On any given day in the off-season, we have at least a dozen bikes in the studio awaiting the next computrainer class. We’re happy to say that these cyclists have taken to the road with new goals and new expectations, and brought their new power threshold along for the ride!
TBT: This is from 2016, but as we head into warmer weather, the timing is right to talk about beach running. I love running on the beach, but I recommend shoes for anything more than very short distance.

Congratulations to Andrea Nonne for having a great race at the New York City Half Marathon today. Andrea has been training for the Coastal Half Marathon, and didn’t realize that she won the lottery for NYC until a couple of months ago, so we re-directed her training to this race. We planned on using this race as a warm up for Coastal, but it turns out that she got a nice PR with 2:12:51. Great job, Andrea, and congrats on a great race! Next up, Coastal Delaware Half Marathon! Coach Bruce
Who’s chomping at the bit for open water swimming? We’re counting the days! Until then, try Coach Bruce’s "Skills and Drills" at the Y. All levels, and all kinds of fun!
Contratuations to Betsy Tootell for another Ironman 70.3, and another podium finish. Ironman 70.3 New Zealand. One the other side of the world, a different hemisphere, a bike that was not her own, riding on the "wrong" side of the road, and wind. And she crushed it! Great job, Betsy! Now you have a week to recover and enjoy your time in New Zealand with Doug. We’ll see you in a week to get back to Boston Marathon training!
Skills and Drills at the Y in Rehoboth Beach. New Spring Session starts this Friday. 7:15PM. It’s fun and challenging. All levels welcome. Contact Coach Bruce Clayton for more info.
We’d like to welcome Claudia Heim to Team TriCoach. Claudia has been attending my Sunday Computrainer class and Friday night Skills and Drills swim class, and I will also be helping her with running. Claudia has done several Ironman races, and will be doing Ironman Switzerland in July. Welcome to TriCoach, Claudia! We’re happy to have you on the team! Coach Bruce
Happy TriCoachiversary, Kristan! It all started with that gift certificate from Neil 4 years ago. I bet you never thought you’d be doing triathlons. 🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️
Had a great time in our Skills and Drills class tonight. It’s hard work, but it’s also a lot of fun.
Coach Bruce’s Friday night swim class at the Y is up to 8 people, but there’s still room to grow if you want to join us. The more people we get, the more lanes we get. This is a fun and challenging class.
John knows that a pool workout at sunrise guarantees him a lane. Psyched to be coaching this guy all the way over in Hawaii. John’s next big race is Hawaii 70.3, and the run course goes right through his backyard. He’s CRUSHING his training!
Perfect conditions for a morning run on the boards with Claudia. 💥🏃♂️🏃♂️💥. Off season training definitely makes the winter pass quickly.

This year, the event raised $840 with additional support from a spi…Two words that are tough for some of us runners to put into use: treadmill and recovery. I hear a lot of people refer to the treadmill as the “dreadmill” because, quite frankly, they can be kind of boring. I don’t think that way. The treadmill is a great tool for interval work and, yes, recovery runs. That’s the other word we don’t like. Recovery. After all, we continuously want to test out bodies and take our training to the limit, so slowing it down a little can take some self discipline. While hard training is a big part of what we do, there is definitely a time for easy active trIning. If you want to know more about running, contact us at TriCoach. Coach Bruce
Cape Henlopen Girls LAX strength and conditioning training at Body Shop Fitness Center and just having finished their one mile test practice on the boards yesterday with Coach Bruce Clayton. They CRUSHED it!

Kristan didn’t know she was doing a test set until she got to the pool. Maybe that’s why she did so well!
