  Hello, Bay State Tri Team! For those of you who are new here, welcome! And for the returning team mates, glad to see you back! In the blog this month, our BSTT Board have some messages for you: John Cali and Zach Samuels- TRAINING COORDINATORS: For anyone going long this year, especially those doing IM Mont-Tremblant or IM Lake Placid; Sea to Summit; IM 70.3 Western Massachusetts; or IM 70.3 Mont-Tremblant, these first few months of the year are critical to building your base. More importantly, building your leg strength on the bike is key to each of these courses. So join me Saturday mornings on ZWIFT at 8am for my weekly edition of “The Saturday Morning Pain Cave”. This weekly ride is dedicated to climbing and focus’s on building climbing strength, both mentally and physically!! Tour de Zwift is also underway through Feb 5. If long hill climb is not what you’re looking for, try signing up for the longer TDZ stage on Saturday morning at 8am and ride (or race) with your...

First on the circuit is Cycle Life Studio on January 29th, followed by FastSplits in Needham on February 11th. Finally, compet...
