As I crawled back into the pool today fat and out of shape, I wondered: Don't sprinters need some minimal aerobic work? I see that Ande is doing none whatsoever and Paul advises not "fighting fat" in the pool. I do a lot of race pace training and cross training. But still, is just a little aerobic work called for? I can tell I don't need any for 50s, but my 100s could use a little something. I don't think I have the substantial swimming aerobic base that people like Ande have because I was out of the pool for so many years .. So I'm either taking my 100s out too slow for fear of dying or actually dying. Does aerobic work help counter this? Or do I need more lactate work such as doing 100s with huge amounts of rest?

Paul I was delayed getting off to Mexico my grand son had a setback so we were delayed on our departure.
I do wish and dream of someday getting into the pool with you to do some very fast swimming as well as aerobic, anerobic, some max Vo2, we could also throw in some lactic threshold work.
The margaritas are fine but we had to switch to beer as we ran out of margarita mix.
Fort does not dream about swimming she has nightmares. She is a sickly one for sure.
The trick is to balance the margaritas while swimming and not to add chlorinated water.
The sun is important when yoiu want to know where you are going. I hate to walk at night after drinking a few giant Margaritas, I have got lost on my way home.

I would stay out of Wendy's you never know who you will run into.
George, Mel & I have a few questions.
1) Is walking 5 miles with a margarita an aerobic or anaerobic exercise?
2) Do you switch hands to keep "balance" in your strokes when going back into the pool? or is a snorkel better?
3) How does an intense sunburn play into everything? Does this warrant a "recovery" day or do you push through?
4) Do you think there is any possible that (s)he is overtrained given the amount of time she spends on her glamour shots?
5) can Fortress really have as many ailments as she discusses here and on facebook or is she simply trying to lull us all into thinking she isn't 'tough'?
6) Was it really members of Kevin Doak's Gallup New Mexico fan club that accosted me at a Wendy's last Thursday or a figment of my imagination?
