1:45 is a good time to shoot for the half, you should have no problem hitting that.
Harold would probably dust me if he was running this one.
Shoot, he'll probably dust me anyday.
Hows the swimming training going?
I'm teaching a 4 year old to swim. Its bringing back a lot of memories.
My mother was a
very strong competitive swimmer from when she was 14 until a little after I was born.
I remembered her using something like this to help her with arm power when she swam.
She'd isolate her kicking and would work on strength exercises using only her arms to pull herself through the water. Occasionally she'd use one of these two tools in conjunction with the foot buoy.
Every once in a while she'd band her ankles and only use her arms with no aids, too.
Woman was a beast in the water.
She expected us nothing less of us. Unfortunately my brothers and I didn't share her likeness for comeptitive swimming, but we are all very strong and very good swimmers. No fear of any water- rough, deep, or being surrounded by it here!
Its kinda funny to see how bad some people swim here in New England. But then again, they didn't swim everyday in the pools or oceans when they were growing up like I did in Florida.
