BT Swim Challenge (Page 18)

There is no weight on your ankle while swimming...now get to the pool!!!

Back off your swimming some after the challenge is over and I bet you'll see the results from all this hard work.  Recovery, recovery, recovery!

That that double post thing sucks...there is no way to retract/delete an extra post if you goof up....  I'm blaming it on that stupid preview feature.......

But yeah...I was proud of myself....

But then I look at the swim logg for GRIFS.  That guy is a maniac!  Over 80,000 yds this month!!  YIKES!!

I had knee surgery, so I only have swimming  for this time frame. I'll get in the pool tomorrow first time since the surgery (last thursday). Should have been sooner, but I had spinal headaches for 5 days..didn't think the pressure would be a good idea. I think i''ll reach my goal, which WILL be my best ever.  I have never been consistent or consistently covering all three sports. So, my overall picture is that this challenge helped me to see some consistency in my training. Thank you!!

Renee, that Avitar kicks butt!

Got to agree with you Danny. Grifs is unbelievable.

The swim challenge has been fantastic (win or lose) no way would I have swam this much without it. Oh yea all other stats are at double from last month - but that's saying nothing as that month was a nightmare.

Yeowza.... relax sue, swim all you want! No harm, no foul, no impact on your hip!

She's swimming!!!!! duh.

Met my goal today for Team DY!K......after I lopped off a good bit of my fingertip in a gymbag packing accident (damn Mach3 razor cartridges realy do work better than single blade models.....).  I had my hand double-bagged and wrapped, & the swimming....well, it sucked. By the way, "Suck it up, buttercup!" is my 5 year old's favorite new phrase. I don't plan to miss any workouts, so all's well. Let's go Team DY!K!!  Glad  I don't have to say that out loud, like in front of other people who just don't understand...

I was not trying to induldge in trash talk when I called the guys wusses.  Sue seemed geniunely upset by the remarks regarding her over achieving on her swim goals, so I was trying to encourgae her not to take the remarks seriously.

The swim challenge has been good for me.  I'm over 16,000 yards for this month which is way more then I've done in any other month this year.  Without the challenge I probably wouldn't have swam today.  I didn't have a whole lot of time between appointments, but I was determined to get those yards in, so I made do with the time I did have.

Everyone rawks!!!

I have some suggestions which I hope the men will take to heart when they pose for their respective photos.

In the first picture, we have a nice full body shot. The lighting makes it interesting. This gets 2 thumbs up.

I really like the angle on the 2nd pic. We get to see some chest, the nicely developed back muscles (and gratuitous butt shot), legs. This is my #1 recommendation for the men to mimic their shots on although pic #1 is pretty tough to beat.

#3 and 4 are action shots. Those would provide some variety in the pic layouts.

Maybe the "Where's Waldo" theme would be good (with ladies in their respective swimwear)....like this guy.

Not impressed...I could take him.

Chalk up another goal finished for the guys!  Take your time finishing up your swims ladies.
