Lindi - Livin' the dream :-)

As a swim numpty someone is going to have to explain the swim sets to me. I'm happy to do it over a beer on Friday evening.

Calf

Yeah I'll be up for lunch..

Thanks

Have you seen the latest weather forecast?????

Prepare to get drenched! and blown to pieces.

Big slodges of rain, strong winds, teperature low to moderate.

As long as the wind only blows uphill I can deal with getting wet.

At least they're not forecasting snow.........yet!

Some help on the abbreviations would be appreciated:
Fl = full or float?
Dr = ?
Frog-hands

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-)

I think I have worked out all the abreviations - I'm hoping all the people who haven't said they don;t understand will explain it!

Fl = full stroke
Dr = drill

Frog hands = hands flat with fingers spread, might be easier to show you!

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-)

I'm setting off soon so any last min problems give me a call, my number is on the info sheet.

See you all soon x

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-)

Just noticed I forgot to put Friday's dinner on the timetable - it's at 19.00


If you are traveling Friday evening and are going to be late phone and let us know if we should eat your dinner or try and keep it warm for you.

M...eldy

MrW 7.5 tonne will be fine, but are you sure you will be happy on the roof??



Drills?? never done 'em. will need a numpty explanation as well please!!

Iron Mike

You could always join me in the drills no thankyou section of the pool meldy? I will be doing a 1 x 4000m set, or however far i get in the time we have the pool for. Is there much point in doing specific stroke drills with no swim coach to correct you? I would say not, but not going to start that argument again.

Thanks for all the organisational work you have put in lindi-even i can't manage to balls up where i am going and at what time! Will probably forget to bring the itinerary with me all the same...

M...eldy

Mike, I have some sets to do - 3 x 750 with 2 mins recovery so I may do them, although I would like some advise on my stroke if anyone has any pointers!

Bouncing Barlist

Meldy come round to my dorm and ill show you a good stroke.

M...eldy

yes Carl but I dont think 1 x 1 and 23 hours recovery will get me to the start line ;-)

Bouncing Barlist

and?

Bouncing Barlist

your point is?

Bouncing Barlist

*** Just a thought ***

If the weather is bad there maybe low visibility, mist around the lakes etc.

Maybe worth bringing lights just in case, also helps you stand out in wet conditions.

debbo

Carl won't we be cycling above the mist?

Bouncing Barlist

Yes hopefully, just in dire wet conditions ill use a back light as a matter of course, just like to be seen.

debbo

You are mr sensible - lucky we've got you leading the cycling!

Mr D insisted on checking my bike helmet this morning after my crashes. Two huge cracks.... I suppose a new one is in order.

Bouncing Barlist

Yes definately, not worth the risk.

Bouncing Barlist

"mr sensible"... I kinda like that..

Its unusual to be referred to in those terms..

debbo

I would have called you captain sensible but Lindi might have gone in a huff!

I better get out the door to the bike shop. I saw a lovely piratey coloured helmet yesterday in the shop...

smiley lady (M.)

Have fun everyone. I'm very jealous that I will not be there. Take loads of pictures for the rest of us to look at.

Iron Mike

Right, I'm about to set off. For any of you still lurking here, i'll see you later on tonight once i have negotiated public transport.

Calf

Just a quick note to say hope you all got back ok and was a pleasure meeting 'some' of you....

A very enjoyable weekend so a big thanks to Lindi for organising...

Thou I think she could have made a better effort with the weather...I was drier in the pool on the sunday afternoon rather then the bike ride earlier in the day.
