Swimming with other people makes swimming so much better, doesn't it??

This winter, I've started up a Five Thousand Friday group with our little (but growing!) group of NYC-based pro triathletes. We rotate weekly between distance sets, sprint sets, and pull sets, with all workouts having a triathlon racing specific goal. 

You can catch up on the workouts we'e done so far in my Instagram Story Highlights. Click on the highlight called "Training Posts" for details and ideas for your next swim workout.
