Party On, MTSC Masters!!!
We just don't want to let go of SUMMER. With that in mind, we also have a few events for your busy social calendar...
"MTSC Masters' Parrothead Night" at Anchor High Marina
Wednesday, August 22 at 6:30
Phfins up, MTSC MASTERS!!!! Yes, as summer slips away into the sunset, let's take one more opportunity to grab hold of it for as long as we can. What better thing to do than....PARTY! On Wednesday, August 22, we plan to meet at Anchor High Marina for dinner at 6:30. As is fitting with an MTSC Masters' event, outlandish dress is REQUIRED, so wear your most "Buffett-esque" parrothead attire.
July marked the first 2 installments of the MTSC Masters' Fitness Summit. Madhavi Kondakalla, R.D. talked to us about "Fueling your Machine" and gave us some insight on proper nutrition. Dr. Michael Bernui led the second session with a discussion about supplements and the detoxification process.
We look forward to our next session on Tuesday, August 28th at 6:30 p.m., where our own Dr. Dave Trenner will talk about the "Agony of deFEET".
If your "dogs are barking" , join us for this session, when Dr. Dave will unlock the mysteries of common running and swimming injuries that affect the feet...like plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis. If you are a biped, you'll want to be there! Presentation will be at Sea Star Swim School.
In September, Dr. Ben Follas of Living Well Chiropractic will address "twinges in our hinges"-- some of the aches and pains that swimmers experience--like those pesky shoulders, the pain in the neck, and in the elbow. We'll meet at his office (Living Well Chiropractic, next to Casa Vieja Restaurant).
| Thanks to Dr. Ben Follas for his tremendous presentation about the "Twinges in our Hinges". We feel better already! |

Poor Dr. Ben...he had NO IDEA what he was getting into, did he? YIKES! |
NIGHT MOVES
Night Moves have returned!!! What's better than swimming in the lake at sunset? We're moving our Thursday evening workout to the shores of Old Hickory Lake (at the Rock Castle Cove, to be precise). Be at Coach Ron's house at 6:30; don't go to the door, just go around back to the lake. The course is approximately 3,000 yards, according to our resident GPS guy (Thanks, Eric!). Also, for your safety, we'll have escorts in kayaks, so no worries. Get the edge on your next triathlon. Join us for NIGHT MOVES!!!!

Party at Livermore's!
"ˇSalsarita la Bamba!" (whatever that means...) Time to refuel from all the calories you burned swimming long course on Saturday morning! Dress is "fiesta casual", so if the ladies prefer to wear grass skirts, no worries. Larry assures us that the property has been sprayed for insects, so no GRASSHOPPERS! We'll send directions in an email along with what you should bring (besides whatever adult beverage in which you plan to partake).
What's new for the fall?
