My buddies from over at LiveSwim.net were out at SPMA Champs in Mission Viejo all weekend livestreaming the meet. They’ve made the races available online for you to watch on demand which I think is pretty cool!
You can go watch your races here!

200 Fly
50 Free vs. Brad from my team
200 Breast

I feel like crap today. I’m still hoping it’s just allergies, but I think I have a little head cold… ugh. I hit the pool in Santa Maria today in hopes of burning it out of my head. I felt pretty good while swimming but as soon as I got back in the truck to go back to work I re-stuffed up.

In other, better, news… my buddies from LiveSwim.net were out at the meet this weekend filming. Chris and the guys are still processing video but a lot of it is available online already. They should be all the way done by Wednesday night.
You can check out your swims from the meet (minus the 1650) here, below is my 100 yard freestyle which was my best race of the day!
The guys at LiveSwim.net have finished processing the Long Beach meet and have it all posted on the net, go check out your races at grunions.liveswim.net!
Here’s my last event of the meet, the 100m fly… watch for the rad underwater shot!
Thank you again to LiveSwim.net for filming the meet! As of right at this moment, they have video posted through about the 50m freestyle on Saturday night. The rest of the events should be posted within a day or two at grunions.liveswim.net!
I’m coming down from all the excitement of swimming in Long Beach this weekend. This morning I hurt all over and I was kinda prickly, ewww. At least it was just the arms… I’m really not excited about the prospect of leg shaving if/when the techsuits officially get the boot from Masters!
This evening I decided that I should do an easy workout just to cool down from the meet. I drove out to Pismo around 8pm and put in 1500 yards in the pool, nothing too exciting, I just needed to go out and move my body.
400 free
100 drill
4 x 100 IM Order
4 x 50 IM Order
4 x 25 IM Order
300 cool down
1500 yards total
As an added bonus I got a new suit today! Dolfin sent me one of their super fun drag suits, I totally dig it. It’s going in the workout suit rotation with my Vegas Themed TYR suit. I also got some extra pictures via email from the meet from my friends the McGinleys! I put them up on my Facebook page if you want to check them out.
A quick reminder for those of you that swam this weekend in Long Beach, LiveSwim.net is busy cutting and posting video to the web at grunions.liveswim.net. It’s going to take a few days and a lot of work to parse through it all. If you want to get your swims sent to you on a CD you can still become a sponsor of the event for $25. I really like what Chris and his guys are doing for local masters swimming and I know he really appreciates any support he can get from us!
SPMA’s championship meet is slated to get underway at approximately 9am this morning. The meet will be livestreamed all weekend by LiveSwim.net. Most of today’s coverage will be from one camera, starting around 3pm today and through the rest of the weekend we should have multicamera coverage.
I embedded the stream above, or you can go to grunions.liveswim.net and watch it there!
**UPDATE: Swimming is done for the day… I replaced the player with a picture so you don’t have to listen to static on the home page. Click the picture to get the stream Saturday morning at 9am!
Psych Sheets for this weekend are up! Go see where you stack up!
2009 SPMA SCM Championships Psych Sheets
In other SPMA Championship excitement LiveSwim.net is going to be livestreaming the event and providing on demand video afterwards!!! Check out grunions.liveswim.net for more details.
LiveSwim.net was out at Pierce College shooting video yesterday for the Turkey Shoot SCM Meet. I really dig it when these guys come out because it gives everybody a chance to see themselves swim. The on demand video is still being populated as of this moment so not everything is online just yet, but a good majority of the meet is available now.
I dropped my 50m fly in below… mainly because I don’t want you all to watch me get smoked in the 100m fly :) …anyways, I’m the large bald guy in lane 4 for the 50m below.
So if you swam the meet go check for video of yourself swimming here!
LiveSwim also video-taped the pool dedication at the beginning of the meet, check it out below…
Yesterday’s SCM meet hosted by the Santa Clarita Masters was livestreamed by LiveSwim.net which was pretty awesome… what makes it even better is that they have uploaded all that video to be watched again online!
Click here to search through yesterday’s events for the races you swam. It’s organized by event # and then by heat #. Chris and his guys did an excellent job out there, and if you want to you can purchase DVD’s of your swims (more details on that here).
Here’s video of my 50m free. Lane 8 is the lane closest to the camera, I’m in Lane 3 and my buddy Tony from the SCAQ blog is in Lane 6.
