Thanksgiving Special Swims??

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!
  • Our community pool and gym will be closed tomorrow, so it looks like I will finally take the opportunity to check out our new community walking trail in the woods, followed by a home dryland workout. Happy :turkey:Day to you all! After we're all done with our various swims and dryland workouts, we'll all be as ravenous as these Smilies. Just look at those guys mac out on that turkey! :afraid: Cheers! :chug: Elaine P.S. Don't forget to give a big :smooch: to your loved ones and tell them how thankful you are to have them in your life! While I'm at it, I would like to say I'm thankful to USMS for all that you do! And, I'm thankful to my new swimming friends who have shared their friendship, support, and encouragement. You know who you are- thanks! ;)

    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? i think i'm ready for it... though i have dropped 12 lbs since nov 6. we'll see how it goes.

I was going in to the lake to do a Thanksgiving mile with the Openwaterchicago group, but just remembered I'm working in the morning :( Will do my own Turducken in the pool.

    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!) see you in the AM at riverbank. i'm taking your relay partner to BB after the turduckins

    My honey does the traditional "Work off your Turkey Workout" on Thanksgiving morning :) It's very well attended!
  • I'm planning on doing my turducken workout I'm not sure I want to do a pool workout that has "turd" as part of its name. Missed Thanksgiving, but swam this morning and felt truly horrible!

Swimsuit Addict, We swam laps yesterday at the beautiful Lawrence (Kansas) Indoor Aquatic Center. It's an indoor 50-meter pool (set up as 25 yards yesterday). We did your turducken sets. Great idea. They really keep the boredom away when you have to swim without a group! Anna Lea
