Geez - I really need to practice this but I hate swimmiing by myself. Does any one know of any group open water swim practices? I heard there was one on Saturday mornings at 7:30 at Caesar’s Creek but I thought that was just for Team-In-Training folks. Thanks.
no, go. alot of people show for it and they are the nicest bunch…generally alot of bricks are done there on Saturdays by alot of people. don’t not go because you think it’s a “team thing”.
That’s good to know (didn’t want to crash the TNT workout). Thanks.
Also check out www.cincyexpress.org for group workouts. This is a new team that has formed and all levels are welcome. Friendly fun people, check it out and join us sometime.
hey, don’t think i told you, but i joined last week!! yay! more for training companions, etc.
very cool!! I have not gotten very involved so far for obvious reasons, but as I am getting back into things I plan to. Everyone is nice so far and they offer support. Do you want to go to Louisville on Saturday for the sprint with us?
should be fun girl time! then I am working on greydog for the columbus half IM next week… They have an Aquabike.

yes, yes, the half Im next week…I have already called the ambulance to have it ready for me…
you crack me up chica:-) you’ll be just fine… i was almost trying to convince your other friend to do it too…
that’s a no go…I tried having that same discussion with her this morning…
sorry Buckeye…we were supposed to be talking about open water swimming…
Join our team! Plenty of people swim together, some even out at eastfork Lake. However if you go out there I recommend some preemptive antibiotics!
hey sweets–if my husband wasn’t having a big engine start up this weekend I’d be there. he’s worked on this car for so long (4 years or so) and has been talking about starting the engine this upcoming weekend for over 2 months. It’s too important to him, I can’t miss it. A fire extinguisher has been assigned to me and his brother in case a wire catches fire or someting. Lots of people are coming over to toast if all goes well. Heck, it’s actually pretty darn exciting!!
I’ll catch you Saturday though (well, not literally…you know what I mean…lol)

oh man, I understand… that’s what relationships are all about, supporting each others. I need to ride 2 hours EASY after the race sunday if you are interested… Like a noodle ride where we go get coffee and/or ice cream:-) but before that, we’ll see each other sat at the breakfast ride!
dang, I’d be up for that but I’ll no doubt be cooking some good eats for the celebration. next time though I’d love to warm down and get ice cream…that’s just my thing!
BTW, the Cherries On Top on Miami avenue (basically a few doors down from the Starbucks) has killer killer ice cream. Man!! I haven’t had it in like 2 weeks…tomorrow though, I’ll be getting some. The moose tracks with cookie dough on top. WOW!
yeah… sorry buckeye, we stole your thread… i guess the cincy chicas can’t get enough of each others, we invade all the cincy threads! But to answer your thread, ceasar’s on sat morning, IS the place to be for open water swims.
yes it’s likely that some fellow ST’ers will be there. it’s a good gang!!
Hey - Thanks for the info, ya’ll - I really appreciate it. I’m going to try to make it to Caesar’s Creek next week. I signed up to do the Pineman Half - kind of worried about the swim part (in my case I’m thinking I need to have the Coast Guard on standby as well as the ambulance…).
I know these cinci girls… they cannot be trusted… 
Marisol are you still doing the hp to breakfast ride… I may be in for a bit of suffering (while you happily spin with ease)
wow, lookie who stopped lurking and decided to post!
Welcome chica…
Is there really breakfast involved in that ride…I’d join for that part
what… you have no idea who I am…
Sadly, I think we are skipping the breakfast this time. Although I do partake in the winter… just enough time to get feeling back in your extremities and eat pancakes… yummy
