    Team Technique Workshops
    Rachel Saks and Jen Scalise have set up a series of advanced triathlon workshops that are organized for BTT members and run by BTT's own professional coaches and trainers.

    CORE STRENGTH TRAINING: Thursday, July 10th, 5:30pm at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, MA - Join a summer evening bike ride followed by BTT's Karen Ghiron (Fitness Consultant, Wellness Works, Inc.) leading a session on core strengthening.  We will focus on working the major muscle groups of your abdominal and back that need to be strengthened in order to achieve top performance.  It is never too late in the season to work on core strengthening.  Bring your exercise ball if you have one (but not necessary).
    more info at "Members Only - Team Technique Workshops" on the team Bulletin Board

    Team Photo and Video Production
    This year, the team will be producing a video of the seasons’ endeavors – athletic and otherwise.  In order to have the fodder to produce such a tome, we want to encourage everyone to bring cameras (digital, film, and video) to any race or event in which you participate.  All we ask is that you submit the images to Regina O’Toole or Rob Sczupak in a timely fashion so we may work on this effort in real time.  If you are interested in participating in this activity, please respond to Rob directly at Rob Sczupak.
