First week of swim practice...

I just got this e-mail from my coach...

All:

Just a quick reminder that we start workout on Monday, August 27th at
6:30 a.m. at Audrey Moore.  We will be swimming from 6:30-8:00 a.m.
then you will have 15 minutes to be changed and ready for Cross Fit
training from 8:15-9:00 a.m.  If you are not out of the water, changed
and ready for dryland at 8:15 a.m., you will be running laps for 45
minutes.

Cross Fit instructor is ****.  Any messing around will result
in your removal from the dryland group...and you'll be running laps
the rest of workout.

Make sure you have sneakers, shorts and t-shirt plus refill your water
bottles.  Should be challenging but fun.

Make sure you order / pick up any missing training equipment ASAP.

If you are not familiar with cross fit, you can visit their website
at;  http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/excercise.html#WOD

Check out the links for some of the exercises listed below (in the
link above) that we will be doing so you are somewhat familiar with
them before we start.  Some of the exercises are done in combinations
of 3 & 4 exercises with even some sprint running in between.  (You're
gonna be sore).  Some exercises are done for time (as many reps as you
can do in X seconds) and others are done as sets of 10-20 reps

Air Squats
Box Jump Variations
Burpee Demo
Dip
Double Unders
Dumbbell Split Lifts
Hand Stand Push-ups (maybe)
Jumping Squats (probably with med ball though)
Knees to elbows
L-sit demo
Medicine Ball Cleans
Overhead squats (with dumbbells or med ball)
Pull-up
Push-up
Wall Ball
Walking Lunges

That should be enough to get you started...
See you Monday.

End of swim season slideshow

For the end of the Summer swim season team banquet I made a slideshow. I did it a little differently this year, and I like how it came out for the most part. The photos were all taken by me or my father. We showed it with a projector, and I set up my speakers for the sound track. It seemed to be popular, and I enjoyed making it. Here it is:

I think I need to work on the formatting before posting it to my blog...

I was hoping to make an A time in something, but I think this is still pretty good.

Swimming

I note in passing that I have had three primary winter swim coaches in three years. (Four if you count CY's temporary replacement, I can't remember her name)

Listed from first to current:

Coach Brolin, George Mason Makos
Coach CY, Potomac Marlins
Coach Bill Marlin, Potomac Marlins

Maybe things will start slowing down some now that I'm at the fastest level group.  ;)

Update

This didn't work too well. I sort of forgot about this website, and haven't done anything with it for a long time. Right now my main project in woodworking is building two banjos. (That may have been the secret project mentioned earlier, but I've forgotten!) We are doing the bible bee right now, and that takes up a lot of time. I never knew was so bad at memorizing. It seems like my brothers and sisters can just read a card once or twice and have memorized it. Right now the lab is also very cluttered; I just got about 50 years worth of the Proceedings of the IRE (now IEEE), plus about the same number of years of Radio magazine, and am trying to find places for all of them. I just got back from a swim meet. I swam 50m backstroke and butterfly. I only have to drop .08 seconds in my fly to break 30, which is one of my swimming goals for this summer. (I placed second, the the winning time was 30.00s) I have been doing winter swim, and am currently swimming with coaches Bill and Bob at Camelot, (SCM) and Audry Moore, (LCM). 
 I am also busy with some of the new equipment we got down in Florida. The lab has been expanded to the entire sunroom, with a woodworking space.
