Hi!
Well, it was fun. I ended up spinning my wheels in the 50Br with a 32.11, a 1:07 in the 100IM, a 2:37 in the 200IM and I finished my fly with a 27.97 (that almost beat my time 12 years ago when I trained an average of 3000yds). Our state meet in in mid-April and I intend to train more. The worst feeling in the world was when I got out of the pool. I recently had a calcium scoring test (CT Scan that measures calcium plaque) and I've got to go in Thursday because the results were bad. It wasn't a surprise to me but it still forces some issues. First, my diet will change and I should force myself to exercise more. I hope everyone over 35, who has a history of CHD gets this $200 test, it can tell you a lot, not everything (soft plaque evades the CT Scan) but a lot.
I really think the techpaddles made-up for a lot of yardage I didn't do but it didn't make-up for the pain I felt after each swim. So more yardage. Got to go, God Bless, Coach T.
Tomtopo,
I'm so glad you are being proactive and taking charge of your health. Sometimes it takes a reality check to make us realize that your health is truly one of the most important things in life. I have watched my mom go through so much pain and misery with all of her health problems. Most were out of her control...but, some could be prevented or improved with diet and exercise -heart disease and osteoporosis. It has made me much more conscious of doing all that I can to prevent these problems in the future.
