WORKOUT NOTES: - THE ICE CREAM CLUB IS BACK! Featured on Tuesday evenings starting this week is your opportunity to gain membership to the exclusive Gators Ice Cream Club by completing at least 3 intervals in a single session. And if you have even higher aspirations, you can reach higher tiers in the club by completing even more intervals. - French Creek Racing OWS Race #1 rescheduled to Tuesday, May 20. Poor weather conditions the past two Tuesdays have lead to FCR's first OWS race of 2025 to be postponed to this coming Tuesday, May 20. The race includes 1/2 mile and 1 mile options with waves between 5pm-6:30pm.
