Swam 2500 this morning

I did a 100 TT off the deck to see if I could beat the nine year old girls time and I did I went 1:13 off the deck with no flip turns YIPEE!! (The nine year old girl swims 1:16)

In all seriousness I did take 11 seconds off my 400 time from three weeks ago so that is a big plus!!

Dude you swim like a fish.

Hell no.  Wear a skull cap and carry a bottle of raid too.

!:13 is fast.

i did the golf thing for the first time and my best score was a 92.  i am not sure what that means but i have pretty good idea it means i am a real slow swimmer.

unchoog,

That was a dead on sprint 100 diving in off the deack. I was gased when I got done!!

I am averaging 1:38 per 100 for normal swimming thats not super quick at all.

It is for me.  LOL.

From Michele's (DDVMM's) Facebook Page:

Oh dear.  Yes, it's wrong for you to sleep in a hotel because your wife is probably really stressed out right about now.  Plus, she'll need you to help her get the crap out of her hair.  My kids got it twice last year, so I'm all too familiar with it (the second time was the day before my first half marathon...talk about a suckfest).  If you want some been there done that advice, send a PM my way.  I'll give your wife some tips.   

Fantastic news, Michele! 

AWESOME NEWS MICHELLE!!!!

You can come have a sleep over with Shaun.  Beer, Sliders wings and playing Modern Warfare all night.

read that this morning, GREAT NEWS!!

Shaun is in college?????

4 mile tempo run today

Trying a plan on smartcoach at runnersworld to see if I want to do a half mary...if it goes well I'll sign up for it about a month out. 

Oh no!!!! That is pure hell. We went through that a couple years ago. AWFUL!!!!!  You better not leave your poor wife if you ever want to get lucky again!! Do your daughters have long hair? I feel for you Jeff - NO FUN!

X1000 Great news, glad to here it Michele.

Here's my IM nutrition plan.  Everything can be found on the course except the banana and shot bloks (which are easy to carry).  I think the Power Bar products are good (especially on the electrolyte front).  The one issue with Hammer is that it does not contain a lot of electrolytes, which can cause problems.  So people will call the plan over kill (and obviously there are lots of ways to fuel a race) but it works really well for me, so I'm not messing with it.

Pre Race

3.5 hours pre-race - 3 cups apple sauce, banana, 1 scoop whey protein & 24 oz Perform

1 hour pre-race - Power Bar

15 minutes pre-race - Gel

1:45 - 1/2 Power Bar

1 Clif Blok every other mile (caffeinated Shot Bloks for the second half of the run)

Coke as I need it after mile 20

^^^^^^^ Wow - that's a lot of gel Kelly.  But whatever works, I agree, don't go switching things up.  I just can't stomach a lot.

That's pretty quick.  We were doing 100's tonight and I have never been timed on a 100, I was 1:32-1:34 for 4 of them and that was all out.  However, I think I am one of those people that doesn't have good fast twitch muscles ... when doing short distances people will beat me, but longer distances I pass them in the pool, almost always.

Also, masters swim is really kicking into gear (and kicking my ) right now cuz there are swim meets coming up.  I really, really HATE any type of speed work and we usually do 1/2 our of yardage before the speedwork!  So I already did 1500 before I had to do a 1000 TT!
