Biking and Running: AKA Brick Workouts!

Brick Workout, Saturday, June 12, 2010
Lynn, Lesa, Laura and Michelle

Lesa, Laura, Michelle and Gary

This 10-mile ride included an on-the-spot tube changing lesson!  Lynn got a flat tire, and fortunately was prepared with an extra tube and some tire-changing "know-how".  Although Lynn claims Gary was uber helpful - Gary says he just watched!  The lesson here is to be prepared on race day with an extra tire (under $7 at your bike store) and there will be mechanics on the course to help out should you need it.

Steve Sherlock was available to take Laura and Lynn on the brick run - talking a mile-a-minute for a quick "out and back".  Steve is a Passionate Runner http://passionaterunner.blogspot.com/ and will be meeting us for the run portion of our Saturday morning workouts (between 8:15 and 8:30 a.m.)

Time to mark your calendars! 

Wednesday night swims at the Franklin YMCA at 8:15 p.m. will continue June 16, 23, 30, July 7, 14 & 21
Saturday morning Brick workouts will continue at the Horace Mann Middle School Saturday mornings at 7 a.m. June 19, 26, July 10 and 17

I'm challenging each of you to get in an Open Water Swim the weekend of Friday, June 25th  Some options are:

Friday, June 25th at 6:30 p.m. - tentative date for Donna to lead an OWS at Lake Winthrop
Sunday, June 27th at 8 a.m. - tentative date for Donna to lead an OWS at Lake Winthrop
Monday, June 28th - ongoing OWS at Walden Pond - see calendar of events to get on Kristen's email sign-up

I'm also shooting to be at Walden Pond on Monday, July 12th

That just leaves a date for us to head out to Webster and ride the course:  pencil in Sunday, July 11th at 9 a.m. to do this.

I will try to be one step ahead of these dates and give you links, etc. to the meeting spot.  Please remember that racers will need to pick up your packets at the Webster, MA HS this year on Saturday before the race, so it's best to clear your whole weekend for the triathlon.  (That way we can enjoy a leisurely burger on the deck of Waterfront Mary's or something...)
