2000 yards I did the early am LA Fitness swim today. There was a senior citizen lady slapping laps in a lane next to me. For most of my workout, we went about the same pace. I would be faster on the straight swimming, I think she did good rapid turns and caught some time … Continue reading The wet truth

My aquatic endeavors explained…
2000m I swam today, the only time this week. I was in a lane next to an older lady, who while out of the pool seemed like she was going slow. But once I swam next to her, I was challenged to keep up doing my 40 touches to the other side. I don't need … Continue reading slow mile
2000m No specific intervals or sets, this 40 laps means my lungs felt better than Wednesday. I used different older, scratched goggles because the eye socket suckers had given me a mild headache last time around. These were forgiving! I know swimming helps by giving me aerobic training and will tone parts of my body … Continue reading More of that we call wet
2000m. After I drop John, it's kinda too early to hit the office, so I've incorporated swimming at the LA Fitness that lies between John's school and the office. I don't have the Swim Planner App on my phone anymore, so I just get in, swim 40 touches tot he other side and I'm done. … Continue reading Swim reluctance
I've done this race ight times in twelve years, not verified, but that's what I think I have in my bag of experiences going into this year's "World Championships of Jupiter." Many of those years were spent chasing Rick Opton down on the bike, trying to transition faster than him to outrun him in a … Continue reading Loggerhead Triathlon 2012
Today Linda and George created a holiday workout largely aimed at allowing beginners to practice a triathlon on some of the same grounds as next month's Loggerhead Triathlon. We met at 8am to swim the full course of 3/8 mi. The water was warm, calm and clear. I finished the swim in 10:20, probably behind … Continue reading Phony Loggerhead
2000m It's getting easier to just hop in the LA Fitness pool and tick off a mile. Sometimes I feel like I go in stagger step pulls, like I'm accelerating then I slow then I accelerate again. The pool area was very warm today, dark in one corner because I think some lights are burnt … Continue reading Another lunch mile
2000m A quick LAF visit, swim the laps and dry off for work again. I tried to concentrate on keeping my arms long and using more breath to get out of the swim slow rut.
2000m Good thing today's swim was LA Fitness instead of an outdoor pool. Driving John to school, we went through a patch of hail and lightning. I made easy work of the swim, hopped in and pushed thru 40 laps. I kept reminding myself that swimming is a problem because I don't treat it like … Continue reading Hail swimming
I really appreciated the Saturday vs Sunday race date and the WPB proximity to home. On Friday night I dropped my bike off and with Sal & Suzanne's help, wrapped it up nicely to ward off the rain. We also did Char and Rick Luise's bike. I parked at Datura lot for the $5 all … Continue reading Motivation Man Olympic tri
