8 Dec ‘17: ATC WEEKLY

 
ATC Pub Run – Training Over Festive Season

NEWS:

ATC Pub Run
A reminder of our Pub Run, taking place this coming Tuesday, 12 December.  We will start at the Green Point Cricket Club at 18:00.  Perhaps a warm-up lap around the field followed by a plyometric drink in the GPCC bar.  We will visit a few pubs along the seaboard and in the Waterfront before finishing at Extrablatt on Somerset Road.  Please bring cash for the drinks as we won’t be in one place long enough to run a tab (no pun intended).
 

TRAINING:  Details here...

Training times for the festive season are shown in the tables below.  Please keep an eye on the Training WhatsApp groups as plans may change due to activities around the stadium and availability of club resources over this period.

There is a social running group, RunSocial, hosting a run every Thursday morning, staring from the Sea Point Pavilion at 05:55.  The routes vary, the pace is social, it takes about an hour and everyone is welcome, if you wear socks (any colour).  For updates on the weekly plan, please visit:  https://www.facebook.com/runsocialct/
 

EVENTS:  Details here...

The Jailbreak Triathlon, originally scheduled for 9 December has been cancelled due to the venue being unavailable. 
 
Lomond Off-Road Triathlon
Take in the Walker Bay Fynbos Conservancy and Lomond Wine Estate on Saturday, 16 December!  With a large dam, beautiful views, stunning routes between fynbos valleys, this venue just outside Gansbaai is perfect for a Triathlon.  Be part of the inaugural Lomond Triathlon, which is set to become a popular off-road Triathlon in the Western Cape.  There is a shaded and covered area, with a full view of the swim and transition where supporters will be entertained with live music, good food, good coffee and good wine!  They will be cheering you on, secretly hoping that you take the whole day to finish the race.
