Picture of a loopy reindeer after they have been spanked by the Evil Elves in the December swim challenge. LOL

O.K., since I have now been dubbed with the tag of 'dad,' does that make me the oldest guy on the team (43)?

Hi Amy!

I think we should make it a team goal to help you find an avatar ;-)

Kathy:

Good post. I took a TI class also and had the same issue. I could swim forever using the technique but was not nearly as fast as with the "traditional technique" so gave it up. Joining a masters group was the best thing I did to get faster on the swim. Having a coach right there telling you what to do to get better helped me a lot. Plus the fact that they kick my butt all the time! I swam for 2 weeks with a coach at the masters workouts here and dropped 22 seconds off my PR for 500 yards. Not that it was that impressive to begin with though.

Yes and when ever you get the chance to be filmed do it. Seeing what you are doing is a big help over someone telling you. Tuesday our masters group is to be filmed so looking forward to that!

Wow, am I here all alone? After the craziness that was Nibbins, I can't believe I just read all of the posts of the thread, and no one posted while I was catching up! I was planning on kicking off my month this morning, but then DS fell on the ice on the driveway yesterday, and he's all bruised up today, and not moving around much (poor litle guy--he's only 5). Soooo, I'll have to go to the pool after hubby comes home form work tonight.

D001 - 2007-12-03 11:38 AM Hm. This leads to questions, such as: 1. Is Beth "mom"? 2. Will you be getting cheesecake? 3. Where does Mila fit into the family? 4. What team am I on again?

Yikes!

D001 - 2007-12-03 12:42 PM That's it? A one word response? For FOUR questions? Oh, here's another: 5. Will BETH be getting cheesecake?

he could have made it worth at least 4 posts since there were four questions

Hey fellow RR's,

My name is Doug and I live in the mountains outside of Colorado Springs.  We're up here at 8500 feet and we've already had several snows (and there's still snow on the ground)!  Last year was my first year in the tri world and I completed 2 sprints and 2 oly's.  At my last tri (Pacific Grove) I won a slot to Alcatraz, so I really need the swim focus!!  I'm also planning on a HIM this year.

I'm a lousy swimmer, but I've come to really enjoy it.  Living up here, the closest pool is down the mountain, 15 miles away.  It can be a tough drive sometimes because of the snow, so I don't want to hear any excuses about not making it to the pool!

Well. Yeah. That's nice.... But, you're not on my team this month, either.

*sigh* OK, I'm going to go light a fire under my team now.

OK, I'll say it, but I'm putting it in invisible ink --> Nice swim, Pam!
