EPC Multisport

With 2011 coming to a close, we already have some big things coming for 2012 here at EPC. This is just a quick rundown of some of the things coming in the months ahead…

• EPC has partnered with Adrenalin Cycles as the new team shop. The new relationship will bring many advantages to the EPC family including a new team name: TEAM Adrenalin, powered by EPC Multisport! Other benefits include killer team deals and discounts on the gear and service you need, team clothing, and team support at races.
• A new “Leadership Team” will be created to act as the group training ride and run leaders for all of our “unstructured” group training events. This team will hold an open application process (happening soon) that all TEAM Adrenalin members can apply for. In return for their participation, the Leadership Team will receive special incentives and bonuses as a way to show our appreciation.
• The new EPC Training Lab is in the process of being created (should be ready to roll by mid-November) and will feature swim technique training and video analysis via an Endless Pool, along with bike and run lactate threshold testing on a Computrainer and treadmill, respectively. These new services being offered will be available to TEAM Adrenalin members as well as EPC coached athletes.
• The EPC Service Menu has been updated to include three levels of coaching along with basic training plans and individual consults. To compliment the two existing coaching options, Personal Coaching and Premium Coaching, we are adding the Group Coaching option. This option is intended to fill the gap between basic training plans and personal coaching, with a training plan geared towards specific TEAM Adrenalin events (Tri/XTERRA and XC/Endurance MTB options) that includes weekly coached workouts in swimming, biking and running along with a monthly conference call to cover training details for that month. The Personal Coaching option remains mostly unchanged while also including some additional features from the EPC Training Lab. Our Premium Coaching offering will include all of the bells-and-whistles from the EPC Training Lab to make it the most comprehensive coaching option available!
• Beginning in January running through April, many EPC group workouts will now be held at Green Mountain Rec Center in Lakewood. EPC has teamed up with the City of Lakewood to offer our popular stationary trainer workout series as well as a triathlon swimming group workout to TEAM Adrenalin members as well as the public. With the added exposure from the city, these workouts promise to be bigger and better than ever! The popular weekend outdoor training options will also be available  again this fall and winter.

Exciting stuff happening for sure! More info will be becoming available in the coming weeks so stay tuned. How do you take part in all of it? Join the TEAM! Open enrollment for TEAM Adrenalin will begin in November. Early enrollment will be held in November and December, where you can save $30 on membership and enroll for $120. In January the regular $150 membership fee will resume for the year. By becoming (or remaining) a TEAM Adrenalin member for 2012 you will gain access to a great group people training for similar events, challenging group workouts on a regular basis, access to the EPC Training Website, and discounts from EPC and Adrenalin Cycles. Make 2012 your best season yet in triathlon or mountain bike racing and join the TEAM!
