No one likes the situation we're in, but we're here and we need to make the best of it. A number of events have been and will be rescheduled in such a way that they might as well be a different event. It is very likely that large events through May or June will not be held, and potentially the entire summer season.
I would not want to take a shot at predicting any further, but it will all depend on if we as a world are able to contain, cure, vaccinate, and eradicate, and what the timetable for all that is. Suffice it to say, the spring and summer seasons appears glum with regards to large scale athletic events. I am hopeful that things are under control for later summer and fall events.
What does that mean for you? While it will be personally disappointing to have to miss your planned events, it behooves you to maintain your healthy life and exercise routines....

To celebrate NTW, the Headwaters Trathlon Club asked it's members to submit some words about their first triathlon experience. Cool idea, right?
We got permission to repost some of their submissions. We'll post others soon...

Maybe you’re just worried about your job, health, and family. Either way, if you can find the time, working out is still important.
This blog will provide you with three great reasons to keep training consistently, even in extreme circumstances.
Reason 1: You’ll Stay Fit (Even if You Decrease Your Volume!)
It may sound obvious, but if you stop training altogether, you’ll lose fitness. And the longer you hit pause, the more fitness you’ll lose. Many of us are all-too-aware of this fact, and it may be causing you some anxiety—relax, it’s not all bad! ...
