Yeah, I swam twice, but it wasn't much of a swim during either one.

A.M. splasharound:

200 Free
200 Free Pull
200 IM Drill
200 Blah (lots of dolphin diving, whale jumping, sitting on the bottom for long periods)

----------------------
800 Yards w/ lots of talking to others.

=============================

P.M. Swim, since I'm at the Y anyway for my daughter's lessons, and I used this to "stretch out" my muscles from my strenuous work at work. It's not fun tapering when you have a physical job for your career. You think you're doing everything right in the pool, and then your work screws you all up. Oh well, when the first event starts on Saturday A.M. this weekend, I'll be ready!

Got this one straight from KNelson:

Warmup/Main all in one



22 x 75 Free
  • 1-12 @ 1:10 (held :53-:55s)
  • 13-16 @ 1:05 (held :55s)
  • 17-21 @ 1:00 (brought back down to :53s)
  • 22 @ 1:00 FLY (did a good solid effort going a :48)
150 EZ and out

------------------------
1800 Yards (2600 Yards for the day)

This swim left me feeling good, and I figure I'll swim about 1500 tomorrow, then Friday morning will shave and travel up to Kelowna to meet the rest of my group (they're heading up Thursday. Hopefully I'll be able to see the two guys we have swimming the 1500, they're in the first couple heats, but I should make it. I'm sure I'll see KNelson's Canadian beat down in the final heat! He's got a race on his hands for sure though!

    Thanks! The heat sheet has been posted online as well at www.cmsc2012.ca
    Online results should be posted semi-LIVE throughout the weekend as well.

    Or you can just wait for the blog to follow.

    These days, I wait for the random vulgarity that follows the blog.

    Hopefully I'm the one handing out the beat down rather than receiving it!

    See you on Friday.

    Here's some info about Friday that my coach sent this morning:

    The 1500 is the first event on Friday, will be single-laned, with the men and women in separate pools. As a result, there will be no warm up pool during this time. A 'short' break will be taken between heats 3 & 4 to allow those swimming in later heats another chance to warm-up. Furthermore, another break will be taken upon completion of the 1500 for about 30 minutes prior to the start of event 3. Using two pools will obviously speed things up quite a bit, so I didn't want anyone to be unaware of this fact and miss their race or relay.

    Good luck and looking forward to meeting you, KNelson, and your teammates!

    Thanks for the info Barry! My teammates who will be in the 1500 are probably already almost up there right now. I'll be joining them tomorrow.

    Kirk...with this new news about the 1500s, I'll try to make it up to see you, but don't wait for me if your heat is called!
