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

  • Back in the water Friday after a 10 day hiatus caused by attending a closing where someone subsequently tested positive for Covus-19. It took me 2 days to get a test and 8 days to get the results back. On the bright side, I required everyone to wear masks and use hand sanitizer and nobody else at the closing contracted the virus. Saturday, we had our July 4th workout with a 5,000 meter workout. Back to regular 3k workout today. I'm a little sore, but it is so nice to have a place to swim and a coach and lane lines and chlorine and goggles and paddles and water.
