2Swim4Life - Sign Up Officially!!!

[kitty cat]

my first session back to day washorrid, it was mainly fly , its the first time my arms ache and it was weird staying in longer than half an hour!!!!

Last year after a summer of heavy training, my shoulders were absolutely shot and I ended taking 2 months out of the water. This year they've coped very well (admittedly on a lot less open water training), I still don't understand why - I was expecting to be in a lot of discomfort now after 2 attempts at the channel relay and 18 miles of the 2swim4life event, but am now back into full blown normal training without any issues.

Long may it last!! Training for next year starts now!

I sure you'll all agree that it's about time this thread is allowed to slip into the archives.

Chris, would you mind un-sticking the sticky?

Cheers

Very interesting, this injury thing. Runners never really talk about anything else. A few posters on this forum have talked about experiencing shoulder problems that were preventing them from doing what they wanted to do and then, gradually, it seemed to go away. Mine got better when I started breathing to the "wrong" side on Free after 45 years of breathing only to the left. Another thing that seemed to help was ditching the kick board.

Ii really do think that avoiding big mileage increases, too fast and rotating the unavoidable pressure on the shoulders are the preventative answer.

Has the raffle been drawn yet?

I want to know who won the Green and Black's chocolate so I know who to be jealous of.

[Stewpot]

We've only sold a couple of hundred tickets, (obviously goods odds for those that have bought some so far) so thought it best to hold off until the Action Duchenne Conference at the end of this month.

I'll post up all the winning numbers by the end of the month.

Sorry for the delay.

Cheers

Sorry, I thought you had said earlier that it had already been posted. Did you get my cheque?

[Stewpot]

Ah yes my bad, sorry. I knew I had to do something

I have a couple of certs to send out along with all of the tick sheets the length counters used (Just as an extra momento).

Yours Spidey, I'll send first class

Cheers

Above is a link to a 24 hour pool swim in Austria, that I came across on the USMS site. Unfortunately my German never was much good. And I thought there was only ever one mad Austrian.

And this is the "results" page - by my reckoning 1390 "Runden" is 43.44 miles. But not many managed more than 773 "Runden" that makes 24.

Blame the postal system as it never arrived.

However, it is all about the charity and the less on expenses the better.

Hope this years (2011) is even more successful, and with 9999 to my name, good night and see you all tomorrow.
