Yeah, that last shot is a hoot! Looks like a beautiful spot.

Looks gorgeous.

Thanks, the ocean breeze is nonstop on the island which keeps the summer heat comfortable but it takes everything with it, like cameras

Great pics, especially that last one!

How often do you do vertical kick drills?

I did 0:15 of VK, rested 0:45, and repeated 5 times.

Have been doing them almost every w/o. I decided to give vertical kicking a try because the super fast masters sprinters do them like waterrat, and sunruh. And the fact Rich and Chris recently mentioned them in a thread just encouraged me to add them to almost every w/o. Moreover, just in the several recent months I started doing the drill, I have noticed my kick and swimming has improved in this time. Have not tested this training at a meet yet.

Spain will be12 hour days but still plenty of time for chilly ocean swimming
Only have one day between though (so1 day to take care of voucher before leaving)

Yes Sir, I will be sleeping in tomorrow for sure.

Given everything else going on, perhaps you can take a day off?

If I'm not in bed/asleep by ~10pm, then I usually won't swim the next morning. Usually I'm in bed around 8:30-9pm.

I reported it, hopefully it will be fixed.

Yea, and edit doesn't work either.

What is with the formatting on the blogs? It's impossible to actually read the workouts ... Mine is doing the same thing.

Wow, it's a great thing you were wearing shoes. That could've been even uglier.

Haha - I feel like a cheap hangover now
