8 Weeks to Go! Featuring All Summer Long by Kid Rock
Happy Holiday Weekend IMCers!!!
This certainly does not count as “epic” but FWIW I slid today’s training to the holiday tomorrow to participate in a “quadathlon” hosted by a good friend. For us, quadathlon means: run-bike-swim-drink! It’s super low key and the only timing consideration is you need to be back to her dock by 3PM in order to participate in the first toast. Bonus: the sun is actually out today – wahoo!
Testing x 4 for me this week yielded:
1 - Holding steady on the swim
2 - 15 second improvement on the 5k for a small vDot bump
3 + 4 - Indoor and outdoor FTP are EXACTLY the same
I'm feeling good about the run but kinda bummed about the outdoor FTP. It was my first outdoor test and I was hoping it was higher earning me the right to race harder. Oh well, it is what it is, as Rich would say!
Also, two bits of business:
1 - I believe John Stark is still looking for a team captain. Hit him up at ENRaceDirector@Gmail.com if you are interested.
2 - Any song recommendations for next week?
Happy Fourth of July – be safe out there!
This week’s theme song is All Summer Long by Kid Rock. Lots of swimming coming at us this week and it’s time to seize the summer y'all!
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We'd blister in the sun
We couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll
While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
And think man I'd love to see that girl again

Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend folks. Back to work for us tomorrow!

Jenn- you seem to be the obvious choice for team captain!
@ Ann: Cool that we both got three day weekends, regardless of country! Must be good for the exchange rate. Is your “old gang” doing EN style workouts too or are you keeping that secret all to yourself. I vote keep it to yourself!
