I need someone

Nat:

You're in luck - there's a swim at Red Top Mtn this weekend.

Check out this thread for details:

Oh, I thought this was going to be a thread for singles.  Nevermind. 

Now that I think it about Mondays would be good for me. I swim on Monday anyway and also do a short 5-6 mile run. So if anyone would be up for running after (or cycling, I'm flexible) I could be easily persuaded. Assuming there is a good area to run in.

Who can do Monday the 25th at 8:15 am at Dallas Landing (I still need to know where this is)?

Wait. Is Dallas Landing where the Acworth women's tri is held?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Yes Dallas Landing is where the Acworth women's tri is held, I can be there probably around 9ish for a swim, and if you are up for it we can go over to the SCT in Hiram for a ride. What time do you need to be home? 

I can do either Monday or Friday or both. I need to be at home around 1ish at the latest either day.  I am flexible on run or bike after. I always need more help on the bike. How far is Hiram. And I am slow like a Glacier on the bike btw.

Steph, Brett what say you? Neal? Doug? Anyone? Anyone?

It seems like a lot of the people responding to this post are the same that responded to the idea of an early September long training day that included a swim, bike, and run in preparation for upcoming HIMs and IMs.

If that long day is still in the works I'd be up for getting the day started with an OWS rather than a pool swim.

Just a thought.

I could probably work that in.  Just give me a couple of days notice... or not.  Hiram is about 50 miles from our houses.  Dallas Landing is not really near Town Lake.   It is fairly close to downtown Acworth.

I agree about an OWS for a big training day but I will have to better coordinate that so that the kids are picked up from school that day. So I can't do that this week.

Let's think about big training day on Friday Sept 5th. If the weather doesn't look good we can switch it to the next week or maybe one day earlier in the week. But put the 5th tenatively on your calendars for a OWS/Bike/Run

So is Friday a good day for OWS for everyone? Or does Monday work better for some? 9 am is a good time. IDK if I can swing a ride to Hiram and get back in time, but maybe. I absolutely hate to be rushed/worried about picking up my kids in time from school.

Like I said. I am pretty flexible this week since I got in my long run. I just need to do a longish bike and couple of bike/run bricks and swim.

Which day works--or does both? And how far is it exactly--time wise? I've been to the park for the Acworth Tri but I got a bit lost and I don't remember. LOL.

Are you saying we should start earlier or I need to make after school childcare arrangements for my kids.?

this thread title made me laugh...

sounds like you're looking for a triathlete soul-mate or something!

Same here...probably would be pushing it for Nat to get back if we ride after though. I am up for it if anyone else is (cough....Meredith...cough).

Okay so .. . .

What: OWS

When: Monday 8/25  9 am

Where: Dallas Landing

Who:

Nat

Brett

Meredith

Neal (maybe)

Doug ( because he needs to)

 I can't hang for the bike but I will do a run after either there or when I get home. Monday is my easy day.

I would but Monday is supposed to be my rest day, so I think I'll be good with just the swim.  Besides, any longer than that and you're cutting into my Blue Moon & pool time.  A girl has to have priorities!   

Brett, Meredith, Neal(?) and anyone else.

I plan on being at the park to swim tomorrow morning unless it is raining hard. Light drizzle I will probably go unless there is thunder and lightening.

Can everyone who is planning on going confirm and where we should meet specifically.

Thanks!

PS. Is there some where to run in the park? Is it safe? I usually run 4-6 miles on Mondays.

We usually meet in the parking lot in front of the beach at Dallas Landing.  I suppose you could go run out in the neighborhood area outside of the park afterwards.  That's where they had the run for the Acworth sprint tri.

I have to take my husband to the airport in the morning and I plan to get there as close to 9am as I can.  But if y'all want to go ahead and start swimming, I'll just join you when I get there if I'm running late. 

I am still in as of now, lightning and thunder will be a no go for me also. I am planning to be there as close to 9am as I can, I have to take the little guy to daycare so I may be a minute or two late.

Nat, the area around there is pretty safe, I am not planning to run as of now but I will throw my shoes in the car just in case.

Meredith and Brett I am out. Just looks like too yucky of a day --raining here now--and I don't want to waste the time/gas to drive and then not be able to swim. I only have short windows to get my workouts in so I'd hate to waste my window. So I'll just play it safe and suck it up as a pool day today. Sorry another time hopefully.
