MOO Updates!

Team,

As we get into November and December, things are going to get busy for everyone. And, the first thing that may suffer is your training. I want to encourage each of you to continue training hard every chance you get during this holiday season. After all, we’ve got our MOO meet in mid-January!
So, to help you out, I’m going to outline two events that will help you maintain your motivation.


First we have the 15-Minute Postal swim presented by Arizona Masters. It’s simple. During the course of practice we’ll do a set that consists of continuous swimming. At the end of 15 minutes, we’ll total up your individual yardage and submit it against those that are participating all over the country. It’s cheap to enter; only $8. So, for more information, please check out this web site:
www.15minutepostal.com
If you choose to participate, please let me know. You must be a current USMS member. Contact me if you have any questions. I’m looking to do this the week of December 14th.
Secondly, there is the 2009 Brute Squad Postal. This one is not for the faint of heart. The event must be swim within a 24-hour day, but we’ll get it done quicker, and with ample rest! You will be required to swim a 1650 Freestyle, a 400 IM and a 200 Fly. The cost is $25 (includes a long sleeve t-shirt, or $35 if you want a hoodie sweatshirt). This postal swim is not only for individuals, but for team points as well. If you are interested in doing this, please let me know by Thanksgiving. I want to be able to schedule this for a time when everyone who wants to swim it is available. Check out all the details at: http://www.BruteSquadSwim.com
As with the other postal swim, you must be a registered Masters swimmer to participate. Again, if you have any questions, please contact me.

See you at the pool!

If everything works out, we'll be at Cady Way only Thursday and Monday. Please watch your emails for any last-minute changes. If you have any questions, please don't call the Y, but call or email me.

See you at practice!
