Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel ^^^^^^^^^ I could not get my status update un-underlined. It's annoying the crap out of me but I had to give up after 5 minutes of messing around. Yes, sometimes I'm OCD like that |

Champion 7931 Sequim, Washington | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel disturbed275 - 2009-03-06 4:18 AM I can relate surprisingly well to that little guy. mchally - 2009-03-06 1:46 AM I guess that I should think about bed soon... good night all You know, Mel, if you ignore the arrow in your avatar's back it kinda looks like it just collapsed from exhaustion. Seems kinda fitting for you 
I get the impression that he went kersplat. |

Champion 7931 Sequim, Washington | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel LazyMarathoner - 2009-03-06 6:39 AM So now that i'm caught up on posts, good morning team. Today will be a strange one. I woke up with hideous throat pain and my throat is actually swelled. I'm waiting to see if being up and having some hot beverages helps. I have a relatively short, but intense trainer ride today (all anaerobic) and really want to make up yesterday's swim. I'm going to wait 30 minutes, confirm I don't have a fever and then do what feels right. As luck would have it, I scheduled a call with my coach today so I can talk to him about this as well. Not Good!!! It sounds like you should see someone. |

Champion 7931 Sequim, Washington | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel 1stTimeTri - 2009-03-06 7:26 AM I wear old broken down suits...they have lost much of their elasticity and anywhere that water can flow through has become very baggy. Old suits become drag suits for training and new suits are for races...not that I have any new suits...disturbed275 - 2009-03-06 6:17 AM mchally - 2009-03-06 1:44 AM 1stTimeTri - 2009-03-05 8:06 PM I much prefer the somewhat-local 50 meter pool. It is salt water. It also is outdoors so it is closed for half of the year. LazyMarathoner - 2009-03-05 10:04 PM 1stTimeTri - 2009-03-05 2:56 PM LazyMarathoner - 2009-03-05 9:00 AM Morning. Ah, sleeping in until 7 was absolute bliss. I could get used to that, but better not. I have a big swim tonight, a little over 3,000. That will be my peach for the day! What's the setup - yards or meters? One pool is yards, one is meters. The pool tonight was meters. I think I'll do it in the yards pool tomorrow though. It's closer. All Americans swim in the yards pool, and everyone else hits the metric pool? I've always wanted to try swimming in a longer pool. Since I've never bothered to learn flip turns I waste a lot of time at the wall I don't do flip turns - you don't do those in the open water, do you? Yeah, it slows you down at the pool, but I don't care myself. I wear baggy swim trunks, too, which adds a lot of resistance. |

Champion 7931 Sequim, Washington | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel LazyMarathoner - 2009-03-06 7:53 AM I always do flip turns in the pool, but I much favor the Olympic length pools. They are more than twice as long as the standard 25 yard pool. 1stTimeTri - 2009-03-06 10:26 AM disturbed275 - 2009-03-06 6:17 AM mchally - 2009-03-06 1:44 AM 1stTimeTri - 2009-03-05 8:06 PM I much prefer the somewhat-local 50 meter pool.

Yeah, it slows you down at the pool, but I don't care myself. I wear baggy swim trunks, too, which adds a lot of resistance. I don't do them either and likely never will. I've gotten really fast with turns at the wall, you can minimize the time wasted but it will always slow you a bit. But I'm a firm believer that flip turns diminish the workout a bit. People push off the wall so hard they end up gliding a fourth of the length, which doesn't help much for endurance training. 1 Mile Swim Breakdown In a Standard Pool...35.2 laps...70 flip turns. In an Olympic Length Pool...16.1 laps...32 flip turns. There is a little bit of a difference. Edited by mchally 2009-03-06 11:21 AM |

I'll add to that - kicking off the wall is a possible candidate of getting cramps for me (working the calves harder). That is why I choose to keep my push-offs fairly light...just enough to keep a decent momentum...not the long glide. the exception is pool races...I will focus a bit on flip turns before the race to brush up my form and strength. |

Champion 7931 Sequim, Washington | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel disturbed275 - 2009-03-06 8:39 AM Funny thing, my coach noted last night that I was actually keeping up with a couple of the guys in the fast lane until we got to the wall, where their fancy flip turns would instantly gain them at least a body length on me coming off the wall. I gained a at least 6 yards on the guy next to me on every turn in my race...I ended up lapping him twice in a 450 (my form is a bit better as well). It makes a huge difference. |

Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel I'm ducking out of working to go get in a decent ride. The plan says 30 miles but I might stretch that a little longer if I'm feeling good. It might be the last time out on the bike for awhile....... |

Pro 4608 Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Team Peep Show - The Sequel Just chatted with my coach and he wants me to rest the rest of today and do the swim on Sunday, instead of resting then. He thinks I should try to kick this cold immediately. I love that idea |

Weather should be fine, possible rain, though. Getting some gels tomorrow. I'm always thinking if that 15 weeks of base paid off or not. Good luck with that! |
