LAC Masters swim team will be no more as of March 20th, 2009.
This kinda sucks, because it is one week before Zones, but I am already training on my own once or twice a week. The question is, can I train hard on my own all the time, or do I need the team [...]

When I got up this morning, I didn’t think it was going to happen. I didn’t sleep well last night, which has become a little too common, slept in this morning and when I did finally get up my back was sore, so I planned on skipping practice.
Around 10am, when I finally decided [...]
I am feeling much better, probably at 90% right now.
This was my yoga-swim workout at Lifetime.
600m free warm up
4×100m back on 2:00 working on long stroke with solid kick
10×50m flutter kick on 1:30 odds down on left side back on right side, evens on back
2×50m dolphin kick on 1:30
4×100m back on 2:00 same as [...]
No swimming, no lifting, no breathing through my nose for the last 5 days. Sucks, but I think it is almost over. I think I will do what the USMS forum calls a yoga practice tomorrow. It is a swim practice that is slow and easy focusing on loosening up more than [...]
Woke up last night at 2:30am with a horrible headache, drank a glass of water, took a tylenol and went back to sleep. Woke up at 3:55am with a horrible headache, drank a glass of water and went back to sleep. Woke up at 6:00am drank a glass of water and went back [...]
I joined Lifetime again last night. It only cost $15 to be added back onto my wife’s plan, which is not what I thought it cost last time. Next month, it will be an additional $50/month for me.
This morning we left at normal time, 4:40am, to head out for a swim at Lifetime. [...]
This morning I had the day off of work. Swim practice was from 5:30am to 7am, but about half way through the coach told me that I could stay for the entire workout if I wanted to. The masters team gets the kids workout, and sometimes I can finish it, but today it [...]
Saturday, my wife and I swam in a swim meet, the first in about 4 years and the meet went very well for both of us.
I swam the 50M, 200M, 400M freestyles and the 100M backstroke. Maybe you will notice that the 100M freestyle is missing from that list. Well, my wife decided [...]
In high school, I would swim 11 times a week, two hours a workout. Now I swim 3 times a week for a little over an hour and lift 3 times a week.
During high school, I remember being tired, but I was working out over 40 hours a week. Now, I work out [...]
