Great Ohio River Swim

4th Annual Great Ohio River Swim takes place tomorrow morning. Going to try to make it across the Ohio River without drowning or catching a disease. Also looking forward to a dominant performance by Dan and Kip!

Recovery

After yesterday's big effort my arms needed a rest. Went for a very easy 3100 this morning trying to concentrate on technique and loosening up. Back to work on Monday so training will be shorter but hopefully a bit more intense.

Holiday Training

With some time off of work this week I spent some extra time in the pool. Around 24K in 4 days which is a pretty heavy load for me this time of year. Knocked out 8,300 today - we'll see how the body reacts for tomorrow's workout.

Great List of Marathon Swims

Freshwater Swimmer put together a fairly comprehensive list of marathon swim events. Check it out and leave a comment with any addition events that were missed.

Starting Over...

Feels like I am starting all over again. My fitness has fallen off a cliff and every workout feels horrible. I am going to try and stay consistent and keep plugging away.

Aquaphor Survey

Just finished a midseason survey for Team Aquaphor. Glad to give some feedback and do my part for the team.

Fat Rabbit Racing - No 2010 Races?

I was just checking out the Fat Rabbit Racing Website and read a sad message. The note indicated that the 2010 race schedule would be cancelled. Too bad - I always enjoyed their races and was looking forward to swimming with them in 2010.
