Team Swimming Rocks (Page 17)

 Great job everyone, and sorry I was gone yesterday, just had a lot to do. Got to stay on top of things, and keep our country safe.  Was out of office, and no computers on me.

 So where are we, and what do we need to do????

 Technically, we should all be at 48% in our training logs. So congratulations to all who are above that point, and also a well welcomed congrats to all who are almost there and making progress on their goals for the month.

 Please inspire the following people to keep on swimming and getting above 48%??

     AlexB , barbercl , colesdad , Donto , gracetheterp , Grimmco , kpb421 , LeCrac , madkat , medic0020 , milaminute , mindji , ronislye, runnerg1rl7 , ShawnC13 , swgraham , tntexpress , jacsuza

 Please really push and inspire as much as you can the following people who are below 30%, I think they really need our help. I know you can all get there, and we all have faith in you all to help us stay above the rest of the other teams.

     kns57 ,  stilltri-ing , wurkit_gurl

   Again, out team average is below 46% and hope we can all get there. On the supper side, guy's, time to get your girlfriends / wifes / etc.. somthing if you forgot! Don't forget some flowers. Lady's,

 HAPPY VALENTINES TO YOU ALL!!

To swim faster, all you have to do is incorporate some sprinting w/ low rest in between.  i.e. 10 X 100's with 10sec rest. Make sure they are as fast as possible.  Good luck, and keep up on the great swimming.

You are still in good standings right now, just hit it hard when it opens. I know how you got to be feeling. Great swimming, and keep it going when pool opens. Happy training, and go Team Swimming Rock.

PS: If everyone promises to get their numbers up and above and stay there, I will trow myself under the ocean and go for 100K. Only if everyone get above mileage and stay there!!

I've got to be crazy. Hooyahhh!

That is exactly how I feel right now. But I have not seen any takers on the team and have not heard from "oceanie", guess I have no pressure on my end, so should be a regular smile right now, and keep total to 75,000 for this month.

milaminute - 2008-02-13 9:57 PM Ummmm... you've got her with the UMD part of her username and then there's Gracetheterp and then there's ME. So, uhhh... you're in fear the turtle territory 'round here, Dee .

 

Well, actually.... I really like turtles. So I guess UMD is ok, then. Yay for turtles!

LOL!  That is much more like it, Dee .

medic0020 - 2008-02-14 8:47 PM Too bad the "turtles" lost last night to Duke

Yes, yes, well aware *sigh*.  Doesn't matter, I still love 'em.

What's really ummmm... not that fun is that my boy toy played division I basketball... for some team with some kinda bird mascot or something... and we are both pretty big college hoops fans.  There are some tense moments around here this time of year and March Madness is like a national holiday in our house .

 I will give it a shot! So, it's the same as running, huh ;-), to run faster you have to actually run faster. he he  That is one thing that I don't really have in my swim workouts is any speed stuff.

Thank you!

Well, just got one last swim in before a half mary this weekend.  I won't be back in the pool till Wednesday, but I'm at 18k, and I'm pretty sure that still keeps me on track.  This would not be possible w/o this challenge.  GO ROCKS!

Alrighty, rocks - I found my way back to the pool this morning and got 2000 yds in, bringing me to 54%.

Great job, everyone - keep those fins flappin!

Which is why I love these challenges so much.  I biked what was usually a three month total in January.  Now, I'm looking at the yards I've swimmied/swammied/swummied and it kinda shocks me a bit.  We all have it in us to do this stuff, it's just hard to push ourselves sometimes.  It's good to have others on your side, especially one's with pink whips

Great work, Bob.
