GIRLS TEAM THREAD May Swim Challenge (Page 14)

ebshot - 2009-05-01 7:04 AM Bah!!!  I am sooooo annoyed!  I swapped my swim to this afternoon after I dropped Liam off at school.  I head to go to the pool on the Navy base and they don't let me on because my car registration expired yesterday (it's registered in IL.  We renewed it but haven't received the sticker yet).  Soooo, no swim for me.  The Y's lap swim time is over now too.   Not the way I planned to start the swim challenge. 

errrr. what a bummer!

Hello! Do like my Hat?

Woah! 17 pages ALREADY!!

Well I'm Lynne. From Scotland and I apparently love to swim.  I've neglected this fact the last couplke of months or so. This is a good way to get me back into the pool. Starting tonight - providing they let me over the border into Canada. Eh? 

I've had an assatar before.  Never again I vowed

Hello! Since we are introducing ourselves. I am Nancy, I am of course a mom of twins,  I did my first tri in 1997, I then turned 30 and my biological clock kicked in and wanted children, that became my focus,  I got pregnant when I was 32 using insemination.  Unfortunately was still trying to train and may have been overexerting for my reproductive fragility and miscarried. Well as any infertility story goes and goes I finally took the plunge and did IVF and bam I was blessed with twin boys at the age of 36.  

Post pregnancy: I was 200+ when I delivered the boys, of course you loose a lot post delivery but still had that lingering 25-30 lbs to loose.  I started swimming, walking the jogger and then adding a jog from one telephone pole to the next... then riding my mtn bike.   Did my second all women tri in 2006 and haven't stopped.  Someday when the boys are older I will shoot for a longer distance but  I work part time nights as an ICU  nurse and sprint distance is doable without adding more stress.

 I have a swimming background, so yes the swim comes easy to me, but I could be more proficient in the water, I always think distance per stroke!  Next time they have a stroke clinic I am there!

Aloha Lynne, long time no talk. How's it going?

Aloha!  Things are ok. Today is the last day at my job. I'm driving to Canada for 3 days and I am doing the 1/2 marathon there on Sunday   Start a part time job next Wednesday though.

So glad you got another job.

1/2 marathon! WOW!

May day it Lei day in Hawaii!  Wishing you all a wonderful Lei day!

HELLO Ladies!

Hello! Do like my Hat?

Go Dogs Go!

It's a dog party!  A big dog party!

And now do you like my hat?

I do! What a hat! I like that party hat!

I was wondering if anyone would follow on!

If I can leave work early enough and make it through the border quickly I can swim in a blissful 50 meter pool. Oooooh. I'm droolin already.
