April Fishies (SWIM CHALLENGE!)

I see someone made an April spreadsheet… join in if you want! (Set a goal # of swims, or yardage (meter-age), or TT goal… whatever… you can post workouts here if you feel like it)

2600 yds for me today, “main set” was 8 x 50 stroke. I’m still recovering from this weekend.

THE SWIM CHALLENGE FUN CONTINUES!!!

EDIT - IF YOU NEED SPREADSHEET ACCESS, PM me with your email address. Link to spreadsheet is HERE:

Sure, why not. I’m in for 50k again.

The rubber hits the road this month…enough slacking off…St. Croix is 4 weeks away and I’ve barely done 50,000m of swimming all year…put me down for 30,000m…gotta force myself to the pool…if I can get closer to 35,000m that would be nice.

Why not, I’ll start back in Wednesday or Thursday.

i’m in, for better or worse.

I’m in St.anthonys is less for 45,000 than 4 weeks away and Disney 70.3 less than 7 weeks.

3500
3 sets of 200-2x100-4x50-8x25
800 pull
6x50 pull

3500 for month 45,000 goal.
This will be the only time I will ever be ahead of Tigerchik.

Haven’t swam a lick all year. Jumped in the pool today, thought I was going to die… but I’m in for the long haul!

600free/200kick/4x50cruising
500 with paddles/250 fist drill/250 catchup
30x50 on 1:00
500 cool down
4k total

My stinking arms feel like they are going to fall off, but that’s the way it’s gotta be. Only 40 days till Memphis in May :slight_smile:

That’s pretty decent for not having been in the water for 3 months.

Wait til tomorrow I bet you’ll feel even worse…

Welcome to the ST Swim Team!!!

I will do 100 meters more than Desert Dude!

come on, challenge yourself. I remember him saying recently he’d been swimming very little lately!

I’m in. My first month doing this. Is there a spreadsheet I need to fill out?

50,000 yards for me. IM CdA in 82 days! Boise Half closer then I care to think about.

Did you know that in French, at least Quebec, it isn’t April Fools it’s April Fish? You play a joke and say Poisson d’Avril. If someone is gulible you say “you’re such a fish”

Gives another meaning to this thread. :slight_smile:

You need a google account and spreadsheet access - PM your email address to me and I can give you spreadsheet opening permission. Then, you put your name at the top of a column, put your goal in, and then enter daily yds/m

Cool!

I’m in for 60000 this month.

I had good intentions. I dove in and got about 175 yards. Bout all i could handle. Crap. Oh well, back to the drawing board. It will come.

i thought this started as a motivation to keep swimming through the winter thing, but it is now spring and races have started so…isn’t it time to get the time in on the run and bike with the exception of the swimmers?

It started a year ago because there was a running challenge, and a cycling challenge (that one was short lived though) and the fishies felt left out.

It’s winter somewhere??? I dunno. In my world it is ALWAYS swim season, except when Desert Dude tells me it is “downtime season” which lasts 10 days of my whining.

3100 scm or 3390 yds.
