Registration Time!

Registration is open for the Ripon Medical Center Triathlon at Green Lake. 

Waves are organized by age and gender, so you can register anytime.  (A "wave" is the group of people that you start the triathlon with, this staggers out the numbers so there isn't as many people on the course at one time.)

To register, visit the official race website by clicking here.   Register for the "Individual Short Course" if you are planning to do the sprint distance.  There is also a relay option on the site.  The cost is $60 / person until July 1st.

It's Time - Make The Commitment!

The New Year is here and now it's time for you to get moving and start getting ready for the Ripon Medical Center Triathlon in Green Lake!  We've had a great response so far, but I know a lot of you are still on the fence.  There is still plenty of time to get ready, even if you haven't worked out in years! 

So take a few minutes to re-read my previous posts, and get motivated!

I've been hearing from some of you that you don't know where you would be able to practice swimming.  So I checked out a bunch of the local park and rec departments, and it turns out that you can't use that as an excuse!  Lots of them have open swim, adult swim instruction, and swim groups, and you usually don't have to be a resident to participate.  Here are just a few:
