WOWS


Its again time for WOWS (Wednesday Open Water Swim) Last week was the 2nd for the year and there were 51 peolpe who signed in and swam. That's a record up from 37 the Wednesday before last years Tri-Shark. There is an infux of new triathletes getting ready for this years race. For those who didn't know club put together the idea of having a PUPS program which provides the beginner triathlete training,information, and an enterance ticket into the race. For more information on the PUPS program go the club website: www.tri-shark.com

Since we have been having lots of rain and cooler weather the lakes temp is staying cold. Last week the new temperature measuring device said it was cold. 68-70 degrees. Wet suits are recommended but there are those polarbears that like to swim with out a wetsuit. During the first week we also had Chris Sweet speak to the members about the basics of open water swimming.

There are alot of activities that will be happeing at WOWS throughout the year. Stay tuned for more info

Dave,

Sorry to hear about your crash. Just a matter of time before you're back. Good to hear that you haven't given up on the IM. I'm working on my 10th this year and I'm not sure if they're getting easier or if I'm just getting used to the pain.

I like the bike, Specialized makes a good product. Probably knocked off a few minutes from you bike split.

Anyway, if you'd like to get together this summer for a few rides just let me know. I'll try and keep up with ya.

My email is hard26run@yahoo.com

Look forward to hearing from you.
