Special Track Practice Tomorrow

Team Nebraska — Mon, 28 May 2012 12:40:58 +0000

Since there's a 5th Tuesday this month, we're going to be having a special workout. This one will be a social pub run. We'll be meeting at the UNO Track (actually at the 4-way stop below the track). From there we'll be running to a total of 3 bars. It's a good time to hear people's stories and get to know each other better.

Lake Manawa Bricks

Team Nebraska — Thu, 10 May 2012 00:19:50 +0000

The weekly Lake Manawa bricks are starting up this weekend (first will be 5/12) at 7:00 am. The workouts usually consist of:

Some form of open water swim (people go varying distances)
1 bike loop around the lake warmup (each loop is just over 7 miles)
2 loop bike TT - each person is sent of individually and we start the slowest person first, separated by 30 seconds each
2 mile run
1 loop bike cool down

Feel free to do as much or as little of the workout as you please. The workout is subject to change to the whims of those who are there.

Check out our Facebook page for exact details. Remember, this is an at your own risk event, there is no support in the lake, just the support of a bunch of other people doing the same stupid thing.

Tuesday Night Track Practices

Team Nebraska — Thu, 10 May 2012 00:13:45 +0000

In case you haven't seen, the Tuesday night track practices have started up at the UNO track. The practices are at 5:45 pm every week. We are on a monthly rotation of workouts. The main set of the workout is always 3 miles. The rotation is:

week 1 - 12x400

week 2 - 6x800

week 3 - 4x1200

week 4 - 3x1600

As a note, the word is that any time UNO will be ripping up their track, so we might have to switch venues soon.

TNT Calendar Updated

The TNT calendar has been updated with all of the local races that I can find. Let me know if there are some that have been missed.

2012 Gear Order

Team Nebraska — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:30:12 +0000

TNT will be taking uniform orders for 2012.

Tri tops : $65 + tax
Tri shorts : $60 + tax
Everything comes in men's and women's sizes XS-3XL

Before you order, you'll need to try on the gear to ensure you buy the proper size. Jim Kueffner is getting a sizing kit, hopefully this weekend (Feb 25/26). If that is successful, you'll be able to come to his house to try on sizes and place an order.

Due to the cost of the items, you'll need to pay up front for the gear. TNT will purchase a limited number of items in excess of the committed order, to fill minimum numbers and to sell once people see how cool they are.

One last thing: You need to be a dues paying member of the club or club officer, to buy the official club gear. Download the membership form (link on the right) and bring it to the sizing party.

Show Your Medal Party

Team Nebraska — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:32:20 +0000

Come one come all to the annual Show Your Medal Party. It is a time to brag about your accomplishments of the year and to share in those experiences with your fellow athletes. The event will be November 19th at Sam and Louies. Find out more information at our Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=184269251657709

End of Season Super Sprint

Team Nebraska — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 00:34:55 +0000

Make sure to join the rest of your TNT mates at Lake Manawa for the annual end of the season super sprint triathlon. We do one "race" to get everyone's handicap and then do a second race going slowest to fastest based off of finishing times of the first race. Doing it this way ensures that essentially everyone finishes the 2nd race at the same time and everyone has a pretty equal chance to win an award.

Afterwards we do a potluck pancake feed and just hang out for awhile, so come one-come all it's always a good time.

You can find the exact details on our Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=264169006927897

Welcome to the new site

Matthew Brand — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 01:29:18 +0000

Welcome to the new TNT webiste. I hope to have this site a bit more interactive than it previously was. Please feel free to send any suggestions using the "contact us" link at the top. I'm willing to give accounts to anyone who requests them right now (and is a member of the club) so people can post multi-sport news/info out for everyone to read.
