aquagirl - 2009-05-21 9:10 AM No swimmy today....ran a wee half mary as a training run instead! Which made me happy. Cause i love to run. 
Now if i could only feel the same way about swimming I would be getting somewhere......... 

Wow wish I could just do that for running.... alas I feel like running how you feel about swimming


Cat if we were to meld together we would have 2/3 of a pretty fine triathlete......perhaps  KathyG will meld with us for the cyclist portion!! Then we will all be blissfully happy!!

hehe well I LOVE to ride... I can swim because Ive done it all my life but if you gave me a choice I would be on my bike...

Then again if I got to hang out with you and KathyG that would be an awesome triathlon team!

Did my OWS this evening, 1200 yds kinda short, but there were big waves and lots of wind. I am sooo glad I can breath on both sides, even when I was facing away from the wind the waves sometimes broke over my head, that was a little disconcerting! Trying to practice sighting and not lose my rhythm. Hard but fun!

Easy swimmy for me today.  Still in recovery mode so I did all the boring technique work.  I'm patiently waiting for Memorial Day so the outdoor pools will be open.  It was 80 degrees today.  It broke my heart to have to swim indoors.  If only it weren't illegal to swim in all the ponds/lakes around here...

Keep up the good work, ladies!  Only 11 more days until we get to see some manly assatars!

race is on girls - looks as the boys are trying to catch us

and try as they may.......time for us gals to find our swim jiggy - swim mojos - swim gills and swim swim swim!

I am at 72% with  my swim and will go again tomorrow and maybe doing an ows with my dd this weekend. Have a great day/Friday/weekend! GOOOOOO GIRLS SWIIIIIIIIIM! SWIIIIIIIIIIIM! SWIIIIIIIIIIM!

WARNING: on Monday or Tuesday..I will put up a spreadsheet as to where we are in our percentages in our swims...

so this is your fair warning...if you are on the low end in your swims...time to go swimming so that you do not end up at the bottom of the spreadsheet - although we do understand if you have been ill or have had some family issues....lets go girls!

I think we should all bike

I put reasons I like to ride in my blog today. One is that it doesn't hurt like running does. Another thought to add is biking isn't as frustrating as swimming is.

I think we should have a RAAM team skip the tri team thing..go straight for the big daddy of bike racing

I'll swim tomorrow..today long run and yesterday was long bike...legs are tired.

I do swim in it! Makes me faster.   I got it on Ebay last year for $6!  It's not his real signature....   But everyone seems to think it is.  After I bought it I tried to get one for my friend and the guy had upped the price on all the caps to $50!!!!

Um yes.  LOTS of friends wanted it.  I need to get another one, cause it's gone kinda moldy.  Sorta like Michael I suppose.
