Say what you will about swimming in general, but swimming is one of the most exciting sports of all time. We also have fishes here putting on an absolute show. And yet, crickets from most of Slowtwitch. All cuz the masses think these threads may not last forever and cuz they had a disagreement with the swimgods.
Get over yourselves and report on good swimming. You’re only hurting yourself.
Opened up July with a basic 33x100’s of various stuff. Tested my test set, not ready, yet…

Nobody got/appreciated my joke, did they?
I dare say I am similar to you in that my sense of humour is often misunderstood 🤣
.
I can’t believe you aren’t covering the T100 swim sessions in this thread, censorship is getting out of control.

Nobody got/appreciated my joke, did they?
I don’t think I did. I apologize. Pm me and explain ?
I got Nick’s joke.

My focus after my 4th of july camping trip is going to be building volume. Time in the pool is hard for me but trying to make it a goal to reach 10k/week. Maybe a better goal for the winter when I don’t want to go outside all day.

Just to be clear (and to admit that my joke has bombed on an epic scale), the post quoted above is an adaptation of the first post in the “This Site Is A Joke” thread.
Tuesday is…well, check my new sig!! 😂
Warmup: 8x100m on 2:30 (1:59…1:50) + 8x12.5m on 1:00 (11sec…8.5sec).
The 12.5m: 8.0sec.
Cooldown: 4x100m on 2:30 (1:51…1:45).
12.5m is a Thing! 12.5m is fun! And it’s a great warmup for tomorrow’s…well, check my new sig!! 😂
Not feeling it today, so started out very easy and just built into a manageable workout…Its funny because I feel tired in the car on the way, even think of turning around, and then once in the water all that goes away. And at some point I feel really good again, only to rinse and repeat. Could be the heat outside, I’m bouncing between 118 and 100 for the past weeks, and apparently it is going to get worse the next couple weeks too:

Thanks for explaining joke.
Doc did trigger point injections w an anti inflammatory to treat the muscle knots yesterday. I don’t intend to swim til mon- need some time for it to chill. Xoxo
I can’t stop my wrist flexing at the beginning of my catch (I can’t even feel I’m doing it). Have tried the Finis bolster and fulcrum but found them difficult to use. Has anyone got any tips? Thinking about getting some snowboard wrists guards to limit wrist movement.
Today I did a 45 minute tether swim, as I failed to get out of bed early enough to go to the 50m pool.
Tue July 2

Everything easy since I just swam on Sunday. Shoulder is a smidgen more comfortable in the recovery phase with each session.
