The next meet that I might compete in is on March 16. It is short course yards. So, if you picture an Olympic pool, SCY would be swimming from side to side and not the longer length as the Olympians swim (that is long course meters). It is 25 yards from one side to the other. If you are doing a 50 yard event, you need to do a flip turn and go back to where you started. Are you working on giving up your sea turtle?![]()
I will be, when I resume not this Friday, but the next! I will be transforming myself from an inelegant sea turtle, to an elegant chicken on a spit! Chumleyboo, level 77
Trying to catch up here...congrats on that lovely Tshirt, Blondie.....way to go, I'm a lottle jealous of the cap. You'd better keep a close eye on it. Don't set it down unattended! Anthea, what's this about turtles? Did I miss a conversation? And well-one on LP, girl....you're blowing me away! GC: pristoph ......... HD Level 53.....DV Level 32
You are already an elegant chick!![]()

Thanks!Blondie is remotely coaching me in swimming. All I can do at the moment is breaststroke and backstroke, and my goal for this year is to improve my freestyle. Currently, when I do attempt freestyle, I swim like a turtle, with my body flat and limbs flapping! What I should do is rotate my body, like a chicken on a spit (but not all the way around!) It's VERY difficult, and I can't get the breathing right, but I will keep trying. And as for LP, thank you! I think being beaten by Samantha, who claims it was by mistake (pull the other one, Sam, you did promise me a thrashing!!) has reawakened my killer instinct! Chumleyboo, level 77[/QUOTEyea, you guys, who beat the heck out of me in LP. I used to play all the time, but having a hard time balancing words with friends and that one. If i play you guy's again, bear with me. Only on once or twice a day if that. And I could skip day's also. So, only request a game if you can handle that. Otherwise, I am all good.
PS. Go BRONCOS

i have no idea how my reply ended up like that! Ok then, I obviously do not know how to reply, definitely cannot multi quote. Bugger, thought i had this thing figured out. Sorry gang. Also one of the reasons I hardly ever initiate a trade, I stink at that too. At least I know how to change an avatar, and know what they mean. (Avatar), that is. I keep trying to dye the hair darker, hoping for some of the dumb blonde in me to leave, but it keeps fading back. LOL D. Must be wine time!

You GO girl!!! Good for you! May I ask what IS the Polar Bear Challenge? It sounds coldI remember your New Years resolution was to improve your swim times...how's that going? I don't think I could swim a single length, myself. Let alone compete in swimming! Clever thing, you
Oer! Didn't mean to awaken the beast!! And although it was honestly by accident that I ended the game and won it, I have to say that I overcame my regret quite quickly and went on to have a splendid nights sleep

Ok I think it agree.Ummmm.... We blondes are super smart!! (It's the combo of blonde plus red [wine] that gets us in trouble!!! Lol!). The Polar Bear Challenge is to swim in so many practices between mid-December and January 1st. Our challenge was: 9X earns swim cap, 12X earns Tshirt, 16X earns cap, Tshirt, pizza!! It's hard because of the weather- we were soooo cold some of those days (yet other days I got my tan on!!!!). It's basically motivation but difficult because of Christmastime commitments and family (trumps Polar Bear!). But, you can eat more dessert and drink more eggnog!. So, in that, "clever thing", indeed, my sweet friend!!
