Champion  5615   |  Subject: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!!Hey fellow Crabs. I wanted to see how everyone's distances are holding up now that we are almost 1/2 way through the challenge. For me, this is the "put up or shut up" week. We all seem to lose interest and desire after 2 weeks. Well, in an effort to do my part, I set the bar pretty high this week. I jumped in the pool this morning and busted out my first ever 4250 yd, 2.4mi FULL IM distance swim. I was only supposed to do 2500 yards, but I just felt like I needed to prove to myself that I could do it and to re-ignite that fire of competition. I did learn one thing this morning, though. 85 down-and-back laps in a 25yd pool is BOOORRRINNGGG!!! So, how's everyone else faring so far? Are you feasting on the yardage, are you on track and about right, or are you sitting back waiting to pounce during the last week? |

Regular 97 | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! Awesome swim Shaun! I agree staring at the black line can be boring. But, don't let your mind wander too much so you don't lose track of your count! I hate when that happens! My goal is 10,000 yards, and I've logged 5423 so far (sometimes I swim in a meter pool and that's why the odd number of yards). I'll be getting in the pool again tomorrow and probably one other day this week. GO CRABS! |

Master 1551  Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! Awesome job with the swim challenge Shaun!!! I'm over 50% there, so I'm on track for my goal. I haven't made it to the pool as many days as I had planned, but I'm doing longer sessions there. Good work Crabs!!!  Hopefully Renee will have the stats posted today so we can see where we stand compared to the other teams. |

Expert 623 Wye Mills, MD | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! 7700/15,000 after this morning's swim. I gained an extra swim, then lost one to snow last week, so I'm on pace. I've got two more swims at my regular pool (school closes Dec 22), then the challenge part kicks in and I haul my tail down to the Y between Christmas and New Years. Or I just do what Shaun did and finish out the month in one day.  |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! Great swim Shaun!!! I'm planning on getting in two 2,000 meter swims this week - one tomorrow and one on Friday. I agree that this is "put up or shut up" week. I haven't been doing as much as I would like, but I finished my semester yesterday and I have much more time to focus on the swimming (and the other things, too). |

Master 1551 Virginia Beach, VA | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! Great job team, 67% of the team is at or above their goal for the month. Let's get out there and swim and inspire others to do the same. Go Crabs!!! |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! I got in 2700 meters today and I'm hoping to get another swim in on Friday. I just found out that the pool at school is closing from December 21 - January 2, so I need to be done by then. Don't think it will be too much of a problem - I'm a little over halfway to my goal after today's swim. |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! I got in another 2000 meters, albeit very very slowly, but at least that doesn't matter. My total swim distance for this week is 4700 meters. How is everyone else doing this week? |

Expert 997 North Central WV | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! Hi Team, Sorry I haven't been much of a team player lately. I have been checking in from time to time to see how you are all doing. I managed to get in a decent swim this morning. I had planned on swimming yesterday too but woke with a migraine. Anyway, I seem to be approaching my goal as planned. The pool closes for a good part of the holidays so I have to try to stay on track. Keep swimming crabs. Mal |

Expert 997 North Central WV | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! Congratulations to everyone who has achieved or almost achieved their goal. My pool is only open 5 more days before the end of the year. Fortunately, 4 of those days are next week when I am taking time off so I should be able to finish off my goal then. Keep swimming Crabs. Let's shoot for #1! |

| Regular 97 | Subject: RE: Pinch 'Em, Crabs!!! Dear Team, I don't know what I was thinking, but my goal is actually 15, 000, so my previous announcement of making my goal of 10, 000 is incorrect. HOWEVER, I did swim again today and am up to 13,423, so I should achieve my REAL goal soon! Sorry! Everybody is doing great. GO CRABS! |
