Training weekend 2023!

training weekend
/ ˈtreɪ nɪŋ ˈwikˌɛnd /
noun

1. A period of 2-3 days in mid-May when members of Wheelworks Multisport travel to complete any number of epic outdoor bike rides, runs, and swims together, while also enjoying meals, games, and quality team bonding
   
2. An opportunity for athletes to focus on the serious endeavors of building athletic strength, increasing food consumption capacity (this year's rate of devour for Teddie and Fuel for Fire was frankly awe-inspiring), and farm animal cuteness tolerance (I’ve been told I shouldn’t stop mid-race to take pictures of baby cows, so it’s important to train for this)
   
3. The unofficial start of the triathlon season and summer!

Last weekend Wheelworks Multisport held our annual Training Weekend in Franconia, New Hampshire at the lovely Franconia Inn. The air was filled with the smell of flowers and bike lube, the sound of birdsong and chatter about upcoming races and summer plans, and the beautiful view of green on green. 

To everyone who challenged themselves to complete their longest ever bike ride, to everyone who encouraged and cheered on their teammates, to everyone who did a run brick off of an extremely hilly bike ride, to everyone who leaned into the more relaxing aspects of the weekend (though I hear the “Uno” games got a little intense so I’m not sure how relaxing that actually was), to Alyson and the members of the board who put a lot of work into planning: KUDOS to you all and thanks for making this training weekend such a special one! 

Let's Go Green Team!
