Hi Everyone
Firstly good luck to all our superstar racers this weekend, Dan and Rebecca in the Ironman world champs in Utah and committee member Grace in Majorca (plus any others I don’t know about). On behalf of all of us good luck and come home safely … Club member race reports are my favourite reading, hint hint!
For everyone else, train hard and with the Giro starting today there’s now plenty of armchair entertainment to enjoy with your carbohydration drink of choice (ie Peroni / Kona Big Wave Golden Ale).
Tomorrow sees our first open water swim of the year, starting our sessions at Queenford lake. The water is now approaching the point where even I would swim, and it’s good to see a healthy number of sign ups. Please arrive promptly at 7:45 for instructions and compulsory safety briefing and bring your membership card with emergency contacts if you have one (if not I’ll be on hand to take them down separately). Don’t forget your tow float and brightly coloured hat. You’ll probably want your wetsuit but that’s not compulsory. There’s no need to Nowca bands, this is included as part of your membership fee; as you can see the committee is investing our covid surplus in benefits and extra sessions for you all. Going forwards we will need more volunteers to share the safety duties, you have been warned!
Finally, welcome to our new members this week. As usual please don’t hesitate to contact me or any other committee member if you have any questions.
Have a great week!
