I plan on another 2K or so tomorrow morning and then Saturday as well. That's my plan :-) Great job. I challenge you to 3500 on your next workout. Keep it coming, and great job. I will gladly accept this challenge, but it can't be in tomorrow's workout. I simply won't have the time, unless I split it up in the day. What are the rules to this mini-challenge ;-) he he I can certain do this Saturday or Monday :-) If these terms aren't accepted, I will simply do it anyway ;-) he he Their aren't any rules. Just do a regular swim tomorow, and use this weekend for that distance challenge workout. Doing great, and keep it up. What I see, is that if we reach the 120% goal mark, just keep it coming for our own long distance goal for the month, and slightly increase your original distance to a higher value. Always push ourselves. Great job, and happy swimming. |

Member ![]() | ![]() I just finished my Thursday lunch swim and I am definitely getting faster! I always set my watch to 55 minutes and then do sets of 20. I got in 4 sets of 20 and started on a 5th! 6 lengths more! Yeh! I'm going to go log them in! Keep swimming! Hey! I was feeling tired and could have used one of those days off from work, BUT I couldn't.....Thursday is a SWIM DAY! So, my swimming is helping my work and work is helping my swimming...and such a vicious circle! Keep it up guys! Peggy |

I'll be away from the pool the next 2 days, but will have plenty of time to finish off the last 8500 yards and probably a little more. Nice job. Challenge you for 4000 on your next workout. let's all shout for 110% You're on! But, how about 7,200 total over Sat & Sunday? My weekend schedule is kind of in flux at the moment... |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well, the kids talked me into skiing tomorrow, though the snow has diminished in quality tremendously in just one week. Therefore, I'm going to skip my Friday swim. I'll get my new 10% on Wed next week. Not to worry. Here is a link to my skiing photos: Maverick Magic Edited by Shoeless 2008-02-21 3:08 PM |

I'll take 7,500 for this weekend. Thanks for stepping up, and also to help the team. You have a great weekend, and good luck. I would love for all of us to be able to reach 120% for this month if possible, only in case if D001 steps to the 120%. But 110% will do. Great job so far, and keep it going. Isn't swimming an awesome sport. It really helps the cardio base for both running and biking if you havn't noticed it. Happy training. |

I have noticed that when ever we set a high goal, and really do some mileage with swimming, it really helps everything else we do. I.e. the cardio is really kicked up a notch from swimming. Keep it going, and doing good. I challenge you for 120% this month. I know you can do it. Go Team Swimming Rock!!! |

Happy training. Well, honestly I used to loathe swimming laps! And perversely that's kind of why I started doing triathlons - because it the swimming would be really be a struggle for me. Now I'm thankful that my dislike has faded and my form is better, because swimming is the only exercise my ortho has allowed since mid-October. I've recently started some cycling on my trainer, but it's such a minimal amount that it doesn't really count as exercise. |

Awesome job, and keep it steady. One day, you will be goin 4000 straight, and that would allow you to perform an Ironman distance swim Keep at it, and let's got for 120% for the team. GO GO GO GO |

My next swim in Saturday night...Going for 2500 for sure...and over! I have got to get some runs in too....I have a 15km race in two weeks. I've really been concentrating on my breathing while swimming, so it should spill over to my running. Keep on swimming! Later Peggy |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Well after taking like a week off with no swimming I have gotten 1750 in in the last 2 days and that is 29% of my goal so now I am up to 79%. Not sure if I will get in the pool again until next week. Between school homework and 5 kids at home time is pretty tight right now. Just wanted to keep everyone updated that I am still doing my all and WILL make my goal!! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Just finished 1000M which I believe brings me to 90% of my goal. May not swim until Monday but will finish my goal then and keep going! Will update the SS at work tomorrow. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Ended up pulling 1650 in the pool tonight (workout only called for 1200, but I felt great) and I'm now at 90% of my goal! Woohoo. Two more days of swimming on the schedule, but I may try and hit the pool once this weekend if I can. Even if it is just for an easy 800 or something. Keep up the great work you guys!! ![]() |

What a blessing to come here and find out I can help my team even more, up to 110%! I was going to skip my Friday swim, since I had reached my goal, but now I won't! GO ROCKS! Hm, so if I'd raised it to 120%, would you go for the entire extra 20%? Hm. LOL Well, yeah! I hadn't anticipated the bonus swims, but I'll go for 120% anyway, just for fun. |

Okay, I'm game, but I won't hit the mark until the 29th, unless I bag out on getting firewood, and go for another bonus swim. (Actually, that sounds good!) |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I'm in for trying to reach 120% by the end of the month. I think I can pull that off by the EOM. Got another 2050 in this morning & I'm gunning for 3200 tomorrow, which would put me at 99% with a week to go. It's doable. :-) |

MotoQueen ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Okay TEAM SWIMMING ROCKS. We as a team are at 71% and should be at 76%. Hope to see a lot of swimming getting done this weekend. We have a lot who are aiming to go past the 100%. That is awesome. Let's get out there and inspire those who are lagging behind. Co-captain Mila has been under the weather big time. Give her good thought for quick healing. |
