THIS WEEK IN TRI CLUB (September 7-13)! Last Saturday we completed our second and final training workout at Blue Marsh for this coming weekend's "Gators DIY Tri" taking place on Sunday, September 13! If you are planning to participate as an athlete, spectator, or in a support role, please indicate "Going" on the event... https://www.facebook.com/events/2779980305660422. Also, we'll have a Facebook Live "Gators DIY Tri Athlete's Briefing / Q&A" session this Thursday evening starting at 8:30pm. We also have another "club event" on Saturday with French Creek Racing's "River Day SwimFest/SwimRun" event... an actual live event! There are options for a half mile OWS, a one mile OWS, a 5K OWS, and a swim/run/swim combo that includes a 5K run sandwiched between two half mile swims! We're taking a one week break this week from SVY-based swim workouts (before we return next week with four weekly indoor lap pool swim options). As an alternative, take advantage of some of the many opportunities available to you this week from our club sponsors, French Creek Racing and Mid-Atlantic Multisport! Mid-Atlantic Multisport is offering Wednesday evening OWS sessions, 5pm-7pm through September 23; note that there is no onsite registration... for more details see https://sites.google.com/midatlanticmultisport.com/openwater/home?page=open_water_swim_series French Creek Racing offers a combination of pool and OWS swim workouts every day except Friday with OWS sessions taking place on Tuesdays and Thursdays (5pm-7pm) and Sunday mornings (9am-11am).
