Pro  4507   Simpsonville, SC |  Subject: RE: Nibbs XIXArtemis - 2008-06-13 10:12 PM My strategy for tomorrow is going to be to focus on my technique and worry less about the racing. I do a lot better when I just worry about my stroke and breathing. Sounds like a good plan. What a waste of a perfectly good swim to worry about what other people are doing. I love setting goals like "will do all my flip turns" in a pool swim. Or "will stick to 3 stroke breathing" in OWS. Gives me something concrete to focus on and something purely within my control. |

I just checked the website for time and directions and now I'm getting that oh crap feeling...gotta erase that now! Go with I know I can do it... Because we had a GREAT swim last week and we're going to do it again tomorrow. Good night, Judi! I'll send you and Jen fast fish vibes while I'm in my car traveling to the redneck wedding. Yee haw. |

My breathing goal is just to breathe often enough that I don't have to stop because I get out of breath. If that makes sense. |

My breathing goal is just to breathe often enough that I don't have to stop because I get out of breath. If that makes sense. Yeah, it does. I always strive for 3 stroke breathing cuz that's what I do in training. Racing it's a bit harder to do, especially in OWS, because of all the chop and I'm usually going faster than training so I need to breathe more. The only time I have panic issues in the water is when I feel like I can't breathe. |

We're taking bets on how long this one will last. The marriage, not the wedding. Nighty night. I guess it's bedtime for me, too. Been going through BT withdrawals. Blast. Tomorrow night will be another night without computer  |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Nibbs XIX Morning Nibbs! The swim went well for both of us. I cut three minutes off my PR, so I made my goal. Even did pretty well on the breathing. Only got out of breath at the start when I was trying to keep up with the jackrabbits. Now I am ready to eat. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Pam, I can't wait to hear about the wedding. Sounds like it will be interesting to say the least. |

I did have a lovely ride today-conquered a wicked hill out in horse country (Vontay Church outside Rockville). Dude. Trying to get the homelife back to normal. My dad called today - he's home with a visiting nurse to check his vitals and change his dressings...he's doing OK but easily tired. |
