Thursday 5/3: Tentatively planning a mini brick with an outdoor open water wetsuit swim....TENTATIVELY. If the weather holds out we'll meet at Millhurst Fen Nature Preserve off of Whitfield and Rogers outside of Millbrook. BRING YOUR WETSUIT YOU'LL NEED IT and a neoprene cap if you have it. We are pirate swimming the Fox River. We've done it before no worries! If the weather is bad we'll have to plan on a pool swim and see if we can bike outdoors? Stay flexible on this day!
Friday 5/4: Rest Day
Saturday 5/5: @ 8:00 for a swim and track sprints to follow....bad weather we'll be upstairs, good weather we'll head out to PHS around 10:30 ish.
Sunday 5/6: If you're down, Al and I and a few other Misfits, are heading to Matthiessen for the Matthiessen Mountain Madness bike race. It's $35 dollars and theirs a race for all skill levels....even mine, SUCKY! Race time is noon! We'll probably leave here no later than 10 a.m.
