JOIN US FOR SHOW-AND-GO TRAINING
You don’t need to be a member to participate in our “show-and-go” training (you show up ready and attired to work out, and off we go, whether it’s 2 people or a hundred). New members and people thinking about training for a triathlon are more than welcome. Since we’re a social club, you might want to bring some money to hang out at post-workout haunts.
As always, we ask you wear a helmet when biking, follow the rules of the road, and show courtesy and respect to both vehicles and your fellow MAD DOGS. There’s no prize at the end of our training for the fastest: we admire good sportsmanship from people of all abilities and speed.
Sunday Bike/Brick Run at Fort De Soto
Meet at Snack Bar/Gift Shop parking lot 100 yds north of the fort. Ready to roll at 8:00 a.m. Our unique format works for all paces. We bike 20 miles with two sprints, rendezvous after each sprint so nobody is left behind. Followed by an optional 4-mile brick run, or an open water swim.
Monday Morning Open Water Swim
This is a seasonal event, so check our Facebook page for updates. This will start up again in April. Meet at 8:00 am at the Paradise Grille in Pass-a-Grille. Any distance and pace.
Wednesday Morning Run
Meet at Addicted to the Bean coffee shop on Pinellas Bayway in Isla del Sol, ready to run at 7:30 am (check Facebook for any time changes). All paces work, and even some walkers. Coach Frank Adornato often provides a training plan, but it's your run, so make it any distance and pace that works for you. Coffee follows, of course!
Wednesday Night: The Famous MAD DOGS Open Water Swim at Pass-A-Grille Beach (During Daylight Saving Time)
Hurley Park Shelter, 1600 Gulf Way, Pass-A-Grille Beach/St. Pete Beach. Meet before 6:00 PM on the sidewalk across from Hurley Park, then walk north on the beach towards the Don Cesar & swim back with the group. Social afterwards at the Shelter. Every Wednesday during DST. (attendance has been light this year, so don't expect a lot of people)
