Pete also led the group bike ride for Triathica Saturday. He took the riders through Santiago Canyon and had a blast leading the group.

Corrinne and Pete both continue to use Triathica’s facility and attribute much of their training success to the equipment inside the training center as well as the knowledge of the USAT certified coaches that work there. According to Pete, ” Triathica just makes training easy, everything is here at your disposal”.
