Got to swim a bit today, with a kick!! Not too much soreness afterwards. Want to be ready for a big swim block over winter break, so I’m easing the kicking back in.

HS, hope you are feeling better!!
If anyone is in the NJ-area, my group is doing 100 x 100 on Sunday: https://www.facebook.com/events/1471064576451602 We should have a nice size group as we’ve had 20-30 for the *prep *swims (did 60 x 100 on Sunday).
If anyone is interested, lemme know!!
prep swims, huh? I think if I did 100 x 100 I would just do it… I’d do some longer swims building up to it of course but not just 100s.
…and I need 61,000 meters to get to my 800,000 for the year. Started with 3250 today, so, so far so good!
Good Luck Alyie!
are you registered on the US Masters swimming FLOG (fitness log)? You would get prizes with your yardage. It is free for USMS members.
I am a USMS member and I will look into this. Thanks. (I am going to try and finish with 805,000 meters which is almost exactly 500 miles.)
500 miles = free swimsuit; look into it!
you can retroactively post yards so joining now is not a problem
You guys get suits?!?
We just get caps ( and a little pin) when we hit 100k, 250k, 500k and 1,000,000m lifetime…
Blowout during a descending hairpin turn on Saturday. Took Monday off and rolled it to Tuesday. Road rash sucks.

I’ve been logging a decent amount of volume (peaked at just over a 30km week) & as a group did (2) *preps *(50x100 & 60x100) to get comfy at the respective intervals.
I’m going to play along. I am the proverbial land animal but am trying to slowly (unfortunately, very slowly) grow some gills. Very much an adult onset swimmer with no talent but decent work ethic.
I need 59,000 yards this month to go over 500,000 yards for the third consecutive year. Doubt I’ll make it but there is a chance…
This morning, 2400 yds:
400 wu
300 kick
4 x 50 hard
100 easy
16 x 25 all out on :15 rest (~:33 send off)
8 x 50 all out on :20 rest (~1:00 send off)
4 x 100 cruise on 1:45 send off
200 easy cd

Cap at 50 miles. Last year, mesh drawstring bag at 250 miles, but they did away with that this year. Suit at 500 miles. I was motivated to get a suit until I found them at a discount store in maine for $5 apiece, and bought five of them…
Little pin sounds nice - can I register with the Canadian version of masters?
I am a USMS member and I will look into this. Thanks. (I am going to try and finish with 805,000 meters which is almost exactly 500 miles.)hey, one trick I found out is you don’t need to register every single day you can aggregate at a weekly or monthly level. That will save you a lot of time.
As for me, I am stuck in Las Vegas with a view of lots of swimming pools (from the 39th floor) that are not open at any time that I can swim. Plus none of them the right shape, they are all round or have protrusions into it… I don’t see a straight line to be made anywhere.
PS for the guys… I ordered the suit my regular size last year and it is WAY big! (I decided not to size down for a ‘race suit’ fit). This year I have decided to size down! The suits are from Nike. (Not meant as a backdroor brag… )
Las Vegas Masters Swimming has a wealth of talent if you can make it over to them.

I didn’t know we could get free stuff! Not that I need another cap… or another place to log stuff.
