Have you ever seen a better place to host an open water swim clinic?!?
Last weekend, I was lucky enough to do just that thanks to Enfinity Health of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Now, can you spot what’s wrong with this picture from the clinic?!?
WHERE IS MY WETSUIT?!?!
Yes, I may have forgotten to pack a key piece of equipment, but that didn’t keep me from having a GREAT time meeting tons of triathletes and open water swimmers from the Winston-Salem area. I got to share some tips and tricks with some open water newbies, and even I learned a thing or two about drafting while trying to keep up with the (still very fast) swimming legend Joe Rhyne!
Check it out, I was on a flyer!!!
Big thank you to Tim, Andrea, and Nick for organizing the clinic and my whole trip to Winston. The clinic venue couldn’t have been more perfect and the Enfinity Health crew made sure I got to see the best of the whole city, including a two-wheeled trip to the top of Pilot Mountain
And a very tedious descent back down!!
Slowtwitch editor and Winston resident Herbert Krabel met me for a running tour of the gorgeous residential areas near Wake Forest’s Reynolda Gardens and I got to spend a lot of quality time catching up with my University of Georgia Swimming teammate Andrea!
Yay for another UGA Swim Reunion!! GO DAWGS!!
Once back in Atlanta, the fun didn’t stop as I did a quick swim Q&A with the Peachtree Tri Club. Luckily this time I remembered to wear clothes!!
I had a great time meeting some local triathletes and I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone out training and racing this season, and hopefully swimming a little bit faster!!!
With Peachtree Tri Club Leaders Pam and Kevin!
