Abbreviations for Weekly, Monthly and Yearly Yardage
The abbreveations for weekly, monthly and yearly totals are thus:
WTD-week to date
MTD-month to date
YTD-year to date
I will try and use these abbreviations during the course of this log.

I sent an email to DeaAnn Joslin this morning telling her about the swimming opportunities here in Santa Rosa. It seems that the Petaluma High School pool is on the fritz again. The pool is having water supply issues, so I invited all Petalumans that are affiliated with DeaAnn swimming groups to swim in Santa Rosa.
Swimming this morning at Ridgway, it seemed to be a rather lightly attended, probably due to the fact that many swam the New Years Day Challenge. We(John Morales, led the workout as it seems he usually does on Saturday mornings) mostly did a kicking workout.
300 yard warm up
3x200 kick on 4 minutes
100ez
3x150 kick on 3 minutes
100ez
3x100 kick on 2 minutes
100ez
3x50 kick on 3 minutes, descending
200ez warm down
2300 yards
YTD 8500

Happy New Year
Wow, there are so many people on deck, just getting in as I walk into the pool area and ante up plus a tip for the lifeguard! I estimate that there are 35, upwards to 40 swimmers and the goal is to complete as many 100 yard intervals on 1:30. Now I am now clear as to exactly how much time is alloted, but it would take 2,5 hours to complete 100x100 on 1:30. I found a lane with Frank, Gail, that other guy and Fred joined us soon thereafter. I swam for about 2000 and then swam on pace for the next 1400. I then continued on a 1:30 pace for the next 2600 and then finished with about 200 warm down. It looks like a total of 6200 yards for New Years Day. We met at J and E. Morales for a wonderful brunch and get together after. Great way to start the New Year. I need to check out the USMS distance log, although I usually keep a fairly accurate web log when possible.

Looking Ahead
I look to swim with someone at noon today. I did an ez 1000 and 2km row at Y this morning.
Tomorrow, December 31, there is a "blue moon" and there is a virtual rowing challenge.
Minimum distance is 5 kilometers and it must be done twice, because a blue moon supposedly is the full moon appearing a second time in a calendar month. Hurrah!
I did make it to the noon swim at Ridgway, but I did not swim with Dave, John et al. I stayed away and swam some distance back/breast.
500 ez free
10x200 alternate back and breast 200s
100 ez warm down
3600 swim
2631 row
It looks as though I might start keeping more detailed yardage/meters totals. I am going to try to task myself logging yardage at the USMS tracking site as I already keep an accurate track of my rowing with the Concept2 log card. I think that I will try and use the 17th Man's method of keeping a running total of daily, weekly, monthly and annual yard/meters swam.

EZ 3K
Tht pretty much says it, I swam 3000 yards. Straight. No stops and I did flip turns except first 6 laps. No time, no clock, just swim freestyle. Done.
The Tamalpais Masters, TAM, are administrating two postal swims this season. They are hosting their annual Jon Steiner Memorial 1650 postal swim as well as being host for the USMS 1 hour postal swim. I look forward to participating in both events again this season.
I hope to see many of my Santa Rosa Masters teammates swim these events too. I think there were many participants for the 1650 from SRM and I hope to see many more this season. I am almost always available for timing.

Year End Update
Thank you for bearing with me during the absence of new content to the blog. It seems that things have quieted down somewhat on the swimming news and stuff. I am returning to the blog simply to keep track of my efforts and thoughts for the upcoming season. I will only report on the happenings of the day, and I will continue to strive for accuracy and originality in reporting on the new season.
We all look forward to beginning New Year, 2010, with the annual Santa Rosa all comers 2 hour swim. What is our goal this year, 100x100s, or 100s on ? intervals, or something different. Morales has extended an invite for brunch after. I think the majority of competitive swimmers are looking forward to February and the USF meet, I am. The SF Quadrathon is in January, I probably should do it this year, no excuses.
Today is Monday and Finley is where I swim in the morning.
