Out with the Ho Hos, Ding Dongs, Twinkies, Zingers... Hostess Foods is back in bankruptcy just two years after coming out of it. Hostess has enough cash to keep stores stocked with its Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and other snacks for now as it battles rising labor costs and increased competition. But longer term, the 87-year-old company has a bigger problem: health-conscious Americans favor yogurt and energy bars over the dessert cakes and white bread they devoured 30 years ago. Yea!!!!

Do this to help keep your legs streamlined behind you, reserving them for running and biking. Moving your center of gravity forward, will provide free lift for your legs so you aren’t dragging them across the lake! Keeping your body streamlined will also provide less resistance. This works great when you want to work on your butterfly too.. 1 ) Push off the wall in tight streamline position, head facing bottom between outstretched arms, arms squeezing head, get as much distance as you can from your fingertips to your toes that are pointed with feet together behind you. 2) As you surface keep one arm stretched forward and take a stroke with the other until you are back in streamline position (like a catch up drill), 3) Take another stroke the same way until it meets the other in front. 4) On the third stroke take a strong pull and begin normal swim.
1650 Does Not Equal a Mile Most people think that there are 1,650 yards in a mile. Not True! There are 1,760 yards in a mile. If you are training in a pool think about that. That means you should really be swimming 70 laps and a turn instead of 66 for a mile. There are 1609.34 Meters in a mile! So 1,500 meters does not make a mile! Add 1 second for every turn you make to get a rough idea of how you are doing in open water for a mile. So tonight at practice we will swim a 1,760! (an extra 100 fly) Welcome to Open Water Swim Season!	Warrenton Masters Ride for Autism Warrenton Masters members ride to Barrel Oak for Autism Fundraiser
