All of a sudden, I find myself doubting Ratty's swim credentials...

I did another hour today. What's the bonus for 2 days straight? Nothing? Bugger.

i cant spell it cause i cant do it. Only Japs and Mullion Creekers do breast stroke.

23 + 3 for a 1:35 4.5 km swim, making 6.5 km for the day.

total points 26

In tonights session we did a pyramid set
25, 50, 75, 100, 100, 75, 50, 25. each 25 metres gives you 30 seconds. Its pretty fun and intense. We did 2 runs of this then the good old 10 x 100 on 1:45. and to top it off 5 x 50 on 1 min. Needless to say i was almost KAPUT after this

Ratty, since I'm a cripple I'm not allowed to run or ride. So swim, swim, swim.

Only 6.4km for me.

What have you done Dan? Are you still able to do PMIM?

Come on spill the beans. Im thinking he must still be good for PMIM or he wouldnt be training the house down in the Mullion Creek Dam.

im not a cripple as such but im focussing on the swim ATM.

Count back

last night i only claimed 3 points but should have claimed 4 points.

27 + 4 for a 4.6 km 1:30:20 swim on my lonesome, damn boring but im feeling really natural in the water. Thats what this challange is about right?

total 31 points.

Moral of the story is don't go trail running in the dark. Hit a rock whilst running. Fracture. Bugger

In the foot?

Hey i just noticed you were the 30x30 run champion. I wont be letting you get the swim championship also.

Well you better hop into the pool ratty cause I can't ride or run for a few weeks

Another 7 points for me - total of 23 points so far

90min+ swim on Wednesday night - 4 points
65min swim this morning - 3 points

12 points last week, 3 squads this week for 4,3,4 makes 23 points so far.

31 + 2 for a cramp ridden 2 km 44 minute swim.

total 33 points

Tonight after a fatigueing (sp) day in the heat i just wanted to roll over the arms and kick the legs a bit. the first 200m i did I wasnt pushing hard but did it in 3:01. Thats only 3 seconds slower than my microman time, (although tonight i was in a gumby 25M pool), so i figure all this extra swimming is making me faster to a degree. Maybe ill do another 200M fresh on monday night at squads to see if its quicker.

yeah well done from him

9 for this week to take me to 15. Made 3 squads this week, which I don't recall doing before.

3 more for an hr yesterday and 13 points total, now i have to weed the garden, where's the benifit in that?

Cheers

mgilla

33 + 3 for a 46 minute, open water 1.96 km in a wettie.

Total 36 points.

36 + 1 point for a 25 minute, 1250m recovery swim after a 185 km ride this morning.


rule clarification please.... do i get 3 extra points or 2?

3 Points - Swims done on a 7th consecutive day. ie swim Mon - Sun every day and the Sun gets 2 points. You DO NOT also attract the 3 day swim bonus points.

Preliminary Total = 37 points.

Cameron G wrote:+ 1 point for 3 consecutive days

I read it as you can't claim the 3 day bonus then the 7 day bonus

last week i did 7 consecutive days, I claimed the 2 bonus for the mon tues wed, didnt claim anything for Thur Fri Sat, and claimed nothing for the sunday.

37 + 4 points for 4.1km 1:30 squad session.

prelim total 41.

Hah! You are smoking it!

Okay im making a call

Swimming for 7 consecutive days attracts
2 bonus for the first 3 days (mon - wed)
+ 2 more bonus for the next 3 days (thur - Sat)
+ 2 points for doing the full 7 days. (mon - Sun)

then the tally starts again.

so for me
total 33
Thread Post No 67 would have taken me to 38, 2 bonus for the 3 days, plus the 3 point for the swim
Thread Post No 68 would have taken me to 41, 2 bonus for the 7th day plus the 1 point for the swim
Thread Post No 70 would have taken me to 45, no bonus but 4 for the swim.

+ 1 point for tonights swim of 38 minutes 2km

grand total 46 points.

Damn you guys pushing me to the point where im now addicted to swimming. It def making a difference to my ability.

I'm out. Off the bike on Sunday, concussion, stitches in my temple, AC joint tear has arm in a sling for at least 2 weeks, not to mention lots of missing bark. No pool for me for the rest of the month.

Sorry to hear that Gillan. I hope you recover fast

46 + 4 for a 1:35 3.9km squad session which almost killed me. 15 x 100 on 1:55 coming in on 1:24- 1:35. then 12 x 50 on 1 min.

total points 50.
