Dec. Swim Challenge: Carolina Curmudgeons (Page 5)

awesome job guys planning on a nice 1000+ yard swim tomorrow, thursday and saturday too hopefully. 

awesome!! that's excellent!

great work everybody. let's have a great week and get ahead now because that last week will be tough with the holidays. 

CONGRATULATIONS!   Major Milestone!  You're the Champ.

As for me --  working hard to keep up my leg of the team.  Ahead of week 4 required yardage as of this morning with 1 swim left this week.  Only 6k yards to go.

Keep it up Team!

Keep swimming everybody - and don't forget, there's a big bonus in the scoring when you hit 100%. In fact, if you hit 99%, it is as if you only swam 49.5% based on the way it is scored.

enjoy,

I got in a mega-swim today - my longest ever - 4500yds. even better, I improved by 1000yd TT time by 1 minute over only 3 weeks ago on Dec 1!!!

One more swim and I'll be all done. 

I can update the spreadsheet and post it if you want.  

I am going to try to be done this week.  I only need another 3000 yards which I should be able to do in 2 workouts.  

Awesome!! I have updated the spreadsheet through this morning and I hope to update it tomorrow before I leave town but if not, this will be the latest. Just post it to the Captain's Only thread on Monday and you can also post it here so everyone can check for mistakes.

CONGRATS!   That's AWESOME   Keep it up!

We got a STELLAR TEAM!

CONGRATULATIONS! That's AWESOME!

This month's swim challenge seems to have been one where everyone has pushed themselves to a new personal best distance or something.  Felt like I'd better do something as well.

So, my contribution to "firsts".  This morning I did 2000 yards, non-stop, ALL FLIP TURNS!  Felt really good.

Only 3050 yards left for me to finish up -- that's NO problem -- got at least 2 more, and probably 3 swims left to do this month.  Done better than I expected given the holidays and all. 

GO CURMUDGONS!!

Ugh!  I would be done with my planned swims today and yesterday, but instead I am sitting home with a 101+ fever.   Doctor ruled out strep and I had a flu shot, so hopefully it just a cold and I can get back in the pool by next week.   I only need 2 more swims, so I am not panicking yet!

I'll still post the spreadsheet,  I'll be rotting at home anyway  

Merry Christmas everyone - and Happy Holidays!! Have some great swims all I hope to get in yet another swim on Wednesday AM - they're allowing our master's group into the gym even though ti's officially closed all week

enjoy!

tkbslc - 2006-12-25 11:12 PM nice job everyone! We are all pretty close, so lets finish up the year right. I got some new jammers and goggles for christmas. Maybe they will be good for a few extra yards this week I will have to see how much of a difference the suit makes since I have been swimming in old baggy trunks. Should be much nicer I think.

jammers will make you feel like you just slice through the water.  Keep up the good work!

You'll feel like a new man in those jammers!  You'll wonder how you went so long without them!
