June Madison Ride

The first Endue It! ride on the IM Madison course was a blast! If you
are bored of riding the boring flat grounds of Naperville and
Plainfield the two and half hour trip up north is well worth your time.
This is a tough course with lots of fun hills. I recommend everyone of all abilities to get up there and give it a go as the course is well marked and something you can not replicate
down here in the Chicagoland area.

Newsome Physical & Hand Therapy

Injury Screening for Endure It! Club Members.

See the email below from Tim D'Onofrio who spoke at our May meeting and is offering a great benefit to our club members.

As a marathon runner and former competitive triathlete, I understand how frustrating it can be when nagging pain starts to affect your workouts. As a courtesy to Endure It! club members, I would like to offer a complimentary injury screening. If you have aches and pains that are not going away or if you have a long-standing condition and are not sure what to do, give me a call. I will perform a free injury screening and give you my best advice on how to manage it. Sometimes a few stretches and some ice can work wonders. For more involved cases, I will be happy to recommend a top-notch, endurance athlete-friendly physician to see. Either way, I can give you some direction and guidance. If a doctor has prescribed formal therapy or athletic rehabilitation, we can discuss that as well. I have 17 years experience working with athletes of all levels. I will do my best to keep you on target with your triathlon training and competition. Just call the office at (630) 357-4253 or e-mail me at timd@newsomept.com.

4th of July Metric Ride

Looking for something different to do on the 4th of July....how about riding the 4th of July Metric Ride presented by the Joliet Bicycle Club.

This will allow you to ride a bit of a different route than usual, have a full supported ride, see other folks besides the usual suspects out in Plainfield and help support the local bicycles clubs.

If interested more information can be found at http://www.jolietbicycleclub.org/Invitationals/July%204/jul4info.htm

Busy Weekends

Well last weekend brought another exciting weekend of racing. Plenty of folks were out racing in Batavia, Naperville, Kansas and even folks out in Marlyland plus many other places I am sure I am not aware of. Once again Endure It! had many members at the top of the leader board as well as some folks out completing their first triathlon. Congrats to everyone that raced this past weekend!


On Sunday, June 21st we will be having our first open water swim at Ohio St Beach in Chicago. We will be starting at 8:00 am so if you want to practice your open water swimming there is no better place to do it in Chicago. You swim parallel to the shore and the distance is marked which is perfect for all levels of swimmers. If you have any questions please drop us an email at EndureItClub@gmail.com

Good luck to all the folks racing this weekend especially those up at the Horribly Hilly Hundreds, IM CDA and IM Japan, those are some serious challenges!

Great Weekend!

What a great weekend for the club, it is safe to say Tri season is in full swing. This weekend was packed with action from Tri-Shark, Rockman, Lake Mills, the Winfield Criterium and even folks out in Conneticut at REV 3 as well as others that I am sure I missed.

Endure It! Club members cleaned up in the awards down at Tri-Shark in Bloomington, IL. It was great to see so many trophies come back up north and a great turnout by the club. It is definitely safe to say that the offseason training is paying off for a ton of club members this year.

With another busy weekend coming up with the Naperville Women's Tri and the Batavia Triathlon\Duathlon I am sure the success will continue.

Reminder that this Tuesday, June 7th is the rescheduled June club meeting and so far the weather looks like it will be cooperating. We will be leaving the store at 6:30 and riding out to Fermi Lab and back, followed up with some drinks and discussion on up coming races. It looks like we should have nice crowd so hope to see you there.

Congrats to all those that raced last weekend and good luck to those racing this weekend.
