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.

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.


My rad new suit!

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!

The Events are listed down by the arrow

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…
