Anyone have a special workout for the holiday? Unfortunately, our pool is closed.
Happy Thanksgiving, one and all! We can have that big meal because of all the good work and good eating habits throughout the year!
The Dolphin Club in San Francisco has a Thanksgiving day morning mile swim in Aquatic Park. Water temps between 54-56. Brrrrr! This will be my first time if I don't chicken out. The air has been chilly lately too!

Reminds me of a mile swim in the River Thames many years ago. BRRR!
I'm planning on doing my turducken workout from last year's holiday season. I think I've found at least 1 swim buddy to try it with me.
Happy Thanksgiving!
i'm in, but to meet my quota, i'll have to go 3x the main set.... and then off to Brighton Beach. Goal: 1 hour (has it dropped below 50 degrees yet?)
One hour in 50 degree water? Wetsuit? Insanity?

While chaos is wallowing wetsuitless in the 50 degree Brighton Beach water, I think I might put my wetsuit on to do the turducken workout solo (thanks addict!) in my pool ... if I can get the heater to crank above 72, I'll skip the wetsuit!
cold wimp
the day after thanksgiving we should all do a Turkey burner workout
something like
72 x 100 on 1:15
I hope to not get too out of control on Thanksgiving
because I'm tapering and won't do much on Friday

I'm not sure it has dropped under 50--it seemed to be holding steady last weekend, according to the reports I heard. I didn't go out at all last weekend.
Let me know how BB is tomorrow--I'm planning on going out on Sunday, but I don't have as lofty a goal as you. I just hope to be brave enough to get all the way in!
(And if you manage 3 turduckens--my hat's off to you!)
I'll be swimming with my team in a bubbled in pool and it will be in the low 40's outside and raining. Brrrr. No clue what the workout will be but I'm looking forward to it.
