Triple Challenge

9/30/2013

 
With October upon us, it is time to start picking dates for the first stage of the Triple Challenge.  For the uninitiated, we hold a series of practices leading up to the USMS 1 Hour Postal Swim in January. In October we hold a workout which consists of 50 repeats on intervals decided by the coach. Swimmers get to chose their distance and stroke.  (So it could be 2 rounds of 5 on 1:40, 5 on 1:30, 5 on 1:20, 5 on 1:10, 5 on 1:00 and some may start with 125s on the first grouping and end up doing 75s on the 5th grouping while others may start with 100s and go down to 50s...it is the swimmer's choice.)  Then in November we will do 75 reps and in December we will have 100 reps. Anyone who completes EVERY rep of all 3 sessions receives 3 free swim tickets and a prize.  

Each month will also have a timed swim at goal 1 hour pace - 15 mins in Oct, 30 mins in Nov and 45 mins in Dec. The person whose average time on these swims is closest to the hour swim time will win the Ms or Mr Consistency prize.  

Potential dates for the 50 reps in October are Fri 10/18 and Fri 10/25. We will probably hold the 15 min swim whichever week we do not hold the Triple Challenge workout.  For those who wish to participate in the Triple Challenge, please indicate your preference of date by emailing gaac_masters@yahoo.com and also note if you know you cannot make one of the dates.  Thanks!
