Open Water Swim

We had a fun swim. The water wasn't all that cold and the weather was great. Four of us swam and overcame our initial fear of the open water. We had a wave runner protecting us as we swam, thanks Patti.

We will have more open water swims in the future so join us next time.

I am setting up the open water swim for Saturday at 2:30 pm. I think we should meet at 2:15 at Classic Sports to carpool over to Sand Hollow.

The water is cold, so wet suits are a must. As of April 4 the water temp was 52 degrees. Bring a bright swimming cap to wear so you are highly visible.

We are also looking for a canoe to help keep track of swimmers. Does anyone have one that they would be willing to share? Let me know if you do 635-4486 or edansie@gmail.com. And thanks to Patti, we have a canoe. thanks.

Saturday Run

We will meet at 8 am at Classic Sports on April 12 for this week's run. I know many of you will be participating in the Run 4 Kids at Coral Canyon, but if you aren't then, come join us.

We will have water and Gatorade.

Bring a friend. If you are new, come and see what we are all about.

Beat the Banker 4.01K

Congratulations to all who participated in the Beat the Banker 4.01 K on Saturday. It was a blast. There was a great turnout of 88 runners plus 25 bankers, I think. It was great to see so many club members there.

I had a great time. I beat all but four bankers, but was soundly beat by club member, Jazmine S. Way to go girl! I enjoyed the short, fast course and the 4 delicious brownies at the end. Earning 5 bucks back was also a great bonus.

Thanks to Terry Tucker for a great race!

Open Water Swim

For those who are in training for a triathlon or who just want some open water swim practice, we are trying to set up an open water swim workout. We will swim at Sand Hollow Reservoir and will most likely have a canoe out with the swimmers.

Who is interested and when are you interested in doing it? I was thinking on Friday late afternoon or Saturday anytime after noon.

Let me know what interest there is and when will work for you and we will get that set up.

Weekday Runs

There has been some expressed interest in getting the weekday runs started up again. Email me (edansie@gmail.com) or comment on this post with the time and day you may want to run on weekdays.

Some have expressed interest in a 5 or 5:30 morning run. Any more takers there?

I would be interested in a evening track workout one day of the week, maybe 6 or 6:30. Any takers there?

Let us know what your interest is and we can get those started up again. Remember this club is for everyone, no matter what your running ability. We want to get lots of us out there running.

Ride on Saturday?

Is anyone interested in doing a bike ride sometime after the Beat the Banker? I am. So, if there are others, we can do a group ride in the afternoon. Let me know and I will set it up.

Race instead of Run

This Saturday, April5, we will not have an organized run because hopefully, most of you will be participating in the Beat the Banker 4.01 K. The race starts at 9 am and there is still time to register. I think if you register today it is only $10. After April 1 it is $20. So come join us at the race and see how many bankers you can beat.
