UPCOMING EVENTS / TRAINING OPTIONS

sttrainerStephen Taylor is an endurance and triathlon coach in Nashville who has some unique programs available.

He has written two articles for our e-mail newsletter linked below.

Gearing Up for the Triathlon Season: A Primer for the Novice Triathlete. It is almost time for the prolific multisport season to begin. Do you want to get the most racing possible this summer? Coach Stephen Taylor outlines how to plan for a season of racing here.

All That Glitters is Not Iron. Team Magic races are sprint and olympic distance triathlons. Perhaps you are new to triathlon and eager to sign up for an Ironman. Coach Stephen Taylors pauses and asks for you to reconsider here.

His upcoming training groups:

Music City Triathlon July 26. Although this race has been held for 30 years, this will be the first year that it will be held in downtown Nashville. Be part of this historic event even if you haven't done a triathlon before. You can begin training with him for this race at the latest June 1, but the sooner you start the better. Race info here.

Women's Triathlon Training Group. This group meets Thursday mornings from 10am-noon. This is intended to be convenient for women who can't train before or after normal work hours. Don't worry if you are a female but can't make that time. There are plenty of co-ed sessions at other times.

He does individual coaching but the best value he offers is the Triathlon Training Group program. Each week has 6-8 sessions scheduled; if you register you can attend as many of these as you wish. Other advantages include that he is available for contact via phone and e-mail, and he provides written training plans to the group. Registration is 99/month.

The Music City Triathlon is making a big move to downtown Nashville and moving to mid-summer for its' 31st year. Team Magic took over the event in 2006 at a new location "down the street" from the previous. We truly enjoyed our three years at Nashville Shores and working with their fabulous staff. There were increasing struggles with residential development that impacted the safety and enjoyment of the bike course so we are excited to be teaming up with TDOT to provide a closed bike course in downtown Nashville.

The Buster Britton Memorial Triathlon is a great test before the Old Hickory Lake Triathlon - these races are basically sisters with the same distance 400 yard open water swim in calm waters, almost the same bike distance at 13 miles for Buster and just shy of 13 for Old Hickory. Both runs total 3 miles, at Old Hickory we just split the run.

Oak Mountain State Park is a beautiful venue located just about 10 miles south of the city of Birmingham. Register by May 26th to enjoy the early entry fee! Visit the web site for complete details.
