Drug Testing in Masters Swimming

Two Margaritas and I was staggering then Chuckie asked me to finish her's. We had Coconut Shrimp for dinner and was it good.

Come on over to the penthouse suite. It's great fun :groovy: BTW, I prefer 4 Advil after 6 races in one day :) Makes me sleepy.

I'm with you on that one George! Me too. But George, I thought you were going to swim in some meets this summer!! What about the 50 fly and 50 free records? I want to see you on youtube, not just on your website!

Thanks for the feedback on Ibuprofen. It might not be the cause of my lousy practice that day, but I'm going to stick with what works. If my brain expects me to swim badly on Advil then I just might do that, so...

Jim Clemmons, do you get good results swimming with iboprofen? Reason I'm asking, one time many years ago I woke up with a knocker of a headache, who knows why. I took 2 ibuprofen and stumbled across the college campus to 6:30 am practice. Then proceeded to have one of the worst practices of my life. I was numb. Couldn't sprint. Couldn't do anything. Later I remembered the ibuprofen and realized it dulled my nervous system. Since then as a rule I will not take anything prior to swimming, no matter how much pain I'm in. Sprained ankle, sore knee, whatever... I save the ibuprofen until after swimming. Yes I do, but just one.

With Jim Clemmons admitted abuse of Red Bull,Coffee and Ibuprophen I move he be stripped of his First Place at Worlds in the 200 BR and the Gold awarded to WHO EVER was second.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: .Seriously that was a great race and one of my most memorable Worlds experiences. But since now I know your secret I'll have all Red Bull recalled in a 300 mi. radius of the meet.:rofl:

Donna, great point! Definetely a banned food. The blue muppet was unable to eat any of these, her favorite muffin, while she swam in college. After she stopped, the first food she ate was a Lemon Poppyseed Muffin. And seeing as how part of my job is to eat food, I'd be screwed by a drug test at nationals! This very product (LPS Muffin) is due to come in for sampling this week! :dedhorse: YUM!!! What the heck is your job, and how do I sign up?

Jim Be careful ibprophen is banned in horse racing, coffee also. Everyone is going to keep a close EYE on you. Thats the reason I don't enter races anymore - double shot cafe lattes, Tylenol threes, 2 x 650 mg aspirens, metformin, glyberide, plenidile, and Altace. No wonder it cost me $3000 for my health insurence when I go to Mexico. I love those Margaritas in Mexico.

As you can see by my new Avatar, my drug of choice Margaritas. I'm with you on that one George!
