ha you live in fishers landing?
you should wear a hat with an orange flag when you swim to that island. you might get hit by a wakeboard boat

yep fishers landing near mill plain.
I hear the boats when they're coming and usually egg beater up like a waterpolo goalie splash and thrash about till I'm seen.
figure if all else fails I'll swim down and hold my breath.
Luckily I haven't been out there when the barges come by...
don't think I could hold my breath that long.

Sounds like a very good swim. How long does it take you to complete?

Just about an hour-- If I have the lane to myself and don't have to adjust to accomidate others, etc... I can do it in about 50-55 minutes.

Thanks for the info, now I can speak 'swim'. Yeah, I have issues with hurting the shoulders occasionally, bizarre. Tends to go away fast though.

I'm still fat.

NMM. Have you ever barfed in the pool?
I've been wondering about this.
As i have started swimming, i've been doing around 1500 m. in about 30 min. Sometimes on the turns i cough stuff up. Just wonderd what happens.
Thanks.

um..........no.

I've had a few workouts/sets that left me feeling like I might barf. However.....in 15 years of competitive swimming & another 17 years of continued swim workouts......I've never actually done the deed.

(Of course.....I always swim on an empty stomach.)

[Wilbur Kookmeyer]

Um...you do everything on an empty stomach....

[Down The Line]

Well it would be a pretty bad mess. And hard to cover up!

[nm]

Yoga rocked today! Not sure what my problem was......but I stuck every balancing pose. Maybe it was the acoustic Adam Duritz in the background. Maybe it was Wednesday. Go figure....
