1/4mi/10 mi./3 mi. A good outing on a wet course. My swim was a mess of bumping into people and learning the lesson that being better than most of the people will help me avoid that in the future. This should have been much easier to do in a 1/4 mi straight line! Biking … Continue reading Multirace Tradewinds Tri

My aquatic endeavors explained…
mini tri. It was raining at home, dry at the TRS store as I drove by, and pouring on A1A. I found doused Charlotte first, she was turning around and heading back to her car and home. Then Walter, who pressed on to finish 16 in the now cool air. The training tri was supposed … Continue reading Stealthman 2
2000 yards. The schools and day camps are back, so less swim lanes. I feel better with knowing my arm stroke gathers resistance and feels like it's contributing more to speed than just exertion. I swam next to Walter for half of my workout, then the fast local masters swim guy did laps two lanes … Continue reading In the summer mix of it all
2000 yards. When I swim alone, the LA Fitness option is a better choice. I am in and done quicker, plus I can stop and get something to eat if I want. I felt a good speed increase when my arm pull was something I concentrated on like a rythym. Here's what I did, substituting … Continue reading Closer and better solo
2000 yards. It's such a stress relief to get in the pool at lunch and swim. Walter came with me, the summer camps have started again, so kids were everywhere. I also saw Dave Lill in the shower room, he was in good shape and I should've asked him for use of the pressure sprayer. … Continue reading Another nice sunny swim
This first event at Coral Cove park was a great upgrade on the Running Sports holiday weekend. We based our bikes on our cars as a transition, we had volunteers that helped with water, and timing the athletes. I swam with Austin and chose to ride my mountain bike so as not to be tempted … Continue reading StealthMan
2000 yards. John had off early from school today, so I picked him up with Walter in the car and we went to the pool. He got dressed to swim, but never went in the water, saying it was too cold. I did this workout, under a very hot sun. 8 Warmup Set (400y) 2 … Continue reading New guest appearance
2000 yards As I do more 100s and 200s, I see the rotation during the stroke, I hold my breathe til the very last minute, it's working. It helps to be swimming at LA Fitness with the new lights installed, too! Warmup Set (200y) 8 x 25 build @ 0:40 Main Set (1600y) 4 x … Continue reading It gets easier when you do it right
2000 yards. They have changed the lights at LA Fitness finally! The guys were there installing the new fixtures. I asked if they were "green" energy saving or whatever, they said no. They said the humidity and stale air in the pool area kills the ballast and electrical components in the light kits. Oh well, … Continue reading Shine under the lights.
2000 yards In LA Fitness, there are four lap lanes, dimly lit. But only one lane rope. I get there and usually don't have a problem swimming, until the older patrons come and want to wade around the pool at the far end, walking into the lane I use and trying to get themselves clear … Continue reading The weird lanes
