Last weekend was our annual WWMS tri team training weekend up at Newfound Lake, NH. It was raining and 45 degrees (ok, maybe 50) the entire weekend. Despite the rain it was a blast! There are lots of new members this year and many of them braved the miserable weather to come up, especially brave since our rooms were unheated.
Sunny and Julie did a fabulous job organizing lots of activities including smores night in front of an awesome old stone fireplace at the camp. Many people braved the weather and swam in the heated outdoor pool - there was absolutely no way I was doing this, even though I desperately need to start swimming again since my first race is in July and I haven't swum a lap since December 4th.
The food was actually really good and we all ate a ton. We also got the chance to try out our new team bike kits at dinner - which look really cool thanks to Jamie for his great designs.
Hopefully we can organize another training camp weekend before Timberman and get nice sunny weather, but it seems like me + triathlon = rain - every race I did last year save one was all out rain or light rain turning to mist. Maybe I'll have better luck this year!
Race schedule so far is as follows (theme this year is Massachusetts!):
7/15 Lowell Mill City Olympic
8/5 Greenfield Olympic
8/26 Cranberry Country Olympic
9/9 Hopkinton Olympic (tentative)
Lowell and Greenfield will both be river swims - which will be interesting to say the least. Not sure which is worse - river or ocean swim. But at least there are no sharks in the river - just water snakes. Not sure which is worse, sharks or river snakes.
