Ok so I miss the NY Aqua fit spring Fling b/c of stomach virus at the weekend. I sneeze and threw out my back yeserday morning and now am staring NEM or more accurately NO-NEM in the face. I'm gonna be a bad tempered breaststroker if I can't make it to NEM. Whine, whine, whine, whine, I agreed to sore knees, sore shoulder, manky ear, brittle hair, cold water induced atrophy, blocked bugle, stinking like clorox, and looking comical doing fly. Why I gotta have lower back issues too? :'(

  • We are falling apart. I'm afraid I am leading the way. I was in great shape for Worlds and since then it has been one thing after another. I did the same thing with my back,but from coughing. I couldn't swim breaststroke or fly kick for two weeks. I already could do only limited pulling due to my shoulder. Finally I could swim full stroke again. Last Wed. was the first day I felt pain free enough to do some real breaststroke. I started slowly and was relatively pain free. I couldn't resist doing one 25 sprint. It had been so long and sprinting feels SO GOOD and my shoulders and back felt loose and it was at the end of workout. What harm could one little 25 do. Swam the 25,stroke felt a little off but I went 16 from the wall which is my in season goal time. I was feeling great. 2 hours later as I started to tighten up I didn't feel so great.Next day the Physical Therapist noted politely I shouldn't do that.1 more week kicking only,then I can do full stroke just going through the motions for a week and and then we'll see.:( :( :( :dunno: :help:
