Hola all!

Who's in for a shwim then ride this Thursday?  The weather looks to be mahhhhhvelous.  The deets....


Meet at Kent Lake lot and walk to Trout Lake at 5:30, swim across and back
Hop on bikes around 6:15 to 6:30 and head to Kensington for some hill training.  Optional:  loop ILRA for a total of 20ish miles.

Carl's is next weekend so it's a good time to get in some hill time.  Myslef and likely three other RACING GREYHOUNDS will be there.  Anyone else in?

If you don't mind a very slow swimmer, I may actually be able to join the group for a swim today (Jamie has to work, so she won't be able to join).  We were out at Trout Lake yesterday, and did an out and back in about 31 minutes.  I know... very slow, but it was a nice swim.  I still need to work on my sighting.  I keep getting way off course.  Any tips??

I've heard that practicing bi-lateral breathing helps keep you "mostly-straight" while swimming.  I tend to over-spot, though, so I can't say if it helps or not.

Sorry I didn't get to swim with everyone.  I got there a little early, so I decided to just go ahead and walk out to the lake and get my swim on.  I was able to swim a little straighter today.  It's just going to take practice.  I'll try to be a little more social next time

Jason!  It was good to at least see you!  Did you leave after the swim?  We rode around looking for you to bike, but nada....no where to be found.

I'm glad you swam a bit straighter!

I just did the swim.  Since I came right from work, I didn't have my bike with me.  Jamie and I are planning on being out there for a Swim/Bike/Run on Saturday.
