Mad Manatees Mentor Group - VERY CLOSED!!! Sorry! (Page 83)

We got new office furniture and our desks how have the ability to transform into standing workstations in like 2 seconds. Anyway, I attempted standing today. It lasted a total of 45 minutes. My legs got tired and I am now sitting. Pathetic.

I worked with a guy who had a messed up back, and a standing work station was the only way that he could work comfortably.  I'm sure it takes getting used to.  Reminds me of working as a line cook back in the day...

I've barely peeked in here for two days. Race report, SIL visit, baby pic, and stand-up desks are all a blur. 

Here's the little face that has most of my attention   ENT visit tomorrow.

I am looking for some Manatee advice for something besides tri's. I have been wanting to start my Master's degree for about the past 2 years. Situations with the ex-wife have regularly put a damper on that. Things have settled down and it looks like I can start my Masters in March. It will take me about 3-4 semesters to finish it, about 1.5-2 years. It would impact my races in that I would have to put off doing a HIM this year and probably aim for a late HIM next season. I can do it while I am still in the Army for free, I have 2.5 years left. I would be looking at doing just Oly's and sprint instead. I know I will not be as competitive as I would like as I would probably lose 2 workouts during the week.

Hi, I had an interesting session during pool class last night, and need some advice from the fish in the group.

I haven't really being doing much drills during my swimming time. I have mostly been trying to link my laps together so that I can swim without stopping to catch my breath every two lengths. Last Friday, I managed to swim 1km without stopping, and didn't feel out of breath at the end, felt I'd turned a corner.

This week, I decided I would use my swim class time to get the instructor to pick up one bad part of my stroke, and give me exercises to correct it. She watched me swim a lap and said that she can not really see any major problems (the instructor is not a Swim Coach, more a swim instructor, more geared to getting people to be able to swim than to get them to swim properly). She then suggested that we just start general drills, and that we use a pull buoy to concentrate on arm drills. This is the first time I've used the PB, and it didn't go down to well. My legs kept sinking with it, no matter where I put it. By the time I had got half way down the pool, 12-13 m, they were near 40 Degrees. I told the instructor, who couldn't work out why it was happening. I finally sussed out that I was arching my back, pushing my hips forward, causing my legs to sink. I then swam without a PB and noticed I do the same thing, but it's not as noticeable because my kicks are keeping my legs up. I think this maybe from swimming for years doing breast stroke only, and I have to learn how not to do it. The instructor was at a loss on giving me drills to do that would get me to swim with my bum up (sort of position), or a more flat body in the water, if you know what I mean. Just wondered if any of you fish have any advice/drills I could carry out. I can not put video up, not allowed to in the pool, so you'll just have to work out what I mean from my description in advance,

Cheers in advance, Darren.
