Love this. So true.

One of my fav photos from Highbridge at dawn.

Not afraid of sharks. Just don't stay in with a school of dolphins for too long when they have calves. That was fascinating and a bit scary. A day to remember for sure.

Great swim practices! Fun times. :)

Fun times. :)

Ain't that the truth. Miss our weekly ocean swims.

I also went to the Miami Swim Show and I saw your booth, first of all I want to tell you that I think your booth was the best of all, it was really orgianil and second I will like to tell you that I had de opportunity to see your swim trunks and they were absolutly perfect I enjoy the color but specially the fabrics!!!Congrats

see a 46.9 pretty soon. In fact, Jason Lezak of the USA swam a come from beihnd 46.06 relay leg to win the 4 100m Gold at Beijing. Why the sudden change? New improved LZR speed suits? Resistance stretching? It wouldn't

Relaxing in the water is more than half the battle. I don't think I relaly got the hang of doing more than one lap at a time of front crawl until I figured out how to swim slowly enough to be able to endure it longer.Of course, in learning to run distances, I had to learn how to run slowly enough to endure it longer.I'm planning on doing the Miquelon Lake Alberta Challenge triathlon in August. You could look into that. It has a nice, friendly sprint distance

I read about this the other day, but I cannot reeebmmr where. I try to tell people if you skip for ten minutes everyday, you can eat what you want, and thats a fact

Thanks, Sharon. Having grown up in St. Petersburg, I'm so used to being able to head down to the bay for a beautiful sursine or out to the beaches for an amazing sunset. It's hard for me to imagine living in an area where there isn't any water around to provide the background for these beautiful sights. So, it's fun to share with others. By the way, I've seen some very nice photos (and posts) from you and your group over the past many months. In fact, the professionalism that you folks seem to embrace was one of the factors that inspired me to go ahead and start my blog. I had seen some other blogs that pretty much put me off of the idea, so your posts have been a welcome find. Bob

Fortunately for me, I'm naturally a twig. I have a high mebaotlism and eat whatever I want. BUT I also work out all the time, exercise any chance I get, and eat the best I can. If I didn't, I wouldn't have any definition or muscle tone to my body and would look sickly. I don't eat right and exercise to lose weight, but to gain it. That, though sounding twisted, is the same thing as odd as it may sound. Basically, if I didn't, my muscles would become weak and wiggly, and in turn will look like fat, so I work as if I'm losing weight.What I do is incorporate exercise everywhere possible. I do calf raises in the shower, making food, brushing my hair, and anywhere that I'm just standing. Walking up the steps is a great one; I do it quickly while on my toes pushing off each step as hard as I can to engage my calves. Instead of sitting watching TV, I'll watch it while doing sit-ups. Putting groceries away? Hmm I think I'll pick up that gallon of milk a couple times like doing arm curls. It all sounds silly, but trust me it works. It's all about finding time when you feel like there is none. You could end up doing 30min worth of a workout in a day without every leaving to the gym or making separate time to do so.

my favorite swimming memeory has to be just all the time i spent with my team in the locker rooms messing with each other and joking around after practices it is one of the things i miss most of all about swimming on a team

That is a great quote

go Martin go swim to the Atlantic ocean. your amazon swim the biggest swimming adventure in history.
