Hi Folks,
We changed ride from Friday to Th for Chelino Valley road with Gerald, so we don’t interfere with Friday ride.
I am so very sad to pass on distressing news that Gerald Aganza’s wife, Kat, passed away this last week. Many of you who know Gerald expressed interest in helping him in some way to lend support through this very tough time. I thought A Gerald Go Fund me page would be so helpful for him so he can deal with the costs that are piling up during this tragic time. It provides a vehicle for friends and family of Kat and Gerald who live far away to reach out and help where it is needed.
I’ve emailed the link to most of you in our workout groups; I’m not sure how to put the link up in WordPress yet; hope to do that soon.
I will be taking him out on a ride on THURSDAY on Chelino Valley Rd, starting from the little schoolhouse about a half mile in from the east end of that road. Time tba. Gerald and I both have birthdays on the same day of 7/31/20; won’t be much of a “celebration”, but will be good to get out for a ride to Tomales and back (or shorter; it’s 16.5 to Tomales) with friends in a beautiful area. Let’s see if some of you can make it.
You’ll do well to get in two strength day sessions if you’re emphasizing swim-bike-run during this Summer; you pick the days that best fit your schedule. Could be a Monday/Thursday, Tuesday/ Friday or Wednesday/ Saturday; it’s good to spread out the sessions. Those of you who are getting in more sessions can focus on including more Swings and Turkish Get-Up sessions, which could be 10 x 10, or 5 x 10 Swings on the minute (OTM) followed by two Get-Ups on each side.
