I've never really had the opportunity to practice drafting or group starts aside from races themselves. I figure it would be beneficial to get a group together and practice these things in Lake Michigan. We could buddy up and take turns drafting behind and next to each other or all do a group start to simulate a race start. Saturday and Sunday mornings at Ohio St. beach work great for me. Anyone else interested in something like this???

Haha it never isn't funny. Anyway we could do that. Another option is to go down to Ohio St. beach on a Tuesday or Wednesday evenin when the Fleet Feet or TNT groups are training and just kind of follow them into the water. Usually there's 30 to 50 people going in at once. I know you don't want to crash their party but I think at this late stage in the game they're not going to care much.
