NOTE FROM THE COACH
Our "team"
We are all engaged in what is largely an individual sport yet we are indeed part of something bigger. We are a part of a "team". While many of you train alone when you go to a race and wear your Malone Coaching uniform you are automatically part of our group. You might run into team-mates on the course and encourage them, you might run together and work to help each other achieve a better result than you would have on your own like Will and Brad in Chattanooga 70.3. Sometimes training with team members can also boost moral. This Monday at the open water swim I witnessed Manny become the leader and the teacher. He was forced to stop worrying about himself in the water and help Wanda keep calm and learn to relax in open water. What happened here was a beautiful thing because Manny swam better than ever and Wanda gained confidence. The swim session ended with them both smiling. John & Jenny Davidson often took Kim Parenti with them on their training rides for Chattanooga so she could learn the roads, feel safe and still get in a good workout. While that took a little compromise on speed during the warm-up (which doesn't matter anyway) everyone made it work. While I encourage all of you to FOCUS sometimes working with other athletes, even those who are faster or slower, can be beneficial to both of you and leave you with a feeling of well-being. What could be more satisfying than having a great workout but also encouraging a fellow athlete?

OPEN WATER SWIM SCHEDULE:
June 15 June 29 July 13 July 20 SWIM TIME is 6:30 SHARP!
*Keep in mind these are not just "swims" these are group open water workouts to get you race ready. We have different groups based on ability, we have an open water swim specific workout and we have kayaks and paddlers to help keep it safe. (I need some volunteers for this again this year - I always like to have at least 3 boats out there).
We work hard during the workout and hit the Mexican restaurant El Sureno at 8:00 PM.
We will be doing open water swims this year
on Monday's evenings at
6:30 PM at Lake Lanier in Tryon, NC. SWIMS START at
6:30 SHARP
If you are late you can catch the group on the way back from the Warm-up. Please plan accordingly to
be IN the water at 6:30!
Lake Lanier Boathouse
2004 West Lakeshore Drive
Landrum, SC 29356
No matter which way your GPS in your car wants to take you I promise you after work you DO NOT want to take HWY 14, unless you are very close to the Hwy 29/Hwy 14 intersection.
Take I-85 towards Charlotte all the way to I-26 towards Asheville.
From Greenville:
Take I-85 towards Charlotte
Take I-26 towards Asheville
Take Exit #1 - go LEFT off ramp
Go through Landrum - cross railroad tracks
IMMEDIATE RIGHT on Hwy 176 for about 2-3 miles
HOT SPOT - LAST STOP FOR BATHROOM! NO FACILITIES AT THE LAKE!
You will enter NC and pass El Sureno Mexican Restaurant on your LEFT (Also our dinner location)
Turn LEFT into lake entrance shortly (200m) afterwards - Across the street from an old strip mall
---
Road veers to the right
Once you see the lake go RIGHT over dam/bridge
My boathouse is on the LEFT about .75 from the dam/bridge (it
is at the end of the only straight away you will be on).
There is a black metal gate with a metal cut out of a dog & the house number 2004 on the fence post
The boathouse is blue with black shutters.
PARKING: Please park across the street -
PARK OFF THE ROAD
. If there is no parking there go past the boathouse
and turn around and park on the grassy area on the lake side of the road or in the large parking lot to your LEFT (NOT PAVED) which we are allowed to use.
DO NOT park under the covered parking since people who rent the house there normally park there. Please do NOT block them in.
Parking is really not that difficult you just might have to walk for 200m which you all should be able to handle.
If we do not park off the road the police will arrive so PLEASE PARK OFF THE ROAD!
NO FACILITIES AT THE LAKE!
But we do have a place where you can get changed.
These swims are open to Malone Coaching athletes and GCM Team members. Due to the size of the group I am going to ask this year that if non-swimming spouses and children want to enjoy the boathouse while we are swimming that 1 adult stay with the children. Please no pets (I love dogs) but dogs and wetsuits just don't mix. Last but not least a little RSVP would be great too so that way I know how many paddlers I need to round up. Safety is my first priority at the lake!
*Summer storms usually pass quickly and just because it is storming in Greenville doesn't mean it will be here so unless the weather is unusually bad please still plan to attend. I will make the call at 5:00 PM if we have to cancel for weather.
**If you need a new wetsuit, XTERRA coupon code is CO-MALONE.

Greenville Spinners 2015 Time Trial Series Info!
Cat 1/2/3, Cat 4/unclassified, and Merckx
Cat 4/unclassified would be anyone who doesn't race on a regular basis and isn't ranked in cycling racing = most triathletes!
Merckx (ROAD BIKE) is zero aero equipment, so aero bars on a road bike would bump you into the unclassified category.
