THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (August 17-23)! Now that we have an event on the calendar (Gators DIY Tri on September 13), it's time to get prepared! So far we have 14 committed to the event including... • Sprint Tri: 2 • Olympic Tri: 4 • Half IRONMAN Tri: 2 • Other combinations: 6 Take advantage of some of the many opportunities available to you this week from both the club and our super sponsors to get ready for the DIY Tri or any of the other virtual and real events on the calendar! For those of you looking for OWS opportunities Mid-Atlantic Multisport's next scheduled swim is Wednesday night (stay tuned for possible updates due to the Marsh Creek water situation) and French Creek Racing's schedule includes OWS training opportunities on Tuesday (tonight!) and Thursday evenings plus Sunday morning. Also, please note that this week's and next week's evening club rides (Tuesday and Thursday) will start at 6pm due to earlier sunsets. Besides all of that, Deb Rocco is leading a group on Saturday morning! Just a reminder to please observe social distancing before, during, and after our workouts as it's the best way to ensure that we can continue to offer club cycling, running, and swim workouts. Here is what is on the calendar for club training opportunities this week; to assist us with planning, please indicate "Going" for any workouts that you plan to attend... • Tuesday, August 18, 6:00pm-7:30pm, Reynolds Dog Park: SRT Intervals Ride... Looks like great weather this evening and we already have 10 "Going" to this uncoached group ride! Also, if you are running late and we take off without you, you know where to find us (and you might be better off parking at the Pawlings Rd. Trailhead). See "Event" for details (and note that we're back to our usual starting spot at the dog park)... https://www.facebook.com/events/2183580898454409/ • Wednesday, August 19, 6:45pm-7:45pm, Spring Valley YMCA Indoor Lap Pool: Swim Workout led by Logan Washburn. There is a limit of 12 swimmers so get your "Going" response in by Noon today if you are interested in attending! Note that as of the time of this posting, we are at 10 (Logan and I do not count). If there are any new additions that put us over 12 by Noon today, we'll do a drawing for the 12 spots and announce the outcome on Tuesday evening or early Wednesday morning.
