maybe a cult sub-leader instead
Notes to me.I've been reading up on fitness clubs and triathlon clubs. Dem's a lotta work! And a lotta bodies to keeps motor-vated.
I'm not sure I want to be in charge or start something from scratch. I don't want to do fundraisers. (been there, done that). I don't want to do a newsletter. (no interest). I don't want to do membership drives. (Phooey). I think what I'd be good at is coordinating trainings, coaching, motivating others, and doing my own training. Leading by example and helping others.
I think that makes me a candidate for sub-leader.
Turns out there's a tri-club in Danville. Not much info on their training schedule except they have a 6:30 pm run every Wednesday in Danville. It's food for thought. Maybe I'll go check them out this spring and try a group run with them, assuming drop in guests are welcome. Although it's a turn-off that they are so focused on road-races and earning points for their club. Maybe that will make more sense once I meet them and find out more. I'm working on keeping an open mind since my knee-jerk reaction was negative. I'm not looking for a running club, I'm looking for a tri club.
....sooo.. hmm... I need some lists here:
Must Do's:
1. Join USA-Tri Org
2. Map out training between now and May 4 w/ exact activities each day (due by Friday)
3. get wet suit
4. Napa Valley sprint (May 4)
5. Santa Cruz sprint (Aug 10)
6. Tri at Pacific Grove (Sept)
Long term/wanna do:
1. Drop in on Danville tri group some wednesday night for group run.
2. Join local beginners cycle club
3. see if I can do "See Jane Tri" 12-week training after 1st grade is out.
4. Look for masters swim class (today's brilliant idea!)
5. Research what it takes to be a coach

no subject
I think all that organizing would cut into my work-out time. And it would mean lots of e-mail and phone calls during the day and night. II'd really rather be in charge from the side-lines and let someone else filter out all the stuff I'm not interested in. I'd like to run a fitness training activity 1x a week in my area that starts around 8:30 pm. That would give working parents a shot at some training time. My thought is to work through the local high schools or JCs for track and/or pool time. First up, though, is get certified to coach.
Oh - and complete a few triathlons. :-D
