Super Stylist Tip:
There is a trick to safeguarding your hair before a swim....spray your dry hair to fill the hair follicles so chlorine cannot be absorbed. I like to use Paul Mitchell's Awapuhi Moisture Mist Hydrating Spray. A bottle is always in my swim bag and on my bathroom counter. Before swimming and after showering it is the first product I put on my hair. It deeply hydrates thirsty hair as well as revives dry, tired skin! Hawaiian awapuhi and lactic acid provide deep moisture and enhanced shine. Spirulina and plankton extracts rich in amino acids and vitamins make hair soft, hydrated and silky smooth. I also use it on my dry hair to reactive styling products in my hair, making it perfect for a quick blow dry touch-up.
Team Malone members receive 20% Off All Retail Products at Supercuts as well as $3 Off Adult Haircuts and $2 Off Kids Cuts. To find a salon near you go to

Are you Ready?
As I write this many of you are worried about your big race this weekend. You are concerned about the details and all the "what ifs" that are out there that could sabotage your race. I am here to tell you that there is nothing that can work for or against you more than your own mind. There is not one athlete that I am coaching that can't do this race. Everyone has had plenty of preparation. Even if the preparation wasn't perfect it will still get you to the finish line. Training rarely is perfect, my personal training is definitely not perfect and even most pro's don't have what they would ever consider "perfect".
Over the next few days people are going to constantly ask you if you are "ready". Let me help you with the answer to this question; YES, YOU ARE READY! Say this simply and with confidence because you ARE! Even if you don't feel like you are, say it anyway. Fake it, till you make it. Say it so many times that even YOU believe it by the time you get to the start line.
The next question you will get is how do you feel? Your answer: EXCITED. I know you might think you are nervous but that is just a word I am not willing to allow anyone to use because it is negative. Of course I will be asking you these questions too, so don't get tricked and give me the wrong answer!
I plan to be at the expo most of Friday and Saturday. We will have a booth set-up so come and see me for last minute tips or if you need help with anything.
Sunday will be GO TIME! Support, Cheer, Encourage and SMILE while you are out there. The fact that you are out swimming, biking and running is something we are all blessed to have the ability to do. Personally, I am grateful to work with such an amazing group of athletes. Life is what you make of it and mine happens to be swimming, biking and running! I might not be as fast as I used to be, but my passion for the sport and my love of racing are still front and center.

CONGRATS Karen & Phil!
Congrats to team members Karen Bailey and Phil North on their engagement! Instead of a diamond ring Phil knew the way to Karen's heart...a shiny new bike! While Karen is a life long athlete this year she has completed her first triathlons and been on the podium at both even qualifying for Nationals! I am very excited for these two. Now we just have to get Phil qualified for Nationals so they can race together!

Juice Plus+ helps you get the nutrients you need...
As most of you know I have been really making an effort to plan meals and eat better, but one thing I have not shared is the fact that I started taking Juice Plus vitamins too. I just realized I was not able to physically eat all the fruits and veggies recommend per day. Normally, I hate taking vitamins because I don't swallow horse sized pills well, but these come in a gummy version that tastes great, so now for 4 months I have been regular about taking them. I have been sic
k a lot less, even with a toddler in the house and in general I feel better than I have in a long time. The older we get the more important it is to take a multivitamin. Since this is a product I believe in and I feel has a lot to offer I am going to start selling them. Here is the website if you want to look into the clinical research (it is all there). Here is my website.

Fabulous 4th Bike Tour
Make room on your calendar for a great local bike tour held in the morning of the 4th of July (This year on a Monday). That way you can get a good ride in on Saturday AND on Monday! This ride is always well supported and they feed you a great lunch. Do you see a trend with events held in Tryon? There is always good food involved. Rides like this allow riders to get in a long workout without the worry of being out on the road alone. All the funds raised go to a good cause as well - so you get your workout in AND you help those less fortunate at the same time. It doesn't get much better than that!

All in your head...
Because I am fascinated by all the things that our minds can do I think it is important to constantly work on this aspect of training. What I have found is that over the years while my body might not be as willing my mind is stronger than ever. I course I account this to my "study" of all things in my head, but in all seriousness this is not an area to overlook.

Open water swims will start 6:30 PM sharp...in the water! That means you need to arrive a little earlier to allow time to squeeze into your wetsuits.
As always we will have kayak support.
(If you know someone who would like to be kayak support please let me know - as we get larger groups in the warmer months I need help)
*If you wish to bring friends who are not MC athletes they must be USAT members. Please check with me first. Due to changes in coverage we are now considered a "club" and must change procedures in order to maintain current insurance.
ALL SWIMMERS MUST SIGN A LIABILITY WAIVER
If there is interest we will grab dinner at El Sureno afterwards.
*Cell phones generally do not work at the lake so if you get lost please text since that usually will still go through.
***********************************************
All open water swims start promptly at 6:30 PM and are held on Monday nights because that is when there is the least boat traffic on the lake. The open water swims are workouts, not just swimming and they are fun - so don't miss out! These give us 6 MONTHS of quality time in open water!
