Dive Clinic


I wasn't able to attend the official dive clinic Tim set up but luckily Mike Texido put on his own dive clinic at the meet last Saturday. This photo was from the front page of the Palo Alto Weekly.

The meet was such a great success - incredibly well run and FUN. Major kudos to Judy and everyone involved in pulling it off!

Yesterday we had a nice leisurely "recovery" Sunday practice, and today we were back to normal long hard sets. Yay.

*warm up: 400 free, 2 x 50's kick, 2 x 50's stroke, 2 x 50's fast free
*3 x 200's descending 1-3
repeat 3 times
*2 x 100's descending 1-2
repeat 2 times

Sorry to hijack the blog (again), but I thought someone may be interested in this:

I have a spare pair of tickets to see Liz Phair at The Filmore Monday night (6/23). Liz is an awesome singer/songwriter, and this is a rare live performance for her. She's none too bad to look at either...ooops...did I say that out loud? :)

If anyone is interested in the show...let me know and the tickets are yours.

Oxygen Depletion

I hate fins. Why, as a soccer player, I can't kick or use my legs in the pool, I don't know. But I can't kick. I seem to go backwards when no fins are on my feet, and I feel like my lungs are going to explode when I do use fins. Go figure. Today I'm also losing my left big toenail, which is always a fun sensation while finning. *warm up: 300 free, 200 back to breast, 100 kick, 50 strong add fins for: *3 x 50's free on TIGHT interval (35 s) 150 recovery *3 x 100's free on TIGHT interval (1:10) 150 recovery *3 x 150's on TIGHT interval 150 recovery *3 x 200's on TIGHT interval remove fins for: *150 easy *2 x 50's hard repeat 2x

For Heidi

I was nervous about visiting Heidi. I remembered her as an always upbeat, caring person who lit up the locker room at 5:45am and made me glad I had gotten out of bed. I knew she took great trips, and lived actively. I knew how happy she was about her son's marriage. Beyond that, I figured I didn't know her very well. I never saw her outside of Burgess, and I consider her a teammate and acquaintance, more than a dear friend. That said, thanks to the environment Tim has created, we teammates at Burgess definitely feel like a part of something bigger - a family, a support system, something. But as Sunday drew near, I considered the fact that I felt a chest cold arriving, and that I would have to depart from my children (who I see too little during the week) for hours to go visit her in San Leandro. I wondered what I would say to her and around her. I wondered if she'd even care to see me. And I almost didn't go. I will forever be glad that I went. And I encourage every one
