Good afternoon, BSTTies and a very happy Friday to you all! It's been an AMAZING season. YOU all have really stepped up your game- I think this has been an EPIC year for volunteering, competing, challenging yourselves with racing and training.. You all have SHOWN UP this season, and that's awesome. We have two races left on the Championship Race Series, and I cannot believe that we are a week away from SEPTEMBER!!!! Next up is PilgrimMan - this will be a great race- if you have not signed up yet, and are thinking you want to do a rolling sprint or later season half, this race is for you. Not racing and want to check it out? Volunteer! After that, we have Buzzard's Bay Tri - this is going to be the end of season race for us, so I will be there with Johnnie and Patty grillin and chillin after the race.

  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...

 Good morning, BSTTies!   Yes, it's the last Blog entry of the year, and we have so much to look back on.  Our team had so many firsts, so many accomplishments, so many great memories.  As we look to 2023, it's time to plan for the memories we will make as a team in the new year.  But before we do, let's be grateful for being alive and being able to do what we love with some really cool teammates.  Here are some things that we have planned for the first three months of 2023: We will have our OWN HEAT at the NE Time Trials at Cycle Life .  Here is the info from Russet: January 29th - Bay State heat at 8:30, we had the biggest heat last year.
