In all seriousness, the ease at which I can 'put my back out' I wont be trying Fly either, put it down to old age or whatever but I'll stick to front crawl with a bit of backstroke thrown in
Muffin ...sorry you wont make the do but I am not sorry you wont be at the PSOF Swim Champs !!
I can fly kick (in fins), but trying to put the top half of the stroke in play somehow switches my legs into breaststroke kick- I'll have another try this evening.
I think if the IM is to be a balanced race we'll need to handicap the breast and fly refusniks, catch-up drills maybe instead?
I also think (following up something Coach B said earlier) we may need to tinker with the schedule:
100m FC: 4 races (3 heats + final) @ 2min/race = 8 mins
I've been desperately seeking a way that i can coordinate combining this and a family event i have to attend - alus it's just not feasible (it's not as though there wasn't enough advanced warning! - but family does take priority)
im gutted to not be there - should be a cracker!
word of warning - Meldy has been totting up the slights all year - me thinks there may be some retributions in order this weekend! haha
I have already been swimming twice this week in preperation.might go again today....................but I also have my excuse ready for saturday as i will be racing earlier in the afternoon cross country so will not have any energy left
I had a dream the other night that we were at the swim gala and I was swimming naked.no one else was........just me.........not sure what that was all about

400m FC: 4 races (3 heats + final) @ 8min/race = 32 mins
100 IM: 4 races @ 4min/race = 16 mins
150 relay 3mins
Gives a total of 59 minutes of swimming. My estimates on time may be a wee bit out, but possibly just do the 400s on a 'best time' basis?
I leave you guys for a little while, head back in to wish you all a great drunken mess of a party at the weekend, and what do I see...
swim stats and race time predictions
Jeeeezzz

Seren - this is the pirates, we don't need any excuses for being bad at swimming, thats what we do.
400m in 8 mins - hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa
rested my swimming today and did some yoga........will polish up my pullbuoy specially for the event
Is that a euphemism?
LOL It would be 'pullbuoyo' surely!!
Siggy, the Welshers are soooo gonna burn you if you set foot over the border
Gutted to be missing the swim gala. Hey ho, maybe next time.
there re going to be a few welshies there
Is it? Tidy!
There's lovely, now!
Sure there will be tales after this. The Magnificent Severn, Haverford West was won, Dai Hard,
Wonder if anyone will be Cwmando in the pool.
I'll get me sheepskin jacket
Passes Dusty his stetson to go with his coat!

That would be some trick Seren, maybe you're The Wizard of Oswestry. Boom boom
