Double Duty

The Ironteam X (it's the 10 year anniversary season) will begin with the kickoff party next Saturday! It's pretty exciting to be starting another season and soon we will be busy every weekend with team training so we apologize in advance to our friends and family if you feel a little neglected..... but this is important stuff!

As the title indicates I (that would be Nancy) will be doing double duty this season, well actually triple duty. I will be a team participant, training and fund raising. I will be a mentor, helping participants navigate the Ironteam system with support in all aspects of the training, fundraising, and general pats on the back! And I will be leading the swim training for the team.

As most of you know I have just retired from coaching the Tracy High Varsity Swim Team after 10 years. The Ironteam was missing some leadership in this area and I am very happy to be able to step in and fill the need. I love coaching and was concerned about missing it so this is great! We had a coaches clinic today and I'm very excited about the coaching staff's commitment to providing a quality program. We spent 2 1/2 hours together going over my teaching methods and it was great. We can't wait to get started!

BTW - Skip is still on the mend and did the swim drills/skills today as well. We are on our way!

Good luck with your training! I might need you to email me some swim workouts, I've been out of the water for a loooong time!

Way to go guys, keep up the great work!

You are both amazing! I have had many of your former swimmers begging me to ask you to come back this year and coach......

You are sure loved! Hugs!
