Thank you, Ahelee!
There are many wonderful USMS blogs. And all types of swimmers can be found -- sprinters, mid-D, D, freestylers, strokers, OW, etc. I urge everyone to check them out for workout ideas or training advice.
Can you recommend a good breaststroker blog? I know you don't swim the "evil stroke", but if you happen to know of a good blog... :D

We don't have an abundance of pure evilstrokers on the blogs ... But you can check out SwimStud, Karen Duggan (though it looks like she's injured :(), Swimbreast (if she decides to keep posting), and Water Rat (sprinter + breaststroker and just started blogging again). Those are the bloggers for whom, as I recall, *** is their best stroke. Patrick Brundage -- Of Swimming Bondage" -- is an IMer, can do every stroke and also posts really good workouts. And, finally, there is Ande himself, who was an All American in the 50 *** last season.

Thanks, Fort and Speedo! :chug:
...Patrick Brundage -- Of Swimming Bondage" -- is an IMer, can do every stroke and also posts really good workouts...Thanks, Fort, but, Elaine, fair warning that you should only read my blog for tips about breaststroke if you want to understand my frustrations with this stroke!
Elaine I'm not as active on the boards as before but I can always answer PMs if you have a question...I've had great breakthroughs in the last few years...I am happy to share what I think has worked for me.
Thanks Stud! And, thanks, too, PWB.

While I use the FLOG for my actual workouts and times, I then blog about my thoughts during the workout and mention some highlights of the practice. I have no idea if anyone is that interested in how much stuff some guy brings to the pool with him, or the strange looks I get from those skinny-minny gym rats, but hey it gets it out of my system and stops me boring my husband about it all!
(ahem....actually probably no-one is interested as I don't get many readers:blush:)
I just read all of your blog posts! :D What a coincidence; Moser Roth is one of my trusty companions, too! :bliss:Anyway, keep blogging 'Fly; I got a kick out of it! And, good luck with your 200 fly/ 130lb goal! :cheerleader:
