actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world

Perfect your stroke at the
YTri Wednesday Swim
The YTri Wednesday morning swim has become part of the
weekly routine at the Y and is gaining participants each
week. Why not add this workout to your weekly routine?
Coach Mike (me) is on deck from 6:00-7:30am at the Y Pool
each Wednesday where there are beginner and intermediate
workouts going simultaneously. Workouts consist of stroke
development, drills, some strength/speed, and lots of
fun! I also leave the workouts on the board for the week
for those who can't make Wednesday mornings.
See you at the pool!

Run leaders wanted for Friday
night workouts
Friday night YTri workouts are a smashing success - we
have enough people each week to double up the class!
As a result of our success, we are in need of more run
leaders. Unfortunately, Fridays are becoming bad for me
and I won't be able to make too many classes. All that
is required to lead the run is a great attitude and a
willingness to be a cheerleader for the group. There is
no formal structure to the run, but everybody really likes
it if they find themselves doing some agility drills,
speed, and even sometimes the dreaded stairs!! Your creativity
and energy is really the limit here.
If you are willing to take the lead, let one of us know
at the next Friday class.

Indoor Triathlon Anyone?
Last year we had a fantastic indoor triathlon at the Y
in February as a way of beating the winter blues. The
first YTri indoor triathlon consisted of a 15 minute swim,
a 30 minute bike and a 20 minute run. Medals were given
to all participants and everyone had a great time.
I have been getting enquiries about the possibility of
a second annual event this year. While I am maxed out
on commitments this year, it occured to me that some of
you
might be willing to organize a fun indoor triathlon to
keep everyone motivated, and I can certainly point you
in the right direction to getting pool, bike, and treadmill
time at the Y. There is even a YTri bank account that
can be used to buy finishers medals like we had last year!
If anyone is interested in taking the lead on an event
like this, let me know and I'll get you started and promote
it in the newsletter.
