For the month of August you will be receiving 2 weekly emails; one from Shutterfly as usual and one from @milfordathleticclub.org. If you do not receive the new email please let me know at: h2oranger@hotmail.com. Please make sure that you check your junk/spam folder, my email from @milfordathleticclub.org was in that folder.
Look for the Open Water Games on Labor Day morning (8:30am) at the pond as a farewell to open water. This workout will be all fun and a lot like the 12 Relays of Christmas that we traditionally put on. More details to come as we get closer to the event but put this on your calendars now!

Event Details:
From the Coaches:
Maria: This week we will swim at Kent Beach for Tuesday open water practice. Look for us at 6:15 by the T-Rex swim in sign.
Melissa: Congratulations to all who swam to the moon this morning! Team MAC had a great turnout – lots of blue and green on the beach. Great job everyone!
Jim: Friday will be the last Dryland Training starting at the Milford YMCA (parking lot) @ 9:30. I’ve gotten GREAT response from the people who have came. A fun way to get cross training, while walking the Milford (paved) trail…with other MAC swimmers. Don’t miss the last workout this Friday! All ability levels welcome. It will take about 90 minutes. The workout will be “cash donation based”, (pay whatever you’d like) benefiting the MAC Young Gun fund. Bring hydration, and a hand towel, (and maybe a mini backpack to carry them).
Kris: Gone for summer season
Dianne: With two weeks left before Labor Day weekend many of you will be taking a much needed/deserved break before the start of the fall season. We will continue to have practices over the next few weeks, perfect if you are looking for a long stretch swim after Swim to the Moon or a Triathlon. If you are continuing to train for an upcoming event, let me know and I will tailor the workouts to what you need. And for the ones how are taking a break before stroke reset; get some rest, relax and get ready to train for Nationals in the spring!
On a Personal Note:
Congratulations Nathalie, who came in 1st Place in her age group in the 1/2 Ironman distance and Patrick for rocking his first Olympic Tri, at the Michigan Titanium Triathlon.
Swim to the Moon was again a fantastic event this year with beautiful weather! Congratulations to all from MAC for competing hard: Melissa Richardson, Mike Smith, Chris Smith, John Cassidy, Marsha Negro, Mike Schuldinger, Maria Veen, Ron Vandekerckhove, Joannie Eastridge, Stephanie Morris, Marilyn Reichenbach, Cathy Peck, Gordon Frenette, Jim Deren, Sue Haapaniemi, Ellen Defever, Brad Eastridge, Kitty Vandenbrulle, Ann Ward, Jason Mallory, Paula Page, Carol Schemanske, Debbie Evans, Roberta Routt, Diane Petronio, Martha Amis, Sheryl Walsh, Terry Bond-Manville, and 7 year old Charlotte Smith (Chris Smith’s oldest daughter)!
