| St. Louis, MO | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards I hear ya Blizzards...only 2000 yards left for me, and that's tomorrow, cuz this girl is shutting down to fatten up at Christmas. Thanks for the inspires guys! With life as of late, all I'm doing is getting in the pool for this challenge, which is better than nothing! I'm bummed I'm not more invovled with inspires, but maybe I'll make it today! |

Master 1480 Southwest Chicago 'burbs | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards Ditto the inspires -- thanks for them and sorry I haven't been very good at reciprocating! I think I'm pretty well on track to make my goal... and this will be the most swimming I've done all year! And I think my Christmas gift to myself might very well be a session with a swimming coach. |

Master 1732 Delafield, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards Got in another 1500 today at master swim. Instructor wasn't too helpful in getting me to my goal with kicking drills and sculling it is hard to get in the yardage in the allotted time. (Sleeping late and missing the first 10 min. of class didn't help either). Adding insult to injury my instructor told me I have floppy wrists. But it was all worth it! Go Blizzards! |

Pro 3906 Libertyville, IL | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards So have I been omitted from this or do I gotta go float around and do some kick drills to keep up as much of my end o the bargain as possible?  |

| Regular 139 Quincy | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards Another 1600 for me today. If I can continue getting to the pool three times a week I;ll make it no problem. |

Master 2139 piece o heaven | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards I GOT HIGH!!!!! 2000 done and 500 to go. (19500 of 20000) Also, set my personal HIGH for a month for total yards. I am becoming a sea turtle. Quicker in water than on land! |

Elite 3489 Lakewood, CO | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards TRIDDS way to get close to your goal. Knock it off next week and build onto better things in the months to come.
I am right on track to where I "planned" to be right now. Just have to fit my schedule into the pool availability next week - easier said than done, it is closed 4 of the next 9 days. |

Master 1732 Delafield, Wisconsin | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards A little early Christmas present for me & team Blizzard. My planned 1500yds tonight turned into 2000 yards. I'm at 10,750 out of 12,000 goal. Looks like I'm going to make it! |

Expert 1092 Earth | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards I hit my goal and closed out the month today! 11250 total so far, looks like the biggest month I have ever had in the pool. I think I am going to try to add an additional 5-6K to see if I can't hit 88K for the year. Good job team! Keep those fins on. |

Master 2139 piece o heaven | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards Another gift for me! 3050 yards consecutive - another best. I should have warmed up a little and cooled off more. But just had to get to the festivities - church and party! So I have flown past the goal of 20000 and hit 22550! I would like to thank the little people, but most of all my sore knee for forcing me to compensate in training and living the life of a turtle! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! |

Expert 1135 Delano, MN | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards I've attached last weeks totals. Please double check yours to make sure the old bald guy hadn't made any mistakes (it's early, I'm swamped at work, and I haven't had any coffee yet  ) We havea good portion of the team that has finished up already  Let's keep encouraging those who have and blow this thing away!Attachments ---------------- Blizzard Swim Challenge Dec 2006.xls (78KB - 31 downloads) |

| Crystal Lake, IL | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards Uh, is it my imagination or does it seem like we have a lot of people around the 50% mark? There's going to have to be a lot of swimming in the next few days for us to come out of this on top! I had a horrible third week and have some make up to do but I'm within striking distance. I see a lot of chlorinated water in my near future. Congrats to those who have already finished! |

Expert 935 South eastern Ohio Silver member | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards Got in the kid-filled pool this morn. I forgot it was still break or I would have swam later in the day but anyway all the thrashing about made the pool feel like an OWS I did 1500 yds that brings my total to 13,400 and that is over my goal. I am still scheduled to swim one more day this week. Thanks to all of you for your inspires and it really has kept me going, knowing I didn't want to let anyone down. The shoulder is still a little tender but Ok. Every one have a great rest of the week. |

Champion 5495 Whizzzzzlandia Silver member | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards I just did another 3400 tonight. So, that puts me at 29,200/30,000 . I will finish up on Friday morning.
GO BLIZZARDS! |

Expert 819 Phoenix, AZ | Subject: RE: December Swim Challenge Midwest Blizzards I don't think i am going to quite get there. Seriously, wasn't Dec. 1st just yesterday? Last month you couldn't get me out of the pool, guess this month it wasn't as appealing. I may not hit goal, but I promise to make up some major yards this week! |
