Diamond in the Rough participants,
In case you have not already pre-booked your accommodations for DITR, I encourage you to do so asap. Due to several events in the area that weekend, there are limited rooms available. Here are two options to consider:
- Best Western North East – 39 Elwoods Road North East, Maryland 21901

CoachAJ replied to the topic Bike crash & injury in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
Sorry to hear about your crash and resulting injuries including broken ribs! Broken ribs can be painful and can take extensive time to heal. This is no fun nor what you wanted for the season ahead.
Unfortunately, this is where a group training program becomes limited and due to liability reasons, I can’t offer broad recommendations for co…[Read more]

Fantastic option Allison! For years, many of us did these bricknic’s religiously. It’s a great way to get in a strong workout and also flex those social muscles. See you out there!

Use your 2 hour bike +brick as the Pman race on Sunday. However this is your choice!

CoachAJ replied to the topic Peasantman Finalized Schedule in the forum Olympic Distance Program (ODP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
Great question! Hopefully others are thinking ahead too.
Thankfully you have another 2 hour ride under your belt so what I would recommend for you is to do your brick workout in place of the Peasantman Olympic triathlon. If you can do your long run mid week (Wednesday or Thursday mid week in place of your mid week run), this would be ideal. Th…[Read more]

Great feedback Katie! I know there was a contingency of DC Tri members there last weekend. For those who are hesitant to ride on the roads and want a change from the trails or Hains Point, here’s another fantastic option. Does anyone else have other options they want to share?

CoachAJ replied to the topic Eagleman Lodging in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
Great call, Dan! The one issue with Eagleman is lack of housing options. Because of this, the local hotels and B&B’s end up requiring a minimum number of nights, which can really get add up when you are only a few hours from home. I would not wait on booking accommodations as there is likely very few options remaining. One option that you cou…[Read more]

CoachAJ replied to the topic Long Ride Options in the forum Half Ironman Program (HIP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 5 months ago
There is a fast ride on Tuesday and Thursday mornings (averaging 20-24 mph). As for Sunday rides, I know that Rapha does a group ride, as well as Bike Rack (6:30 am fast ride; 8:30 no drop ride). I was out there yesterday and there were groups everywhere.
That said, we are always looking for someone to step up and organize more DCTC group w…[Read more]

Yes, Charlie, even I was impressed with the detail and thoroughness of the feedback offered. They did not spare an opportunity to advance your stroke! 100% of the videos that I have reviewed had the same issue, dropped elbow. Fist drill, triangle drill, dryland work will all help! Science suggests that it take 10,000 repetitions to change an…[Read more]

Since we will be talking through what optimal running form should look like (and putting you through some running drills), as well as doing a video analysis demonstration to identify areas of potential and/or breakdown of form, we need to have an idea of participation to set up the space appropriately.
