Come joing us for the perfect workout pair: Spin and HIIT Combining a spin class with High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a fantastic way to maximize your workout in just one hour. Both of these fitness styles complement each other perfectly, offering a comprehensive exercise experience that targets various aspects of physical fitness. Structuring Your Workout To make the most out of your one-hour session, consider the following structure: 7 people on Spin Bikes and 7 people doing HIIT then after 30 min Switch. 1. Warm-Up (5 minutes): Begin with light cycling to gradually increase your heart rate and prepare your muscles. 2. Spin Session (25 minutes): Engage in a high-energy spin class focusing on endurance, speed, and resistance. Challenge yourself with varied intensities and terrains. 3. Switch 4. HIIT Circuit (25 minutes): Transition into a HIIT routine with exercises such as burpees, squats, push-ups, and planks. Perform each exercise for 30 seconds, followed by a 10-second rest. 5.

Krankenstein is a team relay race.  Each team brings any ONE bike, your sneakers and a costume if you wish!!  All participants start together, one team mate riding, one team mate running. The team mate rides until they feel the need to run. They will then drop the bike and start running to get their team further in the course. The running teammate MUST be on the lookout for their bike, find it, and get riding! Catch up with your teammate and then ride until they want to run again!! It’s a “leap frog” like scenario! Krankenstein is free for all BTC members.  After the event we will be heading out to a local establishment for some yummy snacks. https://www.buffalotriathlonclub.com/workouts-events/annual-events/krankenstein

The annual Buffalo Triathlon Club "Spring Thing" offers a variety of distances to bike and run on Grand Island out of Beaver Island. The event is non-competitive, intended to help you to push your personal limits and welcome the triathlon season with fellow teammates.  Parking is next to Pavilion 4. It's free to all BTC members but you must be registered before midnight on Thursday May 16th. If you are not a member, but would like to participate in this event, you are welcome to join. The event start times are staggered so that participants should finish around the same time. • 7am:  The "transition area" opens. • 8am: Long Course - 100 mile bike ride (5 loops of Grand Island) followed by a 10km (6.2Mi) run. • 9am: Timed Century - 100 mile bike ride (5 loops of Grand Island).

On course aid ( water , Gatorade, fruit will be provided at transition , (1.5mile and 3 mile run distances) it is recommended that participants bring their own personal fuels( don't try new things on race day!)   It is very important that participants arrive early enough to sign in for their perspective start times , receive their bib, go over any route changes or details. Courses may be changed or altered based on conditions.  If you arrive late and miss your start time you will be bumped to shorter distance. These "rules" are in place for a smooth run event and not a logistical nightmare. Participants are expected to start at the time they register for. We will not start riders at non-scheduled times as it makes scheduling volunteers and coordinating the event harder. Out of respect to all those volunteering, course cut-off time will be 3:30pm. We kindly ask that you return to the shelter at that time and sign out even if this means you did not finish your distance. You can always go back out on your own afterwards. Please note that this is NOT a closed course, so all traffic laws must be followed and caution is warranted the entire day. NUTRITION:  Participants are encouraged to bring their own nutrition (food, drink, etc) to complete the event that they are registered for, however the BTC will also provide water, Infinit products, and other snacks. We will have supplies available at the park shelter, as well as at a tent on the bike course, and a table on the run course. Participants are welcome to stage their own supplies at these locations as well. According to the web site for Beaver Island Park, there will not be a charge to enter the park on the day of the event. We are always looking for volunteers to help with this event. If you are interested in volunteering please register as a volunteer if you can help us! If you have any questions about this event, you can direct them to the events committee.

Our sister Tri club, ITC, will be hosting two swim clinics and they have very generously extended our club the opportunity to join them.  ITC Co-Presidents, Emilie and Sarah, are both former colligate swimmers and USA Swim Coaches.  Clinics will be held at University of Buffalo Alumni Arena on March 23rd and April 27th, both at 8am. There will be 4 lanes available.  You can expect a technique oriented clinic (working on body alignment and breathing) and a workout oriented clinic. They willl individualize both clinics to members' abilities. We will provide a waiver for BTC members to sign upon arrival. Members can park in the "La Salle" lot by Alumni.
