Add 1000 for me this morning. One more workout. Won't be swimming 5K tomorrow, but I will significantly exceed my YTD yardage this month.

another 2,000m from my HIM this morning...was pretty stoked with a 27:44 split (by my watch) but in hindsight i think the swim was well short...this puts me on 48,920m for the month...i'm done

4:52:02 (again, by my watch)...tough course, but perfect conditions...my mates spotting told me i came in 9th individual OA, 12th including teams(???), i'm not so sure so will have to wait 'til the official results are posted...so yeah, pretty stoked with the result!

although i mentioned the swim may have been short, relative to the field i can definitely say i've felt an improvement thanks to these swim challenges...getting consistent pool time has been the key...gotta give props to you TC (and more recently ksweet)! :)

Hi, just checking in before the March 31st cutoff. I just made my 20,000m goal with a 3200m easy swim today. My calculation says that brings me to 20,200, but according to your tally, I'm up at 21,200....oh well, thanks for putting this on. If it was not for this I probably would have ended up down close to zero.

Okay, I finished off the month with a pretty good week of swimming to bring my total to 66750 overa total of 18 swims. Not the 75K I had originally said, but it's still the biggest month I've ever done, so that's something.

Re: march MADNESS swim challenge [ksweet863] [In reply to]	Quote \| Reply

you can close me of for the month with another 1800. Felt really dead the first little while, but did 500m in nearly a minute less than 3 weeks ago. Still a glacial 10:25 by ST standards, but a big improvement for me. More yardage this month than in my entire life.

Besides the improvement mentioned above, when we go to our session with our coach, when she tells us to to swim a 300m set or something like that, I'm not dreading it, I'm just jumping in and going. Even the beginning of this month, while I could swim it, I was dreading it. I feel so much more confident in the water.

At least until I see the times on here...:-)

Thank you for keeping track of meter-yards :)

so there's a swim meet at my school next Saturday, a master's meet and the FISHBOWL WILL BE STRUNG IN METERS! I'm trying to decide between a race (5k) that morning and the swim meet in the afternoon (can't do both). But there's some good stuff, I don't know how I'd decide what events to do. Too many fun things!

I blew it and only did 46,250 instead of the 50,000 I was supposed to do. I had a hard time getting to the pool over spring break.
