nehptune - 2009-05-02 12:19 AM can we add a caveat to the challenge, that when the guys lose, the assatars have to be of them in speedos?

it only makes sense.

lol there was old men in speedos today at the pooll
Yeah we have mostly started in the mens team


I wish my pool had some speedo-friendly swimmers, but it seems that we only have the old guys in speedos.   That's no fun!

Mmmm and when I swim during the day the speedos the old guys wear are nearly as old as the guysCry. Eeewww.


ugh... that's just terrible!

i guess i'm just lucky i get to swim in the pool at college. i'm sure it's a totally random thing but somehow i usually go swim when the guy's water polo team are practicing :D

ebshot - 2009-05-01 10:04 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. 

sorry Erica...hope your afternoon was better! I swam for you! and then I went outside and swam some more in the rain setting up for tomorrows event...it is drizzling outside and just enough to annoy you! hoping tomorrow it holds off til we are done! fingers/toes crossed! get in a good swim tomorrow! have a great weekend!!!!!

aquagirl - 2009-05-01 10:07 AM Hi Girls!
My name is Helen...and I am really really trying to live up to my silly username!

When I joined BT I was in the middle of a major swim focus , having just joined a Masters swim  group and came up with the lame name. I have always loved to swim, especially in open water but have the speed of a manatee as opposed to a fish.  I am slooow in the water and am getting coaching right now to try and speed me up.

This will be my third season of triathlons and I am currently ignoring a HIM training plan completely and just swimming, biking and running a whole heck of a lot. 

I am a part time NICU nurse working 12 hour nights.....so I am a little all over the map.......but it leaves lots of time to train.

 And now.........off to the pool!!
 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE...whatever you learn...could you pass it on! I am in the need for speed, too!

BbMoozer - 2009-05-01 10:18 AM HI Team:
I"m Sarah. I've been doing tri's now since 2006. I had only done recreational and charity bike rides and then because I love a challenge and love pushing myself, I figured what the hay... ain't gettin' younger so why not a tri?!
I'm not very fast but I'm consistent. I need to get stronger swimming so I can chase away the OWS un-easy's I feel in tri's. Daggumit! I hate those!
anyhow... was going to swim today but pool was packed so that fact along with having my first duathlon this Sunday, figured I'd take it as a 'sign' to ease up. But I'll be back on track next week.

Hey Sarah.....good luck in your race this weekend! look forward to getting to know you and some of the other girls. look forward to hearing about how much fun you had in your du....go get em!!!

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

Lynne....hey girl...how are ye?

Happychick - 2009-04-30 5:36 PM Ok...I'm a bit slow but I am finally caught up and thought about making several more comments but had to wipe the drool off the computer!   Anyway, I will also be starting May with a swim.

Erica ~ I can't wait for the day where it doesn't take me an hour to swim 1/3 of what your doing!!

Hey Julie ~ how goes it girly?

Hey Michelle! how are you???? I am doing fantastic! just got a new swim suit and a new pair of goggles...in the mail and will be alll dolled  up for my first swim of this challenge!kind of a pre inspiration thing...and it worked....already in my swim bag ready for tomorrow! GO GIRLS!


Funny how little things like that can really motivate huh?!  I mentioned this in my blog but I'm going to mention here 'cuz I'm a bit stoked about it....after having my daughter I weighed 198lbs and when I weighed myself yesterday I weighed 140!!  I am soooooo excited about seeing the 130s again as they haven't made an appearance since I first joined the Army back in '94.  My neighbor keeps yelling at me because I have NO clothes that fit me so I finally gave in (I have a phobia against clothes shopping) and we are going tomorrow.  I'm actually getting a little excited about it!!  ANYWAY, one of the points I was trying to make is that I don't even have a bathing suit that fits anymore.  My pre pregnancy one fell off me when I tried it on the other day and my training suit is really sagging and let's just say, it's not a pretty site!!   Sooooo, on my list of things to buy is a stash of swimming stuff!!

That is awesome Michelle! You deserve to go shop and buy some new clothes! GO HAVE FUN! you are going to love trying on things with your new smaller size....things will fit much better! cant wait for a fashion show! congrats on the weight loss!! KIU!

Hey ladies.......looks like lots of chatting........does this mean not much swimming so far?

Better get started now on taking those pics for the assatars......this will give you a whole month to find one you like!

The boys thread is much quieter........but that is only cos we were all at the pool :-p


Oh, I thought it was because you were all comparing your d***s to see who the big dog is.

haha! you go Nicole! let them boys have it!

That may or may not be the case........couldn't possibly comment.......but if it was it was after we got our swim finished cos we love ladies assatars and need to get those swims logged!

Make sure you all have cameras available in about 30.5 days time!

if it was after the swim...hmmmmmm probably not much to measure..due to SHRINKAGE! and I swam today along with many of our gals on the team...did you?

phillybarb - 2009-05-01 6:08 PM First swim is in the books.  I swam 3100 yards in 1:20.  (I know I'm slow.)  My goal is 12 sessions, so I have 11 more to go.

Since we are introducing ourselves, my name is Barb.  I work as a case worker for adults with developmental disabilities.  I'm currently training for Eagleman 70.3 on June 14th.  After that I have two sprint tris while upping run mileage for the Philly marathon in November, which will be my first marathon. 

Hey Barb...way to get one of those sessions done and behind you! and thanks for being a coach for our disabled kids! you make it possible for kids to learn to live and work on their own...my hats off to yoU! have you been doing this long?

Yeah, I didn't get there either Cat.  Stoopid car registration.  I'm still annoyed about it!  Maybe I can get there tomorrow after Bry gets home from work.  Bah.  I am taking the kids to family swim today.  Too bad my goal isn't hours instead of yards!
