Ridgway Saturday

I am so glad that I swim in Santa Rosa. There is a good group of adult swimmers that frequent the facilities inn Santa Rosa. The group this morning was small, but I really like the diversity and comraderie that comes with swimming with an impromptu gathering of swimming enthusiasts. I started swimming and there was Deb, Michael, and Todd Wilson, then Sarah J. and Paco C. joined in and we began. Then Morales joined us, for 500 yards. Paco swam for a short time too. John is swimming at Del Valle tomorrow, Paco is a cardiac case. The workout was like this.

EZ Cruising

I dove into Finley this morning, it felt great, no adverse effects. I remember the last time I dove into Finley, it hurt. I was going to tell the p/therapist I was going to swim, but I did not. We have a routine now, it is woos, but necessary. I have not tweaked or jammed my arm for a few days. We will just let the medical community judge my malady, whether it be an acute problem or a problem brought on by use.

I swam 100 laps yesterday. It took about 40 minutes

500 kick, on back with fins

No Swim Day

I could barely get motivated in the morning, I passed on Finley and went to P/T at 0800. I have some soreness from the fall from the bike on Monday, but other than that, ok. I finally went to Ridgway and just swam. EZ,
2000 yards straight
250 kick with fins
10x25 kick with board, dolphin/free
done
I think that I can take a day off. 7 days in a row.
Oh yeah, I went to the Y before P/T. I rowed for 10 minutes, and the shoulder started to get sore the farther I would pull back. I did some pulling drills too, with no ill effect.

EZ Memorial Day Holiday Routine

That is right, and it is a nice way to swim once in a while, just relax, not too hard, just having a nice day. The sun was out, the pool was not crowded, I had a lane to myself, and I just swam.

This is Erik Sterne(me) swimming the 100 fly at the 2008 USMS Nationals in Austin Texas at the Texas Swim Center.

Watch how long I take at the 75 turn, I could have set up a campsite I took so long.

Close to Good

I was looking forward to the swim effort this morning. Arriving at Ridgway early. I had a nice warm up of 750 before the group began. Mike C. had something in mind that had a bunch of 200's included.
