So yesterday started the first day of a new experiment. I am coaching an intro to triathlon program through the Recreation Department at Rutgers University. The class sold out quickly, and there is a waiting list just as long as the number of participants. That is the most exciting part, the possibility of having two sections would be great for this.
We had 26 show up last night which was the most relaxed class we'll have. There was a great deal of getting to know each other, and some basic outlines of what we will do and what to expect.
I was encouraged that there was a great mix of people with some experience and some with none. It will make the class mess well, and allow mentoring to occur.
I have designed a program for them to train throughout the course of the week, and we will have one training session together, to focus on specifics and form. Many have expressed an interest in joining for other group related training, which I hope to encourage.
Next week is a swim focus, with a friend and swim coach coming to lend a hand, and give us some great drill to work on our form.
Football -
National letter of intent day yesterday, and despite some who backed out Rutgers still had its most highly touted class ever. Hopefully things can be built on. Lots of seniors to replace.
TV - I have been behind in all the shows, so I have no idea what happened on 90210 this week, and FNL is still tomorrow. Man I have way too much to do
