The week of 3/21-3/28 in Team Z

All winter A races are finished.   Next week and the following are still pseudo recovery weeks which allow us all (staff and members) to mental break and get focused for the new season. We will be introducing new group workout locations for this summer, I’m pretty excited about it.    Here is the high level overview for next week ”“ details and Monday email coming out a day early (imagine that!).

To echo the note which I sent out with our weekend email (last week) to provide a look ahead for the M-F activities this week”¦.

Yes, things are still quiet in terms of team runs and rides ”“ M to F each week.   But the swims stay active and should be a focus along with the weekend workouts which are super important for all, and CRITICAL for our Ironman USA and MTM people.

Now ”“ there has been one change to the below schedule from what we announced last week.   We now have a recovery run for Wed (more of a social run) before our ONE TEAM happy hour.   A little tougher for some to make, but the happy hour is easily had if you can’t make the run.   This is a new location.
