Conquer Fool’s Spring with fresh tips for your bike training from Karen Smyers While some reading this may belong to the small group of intrepid New Englanders who cycle outdoors year round, most of us have been living the indoor trainer life for months by now. And let’s be honest: March can be tough. It feels like spring is just around the corner, but then you see 30 degrees and snow on the forecast and you question all of your life choices that have led you to live in not California. New year’s resolutions and excitement about this year’s races might start to wane; the outdoor season feels ..read more

Are your kids texting about triathlon? Know the signs: LOL - love olympic length OMG  - openwater mighty grueling LMAO - like my aero outfit? TGIF - this gel is foul BRB - bonking real bad GRG - good ride green! Okay, so *one* of these is actually made up and specific to our Wheelworks Multisport community. What exactly is good ride green, or GRG? Maybe you’ve heard “GRG!” exchanged at the end of a workout, and maybe you’ve even been lucky enough to hear it directly from Kristof, the team legend who famously coined the phrase. While the saying has a certain je ne sais quoi essence, I’ll ..read more

It’s finally summer and the good people of WWMS are bursting with excitement for the 2023 triathlon season. With plenty of teammates preparing to kick off their racing season in the next couple of weekends (and some early season warriors already having raced Max Performance Tri’s Season Opener), now seemed a good time to share racing tips via the classic “what not to do” format. I asked the team for past race mistakes they’d be willing to share, and boy howdy did you all deliver. I appreciate this team for many things, one of which is our ability to laugh at ourselves! An interesting observa ..read more

training weekend / ˈtreɪ nɪŋ ˈwikˌɛnd / noun A period of 2-3 days in mid-May when members of Wheelworks Multisport travel to complete any number of epic outdoor bike rides, runs, and swims together, while also enjoying meals, games, and quality team bonding An opportunity for athletes to focus on the serious endeavors of building athletic strength, increasing food consumption capacity (this year's rate of devour for Teddie and Fuel for Fire was frankly awe-inspiring), and farm animal cuteness tolerance (I’ve been told I shouldn’t stop mid-race to take pictures of baby cows, so it’s important ..read more

2021 Year in Review

By Amy Rinaldo In this new era where time ebbs and flows sporadically and it feels impossible to ever know what day it is, where reality can change at the drop of a hat while also carrying a mind-numbing monotony, where we have lived and continue to live through “unprecedented times” and grow increasingly tired of such overused phrases, all I can say is…thank goodness for this team! It’s March 2022 and I’m long overdue for our 2021 retrospective, but I hope you will join me down memory lane and look back at the ways we helped each other stay healthy and sane last year.  The start to the ..read more

When your body retires before you do

by Amy Moody, President ​ As endurance athletes it’s ingrained in our inner psyche to push ourselves towards some future goal that we cannot accomplish today. Thus, when injury strikes we don’t hesitate to come up with a plan and begin the process of making ourselves better. The process might pale in comparison to our usual methods of bettering ourselves, and be a lot less fun, but we know we must continue because it will be worth it to get back to all those things we love. However, there’s a dirty little secret no one likes to talk about or even acknowledge: not all bodies make it back. No ..read more

WWMS’s 2020 Year in Review

Plenty has been said about what was lost in 2020. The tragedy, fear, and disappointment we all faced, combined with all of our favorite activities grinding to a halt, means that most of us are ready to forget last year like a bad dream. I do not wish to minimize the very real pain and loss caused by the-virus-which-shall-not-be-named. But in reflecting back on how our team dealt with the past year, I was reminded of how strong my teammates are, how much we achieved together, and how many memories we managed to make in the midst of all this chaos. Though they may have been few and far between ..read more
