:applaud: Good job, 'Fly! Give yourself another 100, at least. :bump: Hey, 'Fly, are you going to Mesa? I can't rememeber what you wrote in a past PM and I don't know your last name to look you up. I hope you're going! :) Not this year - I'm not swimming fast enough to be worth it to me - if that makes sense? Maybe I'll do Nationals next year...400IM debut perhaps?....we'll see....

I must be the only crazy one to travel across country to swim four events- and be seeded almost at the bottom in three of them. :blush: Sorry you won't be there, 'Fly! LCM Nats. in Auburn, perhaps???

So perhaps only a score 500, but I think it deserves more. :applaud: Good job, 'Fly! Give yourself another 100, at least. :bump: Hey, 'Fly, are you going to Mesa? I can't rememeber what you wrote in a past PM and I don't know your last name to look you up. I hope you're going! :)

This one started in the locker room...... I get there and there's a lady already in her swimsuit chatting to her friend in the locker room. I change into my suit and we actually get on the poolside at the same time. I swim 500 yards while they continue their conversation. I swim 6 x 100 IMs while they do 4 single 25s. Then I hit the fly so start concentrating on my own workout :D So perhaps only a score 500, but I think it deserves more.

At my SCM Meet warmup I scored a +200 on the whole field...at least that was when the 2nd person entered the water for warmups after me. :banana::banana:

Scored a -400 this morning... :) That's how good I was feeling about swimming today. I just stood there on the deck and watched the others all swim back and forth for a while. After I finally dove in, I didn't have much pep in my step to get anything accomplished. Oh well. Tomorrow's another day. :bed:

Come down to Town North Y - the water had to be close to 88 today - you will never worry about a drop in the water temp again. Main set today was 18 100's - not a good day for hot water. 'tis a bit far for me :) And I do prefer it cooler to hotter :) The pool temp still seems on the cool side, but great once you get going - there's always that little brr moment when you first get in, but the brr lasted longer today - all the way to the other end of the pool in fact. Back to the game though, today's score is 300 from when I first noticed green hat guy, by which time he was at the other end of the pool with his hat on doing some stretches, so I missed the opportunity to count as he walked the length of the pool and put his hat on. I was doing the tail end of 50s fly followed by an IM drill set, so it wasn't 300 continuous swim. And I got an extra 50 in in the time between him entering the pool and starting his workout. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I was able to play today. My husband is out of town so no age group practices for me. So I swam during open swim at the pool. With one guy I got in 235 yards. With another I got in 425 yards. He took his time, stretched and then sat on the edge of the pool before getting in. At the end of the workout we started talking and it turns out he's a friend of one of my coaches. I tried to talk to him in to coming to our practices (my coach is working on him as well). He is a good swimmer!

I swim with our city's 1st team here in Germany, and can't get much higher than 50 points. Tried it several times. These kids are serious. It would be a differnt story if I went back and swam with the seniors.

Big fat zero here :( In fact it was me that sat on the side for a minute or 2 coming to terms with the drop in the water temp.....maybe it was just warmer on deck?

I got maybe 100 points today. Oh well, can't win em all. I have kind of a different outlook. In our workouts, the coach is always there early and a lot of people get to the pool early and start the warm up. Since there is no "i" in team, I take the position that I get to count any yards that the people in my lane (teammates) have completed before I get in. I don't double count - but count the maximum yards completed by someone in my lane before I get in. Today, I got to workout a little early so I was only +300 yards.

950 points for me today. I'm even choosing a different person every time, rather than just being a repeat offender... I think it helps that I swim at 5:00am...when most people are coming to the pool not exactly ready and willing. :applaud:

Today's not over yet...always an evening lap swim at some overheated YMCA somewhere! :afraid: You're sure to score a lot of points there, especially if there is an evening noodling class! :rolleyes:

Well you outscored me 325-0 since I did not swim today. Today's not over yet...always an evening lap swim at some overheated YMCA somewhere! :afraid:

This morning I got a high score of 1200!! (and that's without using any score doubling methods). The one swimmer had Monday-morning-itus:cane:, and she just didn't want to get in the pool today!! :applaud: That's good for me. I could have scored even more if I would have jumped in and started swimming right away also, but I sat there for a couple of minutes too. :) :ohyeah: :groovy::thewave: New high score to jaadams1! Please choose your prize: a) fake beer :chug: b) fake money :2cents: c) fake Canadians :canada::canada:

Thanks Elaine!! :afraid: I am married to a Salvadoreanian (El Salvador), and we are a bi-lingual family. I'm about 70% of the way there, so it may be broken spanish at times, but I still get by. Plus in my job, I'm the minority as far as spoken language, so Spanish helps me a lot. :applaud::applaud::applaud: I admire your bilingual abilities!
