What the hell....

[Jodi]

Does your team compete or will they compete? I'm scheduled to compete in spring.

 

[tucker01]

Yeah there is actually a meet in our home pool this weekend.

Me competing is still a ways off. The only stoke I am close on competing with would be my backstroke.

 

[Jodi]

We are moving to an indoor pool in the mornings next week because the water is too chilly in the AM. It's cold in the evening too but not as bad so we'll be swimming outside in the evenings. I can't wait, I was freezing my ass off this morning. And no, I'm not being a pussy either, the water was 67 degrees

 

[tucker01]

67 damn fuck that, the pool we are in is cool at 76 LOL

 

[Jodi]

You are lucky!

I'll be back in high 70's next week once we switch to indoor. The evenings will still suck though. They said this is the first year they are moving it to indoors. I guess normally they swim through the winter outdoors and they keep the temp in the mid to high 60's I'm so happy they decided not to do that this year.

I do like swimming outdoors though because this pool is HUGE. What I don't like about most pools that are indoors is the smell, humidity and the waves/ripples when other people swim. This pool we swim outside at is so big you don't feel that.

 

[tucker01]

Do you do short course stuff or long course stuff?

 

[Jodi]

We have both in the outdoor pool but only short course in the indoor pool

How long are your swim practices?

 

[PreMier]

how are you feeling in general(health wise)?

 

[Burner02]

wow...had to go check weather.com to see what y'alls temps are...cold in the early am/pm there?
Dang...its still gonna be near 100 during the day there...
I was hoping to get down there this summer to see how I'd like the heat...if I still want to relocate there next year....

As I mentioned in PM, when it gets closer to road trip time, will get contact info, so we can all meet up for coffee or cocktails one afternoon while I'm there?

 

[Jodi]

How long are your swim practices?

They range from 60-90 minutes.

 

[Jodi]

how are you feeling in general(health wise)?

Healthwise I feel pretty damn good Work has me stressed lately with more layoffs but I think I'll be safe through this one as well.

It's pretty chilly in the morning. It was 57 degrees on my way for swimming this morning.

Sounds good Just let me know when its happening

 

[tucker01]

They range from 60-90 minutes.

That is a pretty crazy workout if you do that in 60 mins. My stroke gets so sloppy near the end of practice.

There was a 70 year old guy on our team he did a 33 sec 50m last night. Pretty damn impressive for 70. I just hope I am still alive at 70.

 

[vortrit]

Jodi, you're swims are killing me. I have not been in awhile. I caught a cold last time I went.

My coach says my stroke doesn't seem to suffer but my speed DEFINITELY suffers. I also have a harder time with my breathing patterns.

That's crazy! Good for him. He must have been swimming all his life. My 50 meter best is 41.

Are you swimming outdoors?

 

[vortrit]

Are you swimming outdoors?

Yeah, I was. But in the winter I'll be going to an indoor pool when I start swimming again.

 

[tucker01]

Oh yeah breathing is a killer. At the end of some of these circuits I am absolutely wasted.

Yeah he was a decent swimmer back in the day. Apparently was the only Canadian to hold a national record while still in High School.

Some of the younger guys are doing 24 sec 50's I will never get there. I ain't ready to check my 50 yet.

My endurance gets killed during practice it is very frustrating.

Last night he pushed me really hard and I had to stop in the middle of my swim to catch my breath. That sucked

There is one guy that swims in the morning that is new to our team. He beats our fastest guy on the team by 10-15 seconds. I don't know his pace but damn, he is FAST!

My pace (moderate) is 49 secs per 50 meters so I'm right there with you.

 

[PreMier]

awesome gotta love the IT field lol

 

[Jodi]

What is pace on the 100m? 2:30?

No, coach expects me touching the wall under 2:00 on a 100m. I hit every time but I feel like I'm dead.

I start out good and can get there with plenty of time but as the meters pile up I barely hit it. We have to leave again on the 2:00 mark so if I touch the wall at 1:50, I only have 10 seconds rest.

 

[Jodi]

awesome gotta love the IT field lol

That's why I'm moving out of it and getting PMI certified I only have 5 more years I'll eventually be a Technical Project Manager, which is what I do now but because I don't have my PMI I can't be labeled as a true PM.

 

[Burner02]

how 'bout that...it just happened to me...tomorrow is most likely my last day of work unless they place me somewhere else in the company...
Good luck! It sucks having the 'rug pulled out from under you!

I figure either the 7th or 8th. Depending if I have a job to come back to, I'm heading out that Friday (9th). If not, and on the grace of my friend's hospitality...i may stay another couple days...

 

[Burner02]

what's PMI?

 

[Jodi]

I've already been told I am safe but I will have to watch 5 people I work with leave this week

PMI is the Institute. PMP is the certification - Project Management Professional.
