Lake Placid Open Water Swim Training Weekend, June 22-24, 2012
If you feel in your heart that open water swimming is achievable, fun and full of adventure, that confidence will make race day feel like a walk in the park. But if you think Jaws is driving a submarine under your bacon fat coated feet, waiting to gorge himself, then you will enter the water filled with dread and your competition will have a leg up on you before the gun.
Develop your skill and confidence in open water swimming during a three-day swim-oriented training weekend next June 22-24 in Lake Placid, New York, the best swim venue on the Ironman race circuit. You'll train in calm, clear waters under the direction of a USA Swimming certified coach and a trio of USAT certified coaches. Each day you'll get instruction in open water swimming, tips on your own stroke and swim form, and swim a distance suited to your fitness and skills.

The Indoor Riding Season Is Underway -- Saturday Morning and Tuesday Evening
Whether you're new to cycling or planning on a break-through season in 2012, you will become a stronger more confident and capable rider after a winter of indoor cycling sessions with Kinetic Motion.
Don't confuse our eight-week programs with spin class or pre-packaged electronic video sessions. Created by professional cycling and triathlon coaches, our sessions will build your base endurance, strength and speed through progressive workouts that grow more challenging each week.
Our coaches work with you at every session, helping to build your confidence and skill. We provide video analysis so you can study your form on the bike and refine your pedal stroke.
Our first four Tuesday night sessions will provide a special focus on helping newcomers to indoor cycling find their comfort zone, with tips on form and technique, and a thorough explanation of heart rate zone training.
Our indoor sessions are great workouts infused with lots of fun. In addition to plenty of laughs, every session includes a lesson on endurance training we call "Simple Science."

From a recent article in Inside Triathlon magazine:
"If riding indoors is a trend in triathlon, then riding indoors in a group setting is a trend within that trend. Of course, indoor cycling classes have existed for a long time, but indoor cycling classes designed especially for competitive endurance athletes are much newer. The typical fitness club spin class is a good workout, but not a triathlon-specific workout. The workouts themselves don't focus on the intensities that triathletes need to develop, are not progressive and often are not challenging enough for serious triathletes."
The Group Ride Rolls Out Every Saturday Morning and Tuesday Evening
The Kinetic Motion group ride -- every Saturday morning and Tuesday evening -- is a ride that's just right for cyclists and triathletes on every level of experience and fitness. The rides set out from Kinetic Motion headquarters at the EMC center, where there's always plenty of parking and a locker room to store your gear. Under the supervision of the region's most qualified USAT and USACycling coaches, you'll ride the rolling backroads of south county, covering distances from 17 to 70 miles, matched to a group suited to your current level of fitness and the number of miles you want to cover. Maps with turn-by-turn cue sheets are provided so that no one gets lost. Click here to check out the routes.
Soup to Nuts: The Training/Travel
Select the race of your dreams from our list of designation races, or come up with a fabulous race on your own, perhaps one that you and your training pals would like to tackle together. We will create a customized training plan and coach you during preparation for the event. We will arrange your flight, meet you when you arrive, deliver you to accommodations near the race start that we've booked for you, and get you home again afterward.Here's a report from travel coordinator Deepak Patel on one of our featured races for 2011: Chile, home of the Ironman 70.3 Pucon, is the perfect destination for those looking to escape from the North American winter. Chile is a magical wilderness that is 4,300 km long and only 180 km wide at its widest point. It is cut off by the Andes Mountains to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Much of this land is thankfully still undeveloped. The country offers an immense desert, unique Easter Island, unforgettable lakes and volcanoes, cosmopolitan Santiago and the magnificent Patagonia. Each of these areas has something special to offer. While it would be fool hardy to think that you can explore the entire country in one trip, a two-week stay will provide you with an experience you won't soon forget. Ironman 70.3 Pucon is a great reason to pack your bags and head to South America. The event is still accepting applications and our travel package details will be available soon. Be sure to register for the event and then let us plan an unforgettable trip for you. Deepak@kmotionsports.com
