When we return to swimming.

For me, it's now going on four weeks since my last swim. We were in Turks and Caicos March 7-14 for spring break where I was doing daily open-water swims along the beach. My last swim was a 3-miler on March 13. When we got back to the U.S., we had to go into mandated 14-day quarantine so I wasn't able to get out to go to the pool before they all closed. Who knows when I'll swim again...either open-water warming up (I live in RI), or pools opening again. I am maintaining fitness with bike rides, and a run here and there. And I know I there is other 'dry land' training I could be doing. But my concern when returning to the water is injuring myself because of doing TMTS. I'm just that kind of athlete. Raise you're hand if you think you're a candidate for a TMTS injury too. Dan

  • Some counties in Oregon have opened their pools. My county and the surrounding areas have not. I am a little fed up with people. 1 month age almost everyone I saw wore masks and politely social distanced. Cases of covid went down and some counties experimented with a little freedom and suddenly I am one of about 20% of the people I see wearing a mask. Today Oregon had our largest number of cases so far and it is just going up. If everyone kept wearing a mask and social distancing we would be opening faster and making progress, instead we are going the wrong direction.
