    My team, the Packers, got knocked out in the playoffs by Atlanta. Perhaps it was because I did not do my karma swim for them. *raising a fist at the Football gods*

    An hour and 2550 yds. Drizzly and 40 degrees kept the pool relatively uncrowded.
    Left shoulder has really been bothering me, but swimming doesn't hurt much except for my open turns that I now do with the right arm.

    Looking forward to a very quiet swim tomorrow :smile:

    45 minutes. Not long, but long enough to leave it all at the bottom of the pool :) It might be time for a lap counter though... I never have any idea how far I swim. I'm always curious when I'm done though.

    Meant to be competing in the New Zealand Masters Games tonight and tomorrow night. But with my iron stores almost non existent and my sad lack of training, I'm not sure if I'll end up swimming!

    Had entered the 50 100 and 200 backstroke, the 200IM and the 200 and 400 free, so will probably end up doing only a couple if any.

    Feeling massive pressure from friends etc to do well, which is why I am wanting to pull out. They don't get that I'm not fit or in good condition at the moment and I'm struggling with the fear of letting everyone down and having them disappointed in me. (Childhood issues die hard!)

    4500 yards @ 80 minutes. So motivating to have people faster than I am in the pool!

    Wimpy pool folks let a little snow get in the way of taking off the pool covers :neutral: -- maybe tomorrow.

    650m yesterday

    400 warmup

    Races

    50m back 38.84

    200IM 3.01

    Bit above my PBs but better than expected given how I've been feeling lately.

    Tonight is 400m free 200m back 100m back and 200m free. Which will be a big ask.

    1850 tonight, very cold but the snow is pretty much gone. On a different note, my shoulder is bugging me and it shortened my swim. The coach/manager claims it's not swimmer's shoulder because he said if I can hold it straight out to the side and lift up over my head, it would hurt if it was caused by swimming. I can't pick up a 20 lb. box off the ground. Yes, I know I will get in to see a doc to start, but for you experienced folks, does that sound right?

    600 warmup

    Races

    400m free 5.32

    100m back 1.22

    200m back 2.58 (cruised this lol)

    200m free 2.37

    The 400 was about 0.2 seconds above my PB, the 100 back about 0.5 seconds over, but the 200 free was over 2 seconds faster so that was a great end to a tough meet. And I will be driving home tomorrow with six gold medals which was extremely unexpected.

    @nuffer In what position does it bother you?
    I would believe your coach as he has probably seen it in other swimmers.
    When I was young and reckless I partially separated both shoulders ( at different times ) - bad fall while downhill skiing. The test for me was "try to pickup a beer off the table and have a sip" - couldn't do it.

    @emmab0902 WAY TO GO!! That should lift your spirits!!!
    @juliet3455 what a terrible test to fail, lol. I would have found a straw. It wouldn't solve the shoulder problem, but it would solve the beer one!

    45 minutes circling with two swimmers of the same pace (this rarely happens at my pool-we're always all mixed up). Then a class. Lots of work related stress, so I really needed my pool time yesterday :)
