Great job to so many of you for keeping up with your training and staying positive during this crazy and ever changing time. We are resilient and we will bounce back stronger than ever! With the lack of racing this summer, we will have some new and fun team challenges to test your fitness & endurance. One of our challenges that will start next month is our Marathon Swim Challenge (26.2 miles) and Ultra Marathon Swim Challenge (50K/31.25 miles) to be completed throughout the month of July. Look for more details and other events in the coming months.

The Ironman VR Championship Series starts this month (four races – one every weekend) and gives athletes an opportunity to test themselves amongst fellow age-group competitors to earn series points.  Check out VR Championship Series for more information.

Summer Open Water Swim Schedule: In June we will start our summer open water swims in Lake Washington on Wednesday’s and Friday’s from 6-7am. To keep things simple this year all team swims will be at Madison Park. Our first swim will be on Wednesday, June 17th. These open water swims will be long endurance swims and/or include a variety of steady, tempo and fast interval sets. Things may look a little different this year, but I know we can do a good job of social distancing at these swims. Many teammates have already started lake swimming, please check team Facebook if you are interested in joining.

The Team Workouts for June:

• Wednesday, June 17th & 24th at 6:00AM: Team Open Water Swim at Madison Beach
• Friday, June 19th & 26th at 6:00AM: Team Open Water Swim at Madison Beach
