We’re actually running the “Ecoman” virtual triathlon in Second Life as a monthly series now!
The next event will take place on Oct. 20 at 11am PDT (7pm GMT). You need to register beforehand at SL Triathlon, as previously.
There will be a training session so you get to know the course.
We also run “spinning” classes twice a week (Tues/Thurs) at 12 noon PDT, which are aimed at training people in REAL LIFE via the magic of SL. Spin at home on your trubo trainer, PC in front of you, and get instructions and music via SL. :-)
