IMers, We're Jacks & Jills of all trades
Fly back *** free
We gotta have speed but we gotta last to finish fast.
It takes strategy & conditioning.
We train equal amounts of all 4 or have a fatal flaw.
We try to make our worst stroke not so bad.
It's worked well for Ryan Michael Eric, Ariana Kirsty & Stephony

3000 IM Postal Challenge
Your mission, should you choose to accept it: swim the 3000 yard postal event as an IM and report your results here.
I went 41:23 this morning in a drag suit with no special preparation and no coffee. Is that a good time? I have no idea. :dunno:
I'm going 800 IM with you at NW Zone SCM next month, and that's it. You're crazy! :agree:

Challenge accepted! Mostly! I don't have a workout partner to write down splits, so I can't officially enter the event. I'll get splits myself at the end of each 750.

:whiteflag: It's a lot better than I expect I'll do!

Way to go Swimosaur! As for official splits and all that, I entered even though it was just me and I was sketchy on my splits. If I were claiming a time that broke a record or was at least somewhat competitive against the freestylers in my age group, then it might matter, but I did neither of those things. :) Same deal back in January when I did the One Hour Postal all backstroke :anim_coffee:

Dang, that's a long swim.
Stroke.....Cumul.Subtr.Pace...........
750 flyy - 13:29 13:29 1:47.87 per 100
750 back - 25:36 12:07 1:36.93 per 100
750 brst - 40:06 14:30 1:56.00 per 100
750 free - 50:58 10:52 1:26.93 per 100
Total - 50:58
Fly & ***, 7 spl; back 13 spl; free 15 spl. I might have done an extra 50 ***. There was not much point to swimming anything after the first 500 fly; I was just mailing it in.
But it's done!

Nice job, now we officially have 2 crazies out there! :applaud:
... after the fly, my first couple hundred backstroke was basically recovery swimming.
After the fly, my next 2250 was basically fail-to-recover swimming. I never did perk up.
"Mailing it in": Like phoning it in, only slower.
Dang, that's a long swim.

Great job! I'll admit that after the fly, my first couple hundred backstroke was basically recovery swimming.

EWWWW GROSS, I'm out.
Key RULE:
"All strokes and turns must be legal."
any one armed fly or one hand touches on *** or fly automatically, DQ the swimmer. Along with extra freestyle strokes on backstroke.
