Hafa Adai,
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving, and are doing
well as we head towards massive eating season. Here are some workouts
to keep you in check in the mean time.

Design the New Tri Club Kit - We have had much interest in
getting club kit last year, but my total lack of artistic abilities
didn't get us anywhere. Now I am asking for your help.
Please submit a design for Louis Garneau Delfino Racer Top and Delfino Bottom by 12/19. See their website for
more info. On the right side of the page, there is more info about
templates and colors. Garneau prints their designs, so there is no
limit to the number of colors you can use.  
Here are some other requirements: 
-must say AATC or Ann Arbor Tri Club somewhere
-must use the logo of our sponsors
Please e-mail me for more information, and I can fill you in which logos to use. Good luck!

This Saturday @ BSI from 8-9 am. Bring your own bike, trainer and $5.
Turnout was low last week, but Edie has agreed to run it for another 4
weeks to gauge interest. Please arrive by 7:45 to allow time for set-up.

Run - Heather Woolls will be leading an easy 5-7 mile run
out of Gallup Park at 9 a.m. Please meet at the wooden car bridge. For
the ambitious, make it a brick after doing the Body Specs workout.

Sunday, December 6
HyperFit Trainer Ride
- Club sponsor HyperFit is offering a free
trainer ride on Sundays at 8am, led by fellow triathlete and general
badass Zoe Metro. Zoe writes,
"Sunday morning rides at Hyperfit USA in December. Come set up your bike
and trainer and ride for an hour or two. Informal "class" - bring towel
and water bottle. I'll have a workout ready, but feel free to do your
own thing too. Invite your friends: anyone with a bike and trainer is
welcome - no fee, your company is enough for me :-) But no complaining
about my music! (well you can complain, but I'm not changing it....)"
HyperFit is located at 670 Airport Blvd in Ann Arbor.

Tuesday Track Club Workout
 -
Workouts have moved INSIDE! Come have your butt handed to you by the
track club. Workout starts at 7:30 (not 7:00) in the field house. The
bad news is that the price is now $5, but the good news is that we get
the track all to ourselves (that means no more pole vaulters or
8-year-old's out-running you.) This week: 2 x 800 m (400 m jog), 2 x 600 m (400 m jog), 5 x 400 m (200 m jog).

That's all for now. If you have any gripes, let me know.
