Friday Night Group Swim and Saturday Morning Brick Workout Success!

Saturday, July 10th, Lee and Michelle (Team Perserverance!) and I went on a 10 mile loop to the Big Apple and back.  We adjusted our seat heights, practiced shifting gears and talked about strategy for getting over the hills.  Returning to the track, we quickly dismounted and ran the track - preparing our legs for the run portion of the triathlon.  (Everyone must practice the "brick" workout before the tri - even if you run 1/4 mile after dismounting, it will get your mind used to the heavy feeling in your quads.)






Lee, Michelle, Donna, Tracy, Caryn and Lisa

Sooooooo much better practicing starts and eixts with 6 swimmers!  We practiced buoy turns, exiting the water using 2 different strategies, entering using 2 different strategies, sighting, swimming among the fish/weeds, etc.  A fun time on a muggy Friday night!
