After several years racing the elite ITU circuit for Canada, Jon Bird is returning home to Calgary for a weekend workshop on Triathlon Swimming. Sharing some of the cutting edge concepts he has gained training at the National Training Centre in Victoria. The focus for the weekend is on increasing performance and confidence in the pool. With the aid of underwater video camera, swim snorkels, swim specific paddles and cutting edge drills; Jon is looking to pass along the tools to improve your swim and change the way think about training and racing.
The weekend aims to give each triathlete specific feedback and information directly related to increasing performance for this upcoming race season, and this opportunity will assist athletes in the development and visualization of their swim stroke. This course is limited to 15 participants and the cost is $300.00 a person
More Info
This cost is being used by Jon to fund his upcoming season in a points race to qualify for Pan American Games and the 2012 Olympics.
Hope to see you there

Rona MS Bike Tour
Hi Tri Club,
This is a way-in advance post, but I am a planner so I'm attacking this now. The weekend of June 11-12th is the Rona MS Bike Tour, a ride from Airdrie to Olds and back again. Registration opens early and the earlier you register, the more likely it is you are guaranteed a dorm bed - camping in the Quad is also available. You have to raise $275, there's a great party in Olds and I believe they offer massages.
I have a team and if you are interested in joining us for a really, really good ride feel free to join. You can make it as competitive/intense as you want - there are several rest stops including, but not limited to a colony stop with the best. bread. ever.
I cannot promise good weather. But I *can* promise Sharkies and a wicked awesome day with some wicked awesome people. And the best bread ever. (I hope they don't change the route and make me a liar!)
There are also events such as a party, massages, yoga etc.
This is the same weekend as Wasa.
Team name is K8+8+OTHERS and am falling short of the 8 part so far but working on it.
This is the information they give me to pass out:
You can make a difference in the life of a person living with multiple sclerosis. The impact of this devastating disease is felt by family, friends and by the community. MS is unpredictable, affecting vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility.
The progress we've made towards ending multiple sclerosis in the past few decades has been significant, and most importantly, hope for finding a cause and cure is at an all-time high. You can be a part of finding that cure.
Here is the information you will need to register for the event:
Team Name: K8+8+OTHERS
Event Name: RONA MS Bike Tour - Airdrie to Olds 2011
Event Date: June 11, 2011
Your secure online account will allow you to invite others to the team and will allow you to e-mail requests to your friends and family for online pledges. Funds raised at the RONA MS Bike Tour help fund ground-breaking research studies.
To find out more about the RONA MS Bike Tour, please visit www.msbiketours.com.
Bring MS to an end. Register today.
