Upcoming Weeks

Hi everyone. Sorry about the short notice on the Sunday ride. We should have rode too. Stupid weatherman.

Here is what is going on this week:

First and foremost...WE HAVE ENOUGH CLOTHING TO ORDER!!!!!! I am taking the samples to work to send back tomorrow. If anyone of you has last minute requests or needs to try something on, let me know (bigmike600@charter.net) and I can leave the samples at my house until Tuesday but if I don't hear from anyone, the stuff goes in the mail tomorrow. Thank you Alison for getting that done. It is a big project and dealing with the clothing rep can be a hassle. Much appreciation for doing that.

Second: No Friday night ride or Sunday ride for Mike or Jenny this week. Feel free to set something up among yourselves. We have a graduation party to go to Friday night and Sunday is Capital View Triathlon.

Third: Open water swimming this Thursday at 5:30 at Storrs lake in Milton. I will bring a kayak and we can figure out someone to be the safety person. Take turns or maybe I can recruit a non triathlete type to come along just to paddle. Please let me know who all plans to attend and we can get something set up as to where to meet. I am going to try to do something open water at least once per week. Possibly doing Lake Monona swimming area on weekends. Also Lake Ripley should be opening soon. Anyone swimming or wants to set up a group swim, let us know. I can bring the kayak for safety.

Fourth: Free masters swimming this Tuesday and Thursday from 8-9 at Marshall Middle School in Janesville. Come and check it out and see if it is something you may want to get signed up for.

I am thinking of changing up the Friday night, Sunday bike rides. With Ironman fast approaching (99 days for us) I think I would like it if we did a Friday night ride one week and then a Sunday ride the following week. With the Tuesday tri out starting I may start to use Fridays for me as a longer ride or longer run on a bi weekly basis (people can still come along but I doubt we will have time to cook out and hang out). We will be getting the camaraderie on Tuesdays that we are now doing on Friday. Input?

Last: Tuesday the 16th should be our first tri out at Rockport. I think the water will be cold so wetsuits may be a good idea for the first couple tri outs.

Happy Training Everyone.
