Swimming in the quarry, Sun, 6/3, 10am

We are all set for an open water swim Sunday at the quarry. Meet in the parking lot at 10am. Though hopefully it doesn't rain!

There may also be a swimming lesson that night with Andy (5pm, Wilson Gym), but I haven't gotten a confirmation yet.

Things to look forward to

June 9: Race for the Cure, 5K; sign up already!

June 23 or 24: Our own practice triathlon. Through Arielle's friend, we have access to a lake in Pittsboro. Yay! We're planning on a leisurely, get-our-confidence-up, triathlon experience that's two weeks prior to the Triangle Triathlon. Suggestions on how this will work are welcome.

Sun bike, 10am, Lake Crabtree Park

Sorry the swim clinic with Andy fell through for this weekend. I'll try to schedule one for next weekend. In its place, let's do the bike course of the Triangle Triathlon (15mi). I'm up for jogging part of the run course afterwards too. This is a *great* opportunity to familiarize yourself with the bike route. Let's try to beat the heat, and meet at the parking lot near the Old Beech Nature Trailhead in Lake Crabtree County Park (see the map on pg. 4).

Here's the bike route in gmaps pedometer. Big hills!

Fun run times posted -- Great Job!

Great job everyone. They posted our results online.

Don't forget: Duke Family Fun Run TOMORROW, 8:20am

Let's meet at the check in area around 8:20am tomorrow morning. It looks like they have parking set up on the West side of Science Drive. Park there (be sure to follow signs for the Duke Children's Classic, I think there may be some other event happening near Wallace Wade tomorrow too, so don't get confused). Cost is $2. You can sign up race day as well.

Race for the Cure -- open run

So I've heard back from a few folks, and it sounds like we mostly want to do the co-ed open recreational run that starts at 9:15. So that's the plan! Go ahead and sign up already!

Race for the Cure

So it didn't sound like there were enough of us to form a team for Race for the Cure, so I thought we'd just go ahead and sign up as individuals. Now the question is what category do people want to participate in. We could do "competitive" or "open recreational". The difference is that in the competitive section you get a timing chip, pay an extra $5, and the race starts earlier (7:15am vs 9:15am). So it all depends on if you want to be timed or not. Let me know your vote (but of course we can all run separately too).
