Holiday swimming

So who has big swimming or non-swimming plans over the long Thanksgiving weekend? My team is off both Thursday and Friday, but I found another team (Green Lake Aqua Ducks) that is having practices Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings. Cool! I've heard stories of teams having special Thanksgiving workouts, so I'm interested in hearing what some of you are planning.
  • Ah, dedicated swimmers! The is about a 10% chance I will be back in the pool by Sunday after Thanksgiving, but the reality is most likely Monday morning I will be suffering the consequences for my holiday splurges. I suppose I could make a breif exit from my aquatic realm and try a few laps on the good ole track to try and keep the cardio up (and burn some unwanted calories from the feast before!!)
  • We have water 363 days a year :banana: unless we experience some kind of mechanical failure. :afraid: We're closed for Christmas and graduation - graduation only because of a parking shortage.
  • My plan is to go camping on Thursday and Friday, provided we don't get stormed on. Then on Saturday it will be feeding time with the family! Did my dry land training this morning, will swim on Wednesday and not come back until the following week. Will take a few months off starting in January and concentrate on mountain biking instead. The trails around town have not been nourished by my flesh and blood for a while so time to feed them...

    Lump. Run the Gobble Jog in the Marietta Square! I usually do it when I am in town. They have a 10 K and 5 K. Nice long sleeve Tshirt. Sorry I have to miss it, but I am doing the Turkey Trot in Denver instead and hoping to make it to the Denver U Pool before they close at 1PM on THurs. Thanks, but I'm not a runner anymore. Bad back, one funny step and I'll be down for a month or more. Sounds fun though......in my earlier years!

    I swim on my own and can't find anywhere in Atlanta on Thursday. I'm fighting the battle of the bulge and was hoping to find a place to swim for preventative poundage purposes so I could do my usual T-day pigout. Maybe my ATL friends know of a place...If not I'll be napping in my recliner:bed: I swim MWF (and the occasional Sat)so the holiday doesn't really mess me up. I know Mt. View in Cobb where I swim is open normal hours I believe on Friday....just about everyone I know of is closed on Turkey Day. Just treat that day like your Sunday if you are that worried about missing a day....I know I'm not!:D
  • Sprint triathlon 7:30 am in Goodyear, Arizona for the truly desperate that like to spend 65 dollars on a pool triathlon with a tradition of really crappy t-shirts.:bliss:
  • I will have Villanova practice on Thursday morning which is very cool on their part and probably swim on my own Friday at my Y. See you Thursday morning! :banana:
