Swimming Updates

Hi, I have returned to update my blog.  I will try to stay attuned and complete with keeping record of workouts and trends in swimming. 
I am entered in the Rinconada Masters Spring Meet tomorrow.  I have limited the events I am training for this season.  That is 50/100 butterfly and 50/100 freestyle.  Entered 50 and 100 butterfly and 100 freestyle. 

I will embellish open water swimming soon after short course season and attempt a cross country double in September.  I am entered in the Big Shoulders 5K Saturday September 12 and then get to San Diego and swim the LJRWS(La Jolla Rough Water Swim) on Sunday.  It is too early to book flights, but I do have accommodations booked. 

OWS tentative schedule

Early June  Berryessa
Mid June  Del Valle
Mid July  Newport Pier to Pier
August  Santa Cruise Pier
Late August  Corona del Mar
September 12  Big Shoulders

Tuesday I swam with Sara, my training partner for the long course season.  Excellent choice, we know each other well.  I think she was one of the first swimmers I got to know over the years in Santa Rosa.
