I had previously posted that we would do a group workout of the Bike Course in Webster, but Michelle G was the only interested person (and she still plans to ride with friends this morning in Webster, MA)
Given the great workouts on Friday night and Saturday morning, I am resting today, Sunday, July 11th.

TONIGHT, July 7th OWS @ 7 p.m. - Lake Winthrop!
Hope to see you there for some:
Here's my "kick in the butt" comment: Even my husband gets concerned with my swimming in a lake, but I just tell him "It would be dangerous if I DIDN'T practice for the race!!!!"
(So far, we are two-for-two with success in parking and not having to pay the daily fee of $20. However, I can't be responsible for any problems with parking, so carpool if you can.)
Same plan for Friday, July 9th at 7 p.m.
- Sighting practice
- Group swimming
- Swimming beyond the "ropes"
- Starts and exiting the water
- Discussion on "panic stroke"
- Practice swimming with the fish

3rd Day in a Row for Group Workouts!
Imagine our surprise as we showed up for the 8 a.m. group swim only to find the Holliston (Lions Club?) Triathlon taking place!Cathy, Donna, Lynn and Maya jumped in the water as soon as the swimmers were done. We had the lakefront to ourselves as the triathletes had moved onto the bike and run portion of the race. We practiced sighting (swimming in a straight line while looking at a focal point), starting from the shore and exiting the water (Lynn suggested scraping the bottom with your hand and then taking 3 more strokes).
Walden Pond Open Water Swim is on for Monday nights (click on calendar of events for details) then July 4th weekend is off for group events (although it may not be too late to join us at the Patriot Place 10K! - also a link on this blog) and then watch for more group events after July 5th!
Happy Training,
Donna
