Splash Through the Silly Season December Swim Challenge (Page 12)

Cat,

I will volunteer to be an elf if one is still needed. After a year of Challenges I guess it is time to step up to the plate. And I even changed my ink to bleu for the swim Challenge. Finally I get to change my avatar, I'm about sick of my body parts on the site.

Chris

I would step up if needed but I want to be on Beth, yanti, and cat's team. I'm so torn I don't know where to go. It's driving me to drink, oh the depression, the irony of it all!

Little dramatic isn't it? LOL

I am not swimming a nanometer. I don't care what Don says.

Mascot - NOT swimmer here.

OK then. We'll put you down for 3.6 Angstroms.

How about a Planck length? I can move that far just lying still.

On January 1st here they do a Polar Bear Dip in Lake Washington at 11am!! You should find one in your area. Great for your mind body and soul!

How about your marathon time (in minutes) divided by 5? If you hit 4 hrs, you'll only have to do 48 yds. What a great motivator, eh?

EDIT: and btw, wading in cool water after the mary is incredible therapy for the legs. After Grandma's marathon, Lake Superior was a balmy 50 degrees.

There's no way I'm jumping in any cold water, including ice water therapy. It physically hurts to put any portion of my body in cold water.

Yikes! Donto, Cat. Need to dumb down my goal. Found out pool schedules for December. I will be missing 2 major swim workouts toward the end of the month between Christmas and New Years (both about 2,900 yd workouts).

Too late to revise goal to 13,000 yds?

Can I still get in the challenge? And I have to be on an opposite team from Dexter....Isn't there some law that says one must compete against a sibling?

If I can get in put me in for 12,000 yds. I am visiting relatives christmas week, and the pool is closed for Hanukkah!

Nah not too late.... dont tell but I havent even worked out my goal yt.. ooops!

Hey, can I still get in on this? Im new to challenges, but it looks like you still need a couple of elfs?! If it's OK, put me down for 10 000metres.

thanks

I want to play!

With the holiday I'll probably lose two swims, so put me down for 11,000 meters.
