There seem to be a lot of sad injury reports out there. Is anyone well enough to come to Colonies Zones? I would ask the same question about Nationals, but it might be too early? I was just bummed to read that both Smiths are injured, Born2Fly is injured, Allen is kicking only, my twin is injured and on the comeback trail, there are a lot of sore shoulders, and Julie and Rich have back problems. To name just a few. Will anyone be healthy (besides my secret nemesis that is)? Who's coming and what events are you swimming?
P.S. Dave: The defective sauna in the deep pool is being replaced by a sauna near the warm down/rec pool. So you can always "warm up" certain body parts there if you choose. ;)
I will do my best to make it. You will be able to recognize me by visualizing a young Marlon Brando in his white t-shirt, Stellaaaaaaa! screaming mode.
This is very much what I look like, on the inside.
I actually got my lifetime bests in the 500 and the 1000 in that pool at a relatively late lifetime age: 5:15.49 and 11:09.24. On the first length of the 1000, I crashed into the wall (I tend to swim with my eyes closed, looking up when I know I've done enough strokes to reach the wall. The dive and the body suit i was wearing thru me off. The crash swelled up my wedding ring finger so badly I thought I'd get gangrene, but it did wake me up.
The other thing is that the bulkhead that separates out the two 25 yard courses in a 50 meter pool doesn't go down very far, so the line recedes under the bulkhead. That threw me off too. This year, I shall be on to such tricks!
