Master  1832     Elgin, IL |  Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSEDHey all, don't forgt about weigh in tomorrow am!!!Swam for the first time in weeks. Shoulder is still a bit tweaked so glad I am not doing any speed work. I guess I still need more strength. Felt ok, legs felt good (I am awake kicker).Kelly - how was the swim. You said you are worse at OW, will this course help you with that? |

Use them without the wrist straps. their purpose is to help with hand position. If your hand position is wrong it tugs or comes off your hand. You learn pretty quickly what to do with your hands. Thanks, Jeff. Do use the red ones? Or did you go a size up from that? the yellow ones, see kelly's post regarding why. I am not a believer that paddles are a good way to work on strength in the pool. For working on the catch and early vertical forearm these are the best:

Extreme Veteran 3020 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED Up early for a trainer ride and will squeeze in some core later today. My husband threw my only pair of Desoto 400 mile shorts in the dryer, and they are too small now. Grr. I think I'm going to hit up some sales and score some 2010 - 2011 tri shorts. Mine are falling apart. I feel like I'm making some progress in the pool. Getting back to swimming felt rough this time around, considering I took nearly 2.5 months off. Endurance is finally there. What's everyone else doing today? |

Master 2151 Johns Creek, Georgia | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED I was up @ 4:15am, on my way to the basement with laptop, phone, water bottles, workout, and somehow my heel missed the step. Ouch, I think my tailbone landed on the top step which has that metal strip. Hurt like ^#>^#€~ I could hardly move so I crawled back to bed and will try again tonight. It was like slow motion, I bounced on a few steps, and my laptop tumbled over and over. I'm really a klutz! |
