Ah, the first snow has graced us with an appearance.  The cold snap of winter has us searching for gloves, hats, and our brand-new running shoes.  The Brooklyn Landsharks are taking to the roads of Prospect Park again for another round of training for the Spring Season.  And while the name sounds so warming, it actually means many sub-freezing days and nights in the park doing hill repeats, out-and-backs and squats.  Lots of squats.

But with a new season comes some new faces.  This year the Brooklyn Landsharks have grown in size.  We are now a squad of seven.  Our two new members (aka Landpups) are: Jessica and Alex!

Landpup Jessica!

Landpup Alex!

We are thrilled to have them aboard.  And they have all the skills necessary to be a first season triathlon: eager excitement, bouts of nervousness, and a not entirely clear sense of what’s ahead.  Oh, sure, Jessica’s run a few marathons. Fast. And Alex has ridden a bike before.

We are excited to have new teammates.  And we are excited to have begun training. It’s going to be a fantastic season.  And it’s already begun.
