Branson Mountain Man Triathlon Race Review
By Steve Johnson
The first annual Branson Mountain Man Triathlon was held Saturday, August 21st with over 75 racers taking the challenge of the infamous bike course and an equally daunting run course. The Branson RecPlex served as the host facility and provided a perfect starting point for what epitomizes Southwest Missouri triathlon racing. Southwest Missouri, and Branson in particular are known for their hilly and mountainous terrain. The Branson Mountain High Road is the most iconic stretch of roadway in Branson drawing cyclists of all levels and was the featured aspect of this event’s bike course. The High Road is also part of Ironman 70.3 Branson.
The buzz about this triathlon was focused around being a perfect sprint distance tri for those preparing for Ironman 70.3 Branson or those just looking for a challenging race. Challenging proved to be a serious understatement; just look at the finishing times and you will understand. When recapping the race with Jim Hoodenpyle, the overall winner with a time just over 1 hour and 30 minutes, we noticed

Open Water Swim, Picnic, and Tri Camp this Weekend: July 17-18, 2010
The 2011 Ozarks Multisport Club Open Water Swim and Picnic takes place at Moonshine Beach on Saturday, July 17, 2010. We have rented the Pavillion at Moonshine Beach, so bring the whole family. This event was a huge success last year.
Burgers, dogs, snacks, and beverages will be served! The event will begin promptly at 12:00 pm. We'll start heating up the coals about 12:30 pm, and have the drinks and snacks out. At the same time we'll have a brief dry land clinic about open water swimming for those of you who are new to this part of triathlon, and then a group swim. If you wish to wear a wetsuit just for the practice, feel free. The water will be warm. We will talk about getting in and out of your wetsuit. We'll have a couple of kayakers keeping an eye on the swimmers, but we stay close to the beach, just on the outside of the buoys that define the swim area. By the time we finish out swim, between 1:00 and 1:30 pm the burgers will be flippin' and the hot dogs a 'rollin. Expect the picnic to go on for another hour and a half, or so, and enjoy the beach area. I would expect the festivities to wrap up around 3-3:30 pm. The picnic and open water swim will dovetail our mini tri camp.

Quick Guide to Training With Heart Rate, Power and Pace
by Joe Friel (Original article found at http://joefriel.typepad.com/blog/)
I offer training plans to cyclists, triathletes and runners through TrainingPeaks.com. While I describe in most of my books how to set one's training zones, I still get lots of questions about how to do it from those who are new to my plans. So rather than answering all of those emails I will just point athletes to this post from now on. Even if you don't have any intentions to use a plan of mine, this may help you get your trining zone set up effectively.
