We have a total of 41 athletes (37 Gators and 4 Jr. Gators/Gator Tots) who have logged 287 completed challenges through week 4! Now it's time to see how we did in week 5! And it's never too late to join in, so if you'd like to participate, just post a comment and you are in! Each Monday we post this "Roll Call" where you can comment back about your results for the week, in this case Week 4 that ran from Monday 2/1 through Sunday 2/7... Your reply can be as simple as "SBR" if you completed the Swim/Bike/Run Challenge (40 minutes of each with caveat that you can substitute additional run or cycling due to the currented limited swim options [especially last week with 3 of our swim workouts lost to the weather], so 60 minutes each of bike and run would earn you the SBR credit) or "SCF" if you completed the Strength/Core/Flexibility Challenge (45 minutes total of any combination) or "Both" if you completed both. Also, this serves as your "This Week in Tri Club" post with a rundown of the week's club activities, which includes a full 7 days of workout options! Just a reminder to please observe social distancing before, during, and after any group workouts in which you participate and always have a mask with you as those are the best way to ensure that we can continue to offer club cycling, running, and swim workouts. Here is what is on the calendar for this week; to assist our coaches with planning and capacity limits, please indicate any that you plan to attend on the weekly workouts poll... https://www.facebook.com/groups/msgators/permalink/1605788722939227 NOTE: We will provide an update post if there are any changes due to weather conditions...
