CENTENNIAL BEACH CLOSED :(


Hey Fits!

Update, update! Found out Centennial Beach is only open on the weekends until Labor day soooo.......that means the Wednesday evening and Thursday morning swimworkouts this week will be cancelled.  Does anyone have any ideas as to where to swim? The Plano Y has drained their pool for maintenance. We could always swim the Fox again? Or the Vaughan center is an option. Let me know if their is an interest. 

Kevin, is there an option to swim at IMSA? 

FYI, if interested in the Misfit field trip this weekend to the Chicago Triathlon Expo on Saturday let me know. I'm thinking of doing a little swimming at the beach to warm up for the race Saturday after the expo and get a feel for the water. So bring something to swim in!

Hi Fits!

Please read the email from Paul Bishop below. I've attached images of the wheelsets via the web for you to view if interested. This is a pretty great steal! 

Kristen,
Thank you so much for the info.  I have 2 wheel sets Im trying to sell and thought Id offer them to the club before I put them on eBay.
1. Zipp 404 CLINCHER Clydsdale wheels. Shimano Rear wheel has about 200 miles on it total. Front is a NEW warranty replacement wheel I received about 3 weeks ago from Zipp. It is brand new. A tire has never even been mounted on the front wheel.  Asking $1400.00 for the Set.  I priced these today at trisports.com and the set is $2,300.00.

2. Easton Aero EC 90 Tubulars.  Come with a Shimano 12-25 Cog.  These have 2 races on them and about 300 training miles.  A very lightweight set of wheels for racing and time trials.  The front tubular will be a new tire.  The rear Vittoria tubular  is one year on the wheel. Asking $975.00 for the set.
