Workout notes 2000 yard swim; 500 warm up, 250 drill/swim, 5 x 200 on the 3:30 (3:19, 17, 17, 17, 15), 250 off stroke cool down. The shoulder didn’t like fly; I think that is where I dinged it. So for a while, I’ll do fly with fins when I do it at all.

Ultras

I’ve signed up for the Farmdale 32 mile ultra tomorrow; the course will be a complete sea of mud. Frankly, given the state of my lower hamstring/upper calf, my chances of finishing are remote. But I can do one loop and declare myself to have been in the 8 miler, though I am going to bring gear as if I will attempt to finish it all.

The time limit is 9 hours which means that walking it all will be all but impossible, given the mud.

Does this bottle make my butt look big? That was from 2007 where I was second to last overall and dead last among the males (walked the 33 mile course the whole way).
