Town Hall Video [May 2020]
A few times a year, we gather as a community to take stock of Endurance Nation and where things are at. This year has been more, keeping us connected far longer than the average season. Despite the challenges we face, we should all be proud about how we're handling the pandemic and the fallout from it.
Here is the video from the full event. The recording is split 50/50 as Coach Talk Time and Open Discussion. The talking points for the call are below the clip. Please feel free to comment!
Talking Points
Welcome and Thank You
Three Things that Stand Out for Me
- Commitment
- Compassion
- Community
Effect of COVID-19 on the Endurance Industry
- Full Stop, Slow to Start
- Massive Financial Burden
- Consolidation of Races Could Be a Death Knell for Triathlon
- The Experience Industry as we know it is in trouble.
Where We Stand Today:
- Postpone to the Future, but the Future is Uncertain
- If they have a race, will the people come?
Our Current Focus
- Staying Active - Building your Physical and Mental health.
- Season Training - how can we continue your progress safely?
- Event Creation - Can we challenge your fitness and motivate / inspire you?
- UltraMay
- August Race
- Virtual Bike Camp
Short Term Future
- EN Camps are OFF for 2020, but ON for 2021
- Encouraging solo events in case real-world ones don’t pan out
- Focusing on the Opportunities and now what has been lost.
