In another thread someone was mentioning getting out of practice early because they weren't doing well. When, or why, have you gotten out early?
I'll start:
(1) Kicked in the face (really hard, big owies!)
(2) Kicked in the shoulder (by big guy 6'4" 200#s, I call him husband!)
(3) Decided to swim with aforementioned husband immediately after putting to sleep 14 year old black Lab. We thought it would take our minds off of MacGuire. All I discovered was that I can't swim and cry at the same time.
(4) Bad back- more owies. Good chiropractor- all better.
And I SHOULD have got out (Jan 2001) when:
I swam the whole workout, with good effort, and was shivering cold. I told my husband that I was really cold and he replied, "Maybe you should swim some more (tonight)." I said, "Nah, we're done, I'm getting out." That night I went to the ER and was diagnosed with viral meningitis! Nope, he still hasn't lived THAT one down :p

Hey Rich....Try to swim it without emphasising the kick. Just work on the chest press and undulation and let the legs just follow the motion. You'll be surprised how much easier it is and your back will thank you.
Haha I do usually Floyd...this was at NEM when I was trying to work in the kick and impress Some_Girl. My back was not 100% to start with and something went *click* I'm locked up a bit but I'll get PT tonight and be OK tomorrow.
Thanks for you concern though...I'm all arms and shoulders on Fly.
