What do you do to make sure you can get home for Thanksgiving?  How about a 4:30 am practice?  Yes, this is taken at 4:45 am... pool already filled.

I love dedication :)

PS: THIS is "filled"? You should see our pool.

I like the idea the swimmer's washing his dinner plates in the pool, so he's ready for the feast!

I though you were a dude Sprinter.

Responded Nov 29, 2009 09:08AM

Oh wow, Peter, I hope you didn't get up early for that. I would pretty pissed off if I get up early to play.

Haha, no, I am not a dude, but thanks :) (you see Glenn, I am also happy when ppl confuse me with a guy :) )

We trained hard and short...only 75 minutes though...they appreciate the play time.
I let everyone sleep in... we went 9 AM to 11 AM...

Hey Sprinter...now that is a really great picture of an elite swimmer as yourself. What I really don't understand is how you can get confused with a dude.

Sprinte by the way...are those workouts on your website correct. I almost broke my shoulder doing one of those!!!

Take care and I wish you the very best.

PS: That phrase "I love dedication" should be the Go Swim "phrase" of the year!!!

@Tomas: hehe, I am so not an elite swimmer. I didn't even made the podium at Nationals. An elite swimmer is an internationally competing, world class level swimmer.

You can get confused with a dude if your picture clearly of you and your nickname is not clearly male or female. ;)

Yes, the workouts are correct. Why did you almost break your shoulder? I doubt it was becasue of the work out. If you injure yourself it's becasue you do something wrong, not because you swim a certain workout. Which one did you swim?

Responded Dec 01, 2009 03:16PM

Sprinter...well I do think you are a world class swimmer. I even have your pictures as my computer screen!!!

As for the workouts...I was referring to the dryland excersises...maybe it was only a bad move, I did several of them so I can't tell you especifically which was the one that hurt.

Take care.

Those were some BIG PICS! I took the liberty to resize them Peter. :)

Responded Dec 01, 2009 09:21PM

STUDS! All of them!

Responded Dec 02, 2009 06:09AM

Those are standart shoulder excersises. I am very surprised you have troubles with them.
