    Swam Tue, Wed & Thu but didn't blog em

    On the flight home from Seattle, my son Dane read an article in Outside Magazine about
    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/030746363X?ie=UTF8&tag=ifsande-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=030746363X "]The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman by Timothy Ferriss[/ame]and decided to investigate further, yesterday he showed it to me.
    it makes some amazing claims:
    YOU WILL LEARN (in less than 30 minutes each):
    * How to lose those last 5-10 pounds (or 100+ pounds) with odd combinations of food and safe chemical cocktails.
    * How to prevent fat gain while bingeing (X-mas, holidays, weekends)
    * How to increase fat-loss 300% with a few bags of ice
    * How Tim gained 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and in four hours of total gym time
    * How to sleep 2 hours per day and feel fully rested
    * How to produce 15-minute female orgasms
    * How to triple testosterone and double sperm count
    * How to go from running 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in 12 weeks
    * How to reverse “permanent” injuries
    * How to add 150+ pounds to your lifts in 6 months
    * How to pay for a beach vacation with one hospital visit
    I looked at the chapters & read a few pages, it looks interesting & currently ranks #33 on Amazon.
    Anyone out there read it or tried it?
    Got any comments?
    I wonder if it really works?
    The chapter titled: How I Learned to Swim Effortlessly in 10 Days where he shares how he went from a struggling beginner swimmer (who could barely swim 2 lengths in a pool) to improving his technique and being able to complete a 2,500 meter open water swim.
    Hint: he learned TI & provides a nice summary

    27 days til Nats
    working on:
    losing weight,
    getting stronger in the weight room &
    faster in the pool.

    had a great time at the
    2011 South Central Zone Championships in
    San Antonio, TX. The Josh Davis Natatorium is a FAST pool. I was happy with my swims and enjoyed seeing many swimming friends.

    weights at world gym

    shifted to the SPEED PHASE
    now working on getting stronger and faster for Zones and Nats.
    I don't really think of this as tapering.
    I'll do some gentle aerobic training to maintain conditioning and some longer fast swims.
