I'm HERE!

OK guys! Let the fun begin! This is going to be a wet and wild month! Are you all up for it????

SWIM SWIM SWIMMY SWIMMY SWIM! (Or something like that.)

As you can see, I'm somewhat crazy.

So Darling Cat.... Have you set a swim goal yet? Or shall I set one for you?

LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN!

Scott here. My current goal is 13,000 yards. I may increase that, but we will see how the first couple of weeks go. This challenge might be my inspiration to go for a 2.4 mile swim which is boring in the pool but oh well we shall see.

Hi Scott!

My goal is 16,500 yards this month. It may change, once I find out the pool schedule for the month. All I know right now is that they'll be closed for at least several days, and possibly two weeks.

If it's just several days, I should be able to hit my goal. If it's two weeks, well, I'd better be in the water until I look like a prune! LOL

Hiya,

Im Cat, Im a kiwi living in Australia.

Ive had some pretty full on months and my training has been chaotic at best so Im hoping this is a chance to turn it all around... especially since I love to swim! Just have to get to the pool in the first place

Depite it being summer here right now, its gray, cold and pouring with rain today... I may need to find any indoor pool I can tolerate as I swim in an outdoor 50m pool whenever I can!

My goal for the month is... umm.... not 100% sure! Any suggestions?

Although, this is a TEAM competition, right? So if you don't meet it, then we, um, all drown....

OK, from your log:
November - 2187 yds
October - 4155 yds
September - 7655 yds
August - 9842 yds


Um, Cat.... I'm like noticing a disturbing trend here....

Aren't your numbers supposed to go UP?

Hmm.............. Do I need to take out my whip?

Well, I do understand meters/metres. But your log was in yards for me. LOL (Must have to do with my default settings.)

I think Spokes said he wouldn't even do 50 nanometers. I suggested Angstroms. He nixed that idea, too. At this point, I think he's going to refuse to shower for the entire month -- just to make a statement. LOL

Be.... realistic?

You know you've got some events coming up, so a few days are unavailable already. Also, will your pool be closed for a few days? (Mine will.)

And remember, I've got a whip. That might help. If not, how about if I post pics of Ian Thorpe?
(You don't get pics of Cadel or Robbie this month.)

Forget subliminal messages.

Need bright, happy colors.
