Rob Ehrman asked that we post the following:

————————————-

This is a reminder that the Vision Quest/Team Magellan off-season workout plan has drawn to a close, so there will be no further Wednesday or Sunday morning workouts beginning this week (ie, no workouts March 12 or March 16) . However, we know that the weather is not yet perfectly amenable to outdoor training, so we will be offering a small number of spots in existing VQ classes on Tuesdays at 630am and Saturdays at 10am starting tomorrow, March 11. This 8 week program will include the 2 weekly rides (indoors for now, but outside once the weather improves) and the Sunday swim from 12-2pm at UIC in the small pool for $185. Please contact Rob Ehrman (rob@visionquestcoaching.com) for further details.
