Hey gang, we leave Tuesday for 18 days to "work" on a couple of back-to-back Alaskan cruises (I teach adult arts & crafts classes aboard ship.). When I was training for Nationals, I was SURE that by the time I finished Nationals, I would want to take those 18 days off from swimming to rest my shoulders and just do dryland work. But, after many bad nights of sleep in a row (heat intolerance issues at Nationals), I did a crash and burn last night (thanks to 2 Tylenol PM), and had an awesome workout at the pool. I had forgotten, after 31 years, how GOOD it felt to do a hard post-taper swim! :bliss:I feel great and started mourning the loss of pool access during my travels, until I remembered the ship's tiny indoor pool! :D I obviously won't be able to "swim", but I CAN do drills... I'm thinking the feet first scull, kicking with my hands up against the wall, egg beater kick, and, ??? For various reasons, I won't be purchasing and bringing a tether or any other eqt. besides my suit and goggles. So, if you can recommend drills based on the size of the pool, I would greatly appreciate it. Below is a photo I shot of the pool last year, while working aboard ship.
Thanks! And, happy travels to any of you who have summer travel plans, as well. :)
P.S. I don't have a laptop (or fancy phone), so I'll be off the forums during my travels- unless I pop into an internet cafe. I'll miss you guys!
Yeah no kidding! Things were quiet here since you've been gone! Alls we've managed to talk about here was training quantification and deck changing...
Or.. are you a swinger or not and getting naked on deck. See, you have to make Elaine miss the forums so she won't leave again.
