I registered! And a quick question...

[mrs.jacinthe]

I finally got up the guts to register for my A race(s) this year.  It's in 3 months, despite not having been in the pool since February - I'm SO excited about it.  I'm doing the Cascade Lakes Open Water Swim Series.  Essentially, over 3 days, I'll be swimming 3000m, 500m, 1500m, 5000m, and 1000m.  The 5k is the USMS National Championship, too.  SQUEE!

And the question: would anyone be interested in a swim "workout of the week"-type post?  I coach masters and I'll be writing 5-10 workouts a week.  If y'all would like, I'd be happy to post a beginner-intermediate-advanced workout series every week?

Good luck with your race!

I would be interested in a workout series each week. When I swim, I just get in the pool and swim. I could probably use more structure.

Wow, congrats! I bet it feels great to take the plunge (hardy har) and register.

I WISH THAT WAS NEAR ME.  I love the 5k distance.  For an east coaster that is a long trip though.

The 10k USMS championship is near me.  There's a non-championship (obvs) 5k the same day, which I do every year.  I'm debating doing the 10k since it's the national championship this year (for the first time) instead.  Only hangup:  it's 6 days after IM Timberman 70.3.  That's awfully close, and a lot of long racing in a short time span.
