At the Dolphin Club

I'm squinty here from the sun, but from our living room.

The Dolphin Club

As you know, I'm a member of the Dolphin Club at the cove. It was such a beautiful day that I had to go for a swim. I swam about a half mile today.

Lake

Finished! Felt sooo good to swim this morning!

This is the four Tsunamis that just finished both the .75 mile and the 1.75 miles and we were so proud for finishing the swim! It was a gorgeous lake as it was last year, and the temperature was perfect for a distance swim! No shoulder pains, so it was gr8!

Here's Philip and me

Cold air, but warm hearts.

Getting ready

Here's Stu and Philip getting ready for this morning's swim... A bit of a chill in the air, but really exciting!

On our way

We're on our way to Lake Del Valle this morning (a bit too early to wake up at 5:30 in the morning but) to swim either/or both the 0.75 miles and the 1.50 miles, I'm a bit apprehensive about the swims because of my shoulders, but I have ice ready :) In any case, I'll report in a few hours...

In my office

Here's me working at my desk ...

IGLA Paris

Another picture from IGLA. This is not of me swimming, but rather, taking a picture of a fellow swimmer who was doing a 50m breaststroke.

IGLA in Paris

This is a picture of three Tsunamis doing the 200m freestyle. In lane 4 is Philip, putting on his goggles, in lane 5 is Mori, looking at Trent, who is in Lane 6. I wasn't too nervous about this swim, except that 200m freestyle is my worst event. It's so hard to swim without losing steam towards the end, because I end up swimming it like a sprint! But our coach gave us a great strategy, to swim 50m relaxed, 75m build, 50m fast and 25m blast! It went really well! Picture credit goes to Katie on our Synchro team
