That's no fun! Mmmm and when I swim during the day the speedos the old guys wear are nearly as old as the guys ![]() 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 |

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. ![]() 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! |

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! |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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!!! |

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!! ![]() 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! |

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! |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() 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! |
