Team Swimming Rocks (Page 10)

I got another swim in tonight - starting to get the hang of this swimming thing....I think.....sometimes I can go several laps feeling good then struggle for a couple before I get back in the groove.......Anyway - I know I started the challenge slow/late and probably had several of you wondering about me.....no need to worry....I am committed to this challenge and I WILL MAKE MY DISTANCE!!

Partly because I have heard the crack of Mila's whip.....wait..... Is that motivation to do or NOT do the distance! Can I get clarification on that?

Midweek Challenge Update!

 Okay- just put in 1850 in a great swim! I think I love swimming!

 My only problem is I do not love fooling around with that spread sheet. I am afraid I'm going to goof it up. Can some one either post or PM me with how to add my 1850 so we can add it to the team balance tonight? Merci!

Hey, I swim like a rock.   Maybe I should have joined your team    

although I gave up swimming for Lent (and Advent, and Thanksgiving, I may swim again around Memorial Day - guess that wouldn't have helped the this team out too much if winning was the goal)

Well, either some kind soul added my yardage (if so, thanks!) or I actually did it myself even though I thought I had not... Anyway, I'm up to 22% after two February swims, and for that, I feel happy!

I have returned... another 1250 done like dinner putting me at 25% of goal.

You all ROCK!!!  Keep up the great effort.  Or I will flog you.  That is all .

I got to the pool and got in just under 23 minutes (600 yds -- I'm also one of the "newer" swimmers).  Still under 20.7%, but closer to the goal (18%) and I've got one, possibly two more swimmys before Sunday.  The challenge is helping me to get even more creative about getting my pool time in.  (Snuck it in while child #2 was at ballet and #1 sat poolside and did some homework)

Phew!!!!!  I'm at 22 % (I'm pretty sure).  Trying not to slack :-)  Swimming was tough this morning.  My arms and shoulders were sore from my lifting session on Tuesday.  I managed to complete the workout, though.  Hopefully tomorrow morning's swim will be more comfortable.

Is that a promise or a threat?

You can hold on to the wip, we just need to start cracking it. We need at least 24% from everyone to be on track. Go girl, start wipping that thing !!

 I think that would be a promise! I got flogged for trying to take the wip, so be carefull!!

Go Team, will get back to it tonight to provide an update on where everyone is at. You all have till tonight to get to 24%, or Mila is going to start cracking that wip!

I kind of enjoyed it, so maybe you may want some too! Kept me going faster on the bike last night!! You all have a great training day!!

PS. kns57; thanks for sticking with us as our cheerleader, we all love you for being our Team Captain, and hope you heal up from Bronchitis soon. Happy training.

Devo - Whip it

"Now whip it - Into shape - Shape it up - Get straight - Go forward - Move ahead T- ry to detect it - Its not too late - To whip it - Whip it good"

Booyah, my 1st 1300 yards done, no 0% this week! Finally felt good enough to get to the pool this morning.  Didn't push it, took long RIs, but sure felt good afterwards. 

30 minutes at the pool today. at 38%.
