Oh, ladies - I'm so sorry - I was supposed to swim today, but there was a thunderstorm and the pool was closed.

I'm going to rearrange my training plan so I don't skip the swim, as tempting as it is...

What I went through to get my swim on today...my gym closed the pool for chemical problems but didn't post signs in the ladies locer room so of course I totally missed the other signs they posted.  Did 200 yards and they come in and tell me it's closed.....Came home and it started pouring but only lasted a few minutes so I went out for a little ride.  Checked on the pool...nope, still closed.  Hunted down the next closest location to swim at.

Worth the effort.  This gym has 4 designated lap lanes set apart from the water aerobics pool and the water slide/kid pool.  Was never interrupted in 3000 yards.

wow..thats some effort...just to find a swimming pool...then 3000 yards! YOU GO JUDI!

impressive indeed!

You gals have been busy in this thread!
2/12 swims done - 500 on Sunday in a race, and 1400 recovery swim today!
I'm changing plans mid-month and going from 3 -> 2 swims a week, but I'm going to still try to get at least 12 swims in...

RunningJayhawk - 2009-05-04 12:38 PM Okay. I revised my goal from 15k to 20k. I think that 15k may be too conservative of a projection. Masters starts tomorrow and I'm a wee bit nervous about how it'll go over. I think I'm in over my head. Those guys are fast...and well...I'm not.

ohhhhhhhhh how i feel your pain:

feel your pain...joined...but SKEEEAAARD to go! even the slow lanes are WAAAY TOO fast for me! I can swim laps forever...but tell me to go fast and welll doesn't seem to happen!

I survived this past weekends Asian Art Festival (worked two 15 hour days) if supervising the food vendors at the festival is work!? was a big success. We had over 160 vendors, lots of performers and performances...some funny competitions - such as mom/child look alike and there were many who were identical!!! plus many other funny acts.

It did rain...but not enough to dampen (pardon the expression) the communities spirits. we had 10 blocks of tents...one childrens section and a tiny tots train that ran thru the entire main street....will post pictures tomorrow....going to go find a good movie to watch and maybe take a nap....GOOOO GIRLS GOOOO! swim swimmmm swimmmmmy!

I am finally underway in the swim challenge. I got 1/12 done. Only half an hour and mainly drills so distance is miniscule. It's off season here so drilling it will be so I can get speedy.
Good work girls.

Got a nice almost 20 minute swim in. Man I was flying. No really.  What a recovery swim. My body is totally thanking me, plus the hot tub helped too  

 

Came home to a house that smelled of poop. Wonderful!  Urgh.

So many posts to keep up with!

Got a swim in today. They have gotten so much better now that I am banishing demons from the pool, did 1800. It's amazing how suddenly everything has started to make sense in the water, now that I can do more distance I need to work on some speed.

Have a great evening!

Happy aquagirl swims are good!

Isn't it a little cold to do ows in Canada already? Is Marianne's (mav) craziness rubbing off on you?

I did my 3rd out of 14 swims today.

Nice recovery time from race yesterday as my legs are pretty sore from hammering on the bike.

I've done two tri races (well first swim was canceled as it wasn't safe) and won hardware at both maybe I should retire for the year...LOL!

I may go ows on Wed first time in MA this year.

Im going to FINALLY get my first swim in tonight... for the record... I..am..going..to..freeze!

I have a shoulder niggle so Im going to see how it goes but Id be hoping for 1500m and to do my own workout rather than my swim buddies. Might just let him do his own thing tonight!

IVe been really slack with my swimming and while I dont need to focus on it I do need to actually do some a bit better!

I was supposed to do a swim today but life happened so I decided to switch today and tomorrows workouts.  Did you figure out what that means?  If you guessed I will be swimming tomorrow then *ding ding ding* you are correct!

Good morning,

I got my first swim in yesterday. Man I really need to be in the pool more. I will log my times in the spreadsheet at the end of the week. The math for less than an hour when swimming hours is a mess. So if it is OK I'll log it on Sat.

Everyone have a great week!!

Ugh. No one should ever have to wake up at 4:45 unless it's race day.

That was rough...but my first masters swim went well at least!! Another 2600m in the books! Huzzah!

(on a side note, I'm going to have to convert everything on the spreadsheet since I'll be bouncing between a 50m and 25yd pool).
