Great Job, Coach Judie!
Thanks Cathy for taking the time to share your feedback.
"I highly recommend Coach Judie if you're looking for help in your swimming! As a newer swimmer (just learned how to swim last year) I am still trying to perfect my stroke, correct the bad habits I've fallen into & figure out how to swim faster. In the short time I've been taking Coach Judie's Master swim class, she has been able to pin point what I need to work on and consistently gives me the constructive criticism I'm always looking for. Every week she offers her support, critiques my strokes and is always very encouraging. As I always tell her, there's no swimming under the radar in her class...she definitely is always watching! She does everything she can to show proper form, short of getting in the pool herself! She has even given me suggestions for things to do outside of the pool to help learn a new stroke, things she's done herself that helped her when she was learning. She's a great addition to the ET coaching staff!" - Cathy B.

Staying Cycling-Fit Through the
Winter Months - Part 1
I've heard many times from athletes how winter running is something they look forward to, and is pivotal to their annual run training program. The cool temperatures seem to lure out the inner runner in us. However, cycling through the cold winter months doesn't hold the same appeal for quite so many folks. And let's face it, here in Chicago, it's difficult to ride outdoors on many given winter days due to extreme weather hazards. So the question becomes, how does one stay cycling fit, and motivated to stay cycling fit, during the inevitable winter months? The question may be easy, but the answer is woven into layers and various approaches, so bear with me while I touch on some of these for you to consider as these cold days settle in.
