High Cloud runs PeasantMan like TriColumbia runs Eagleman or any of their other races, except all the folks that make PeasantMan happen do not make a dime in salary. In the past we've given reciepts to vendors who have given us free stuff, if they requested one. I know, I know ... PeasantMan is like a gift that keeps on giving. Sometimes I think that my greatest flaw is that I'm too generous. The burden of being royalty is great.

Also, would someone be willing to let me test drive a unit for a day? http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=5362764B-CDD7-30A8-D1B34DEFE30A0F61&last=1 Eric Tue, 07 Feb 2012 8:54 AM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=CD1FE264-B4C9-6177-FDACD3D45C73BF2E&last=1 02/07/2012 at 7:59 AM - We have just secured $2,000 worth of Georgetown Cupcakes. Every VOLUNTEER and PARTICIPANT at the PeasantMan Compound will receive delicious GTown Cupcakes for FREE! "Give them cakes!" we say. The cupcakes will come in explosive arrays of flavors and colors to incite your taste buds. Their sight and smell will be intoxicating ... so wear a cup! You can't be too safe these days. Let it be known, the Occupy Lake Anna movement takes care of its warriors. Are you Peasant enough to join the revolution?

And because we've started a trend of Birthday shout outs - Happy Belated to Sarah L. and Kyoko! Let us know if you want your or someone in the program to get a birthday shout out. :) [b]Announcements[/b] 1. Just a reminder, please please please sign in on the attendance sheet when you swimming. If you are in a rush and don't sign in on your way in, just make sure you sign in on your way out. 2. As you may or may not have noticed, we have a new coach that joined us on Mondays and Wednesdays - Anne. Denis will be on deck on Wednesdays, and Tammy will typically be on deck on Fridays. 3. We also have a new co-leader that is joining our program - Amanda Bauer. While she is new to the DC Tri Club, she was a competitive swimmer for 12 years. She also rowed in college while coaching swimming in the summer. Let's make sure that ya'll make her feel at home with our program. 4. Program Goodies - they are coming! And you need to be at a practice to get them. It's a tentative delivery date of Wednesday, but it all depends on when our gear mule (AKA fearless club president Ryan) can get to the storage unit. So more of an incentive for people that haven't come out in a while to come out. :D 5. Just Planning ahead - We are not meeting on Monday, Feb 20. For those that are gung-ho and don't want to miss a training, we will put up another set closer to the 20th. [b]Drill of the Week - Blind Swimming [/b] Try to do this when it's not too crowded in the lanes - but it's really important to be able to swim in the straight line. And the only way to know if you are is to do it with your eyes closed. Swim normal freestyle with your eyes completely closed. On every 5th stroke, raise your head straight forward and "sight" on an object off in the distance (above). Make sure you are maintaining a straight path down the pool. [b]Article of the Week - [/b] [i]Swim Training: Jumping On The Bilateral Breathing Bandwagon[/i] [link]http://triathlon.competitor.com/2010/05/training/triathlon-training-jump-on-the-bilateral-breathing-bandwagon_540[/link] Yes, yet another week of stressing the importance of bilateral breathing. Honestly that's the hardest part of open water swimming, it's being able to control your breathing. And bilateral breathing will also help with breath control.

I had a great time (in spite of a goggle malfunction during my 200). Thanks to all the volunteers, and especially Hugh, for organizing.

Highly recommend it. It's a great race for new to open water swimming: no/low chop, not too strong a current and good support and everyone is so supportive and friendly! It's also a great race for seasoned swimmers: long course, variety of speeds and a great opportunity to draft and/or master drafting off a DCAC swimmer (they are fast!), and everyone is so supprotive and friendly! As Andrea (fava) said the food is fantastic! http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=3A454FAA-9DB3-36A0-614FE155466A66C8&last=1 HillOE Mon, 06 Feb 2012 7:37 AM http://dctriclub.org/forum/messages.cfm?tid=49D51F61-FD79-DC87-3507057C6A2DF2EE&last=1 02/05/2012 at 7:23 PM - A lot of the items don't show up on sale when you try to buy them.

We'll post as soon as we learn more. You should def plan on Club Regionals!
