** Advanced Warning ** Pirate Christmas Social

There is no way I am giving Fly a go ... I shall play my joker  

Nope .....  not a chance 

I shall right royally whoop his arse !!

Have a great party. Gutted I cant be there.

Go Meldy

I'll do fly. Anything for a laugh.

In all seriousness, the ease at which I can 'put my back out' I wont be trying Fly either, put it down to old age or whatever but I'll stick to front crawl with a bit of backstroke thrown in

Muffin ...sorry you wont make the do but I am not sorry you wont be at the PSOF Swim Champs  !!

maybe those who are of a certain age with dodgy shoulders and backs.can do the doggie paddle for that length

Oi.

I can fly kick (in fins), but trying to put the top half of the stroke in play somehow switches my legs into breaststroke kick- I'll have another try this evening.

I think if the IM is to be a balanced race we'll need to handicap the breast and fly refusniks, catch-up drills maybe instead?

I also think (following up something Coach B said earlier) we may need to tinker with the schedule:

100m FC: 4 races (3 heats + final) @ 2min/race = 8 mins

400m FC: 4 races (3 heats + final) @ 8min/race = 32 mins

100 IM: 4 races @ 4min/race = 16 mins

150 relay 3mins

Gives a total of 59 minutes of swimming.  My estimates on time may be a wee bit out, but possibly just do the 400s on a 'best time' basis?

I leave you guys for a little while, head back in to wish you all a great drunken mess of a party at the weekend, and what do I see...

swim stats and race time predictions

Jeeeezzz

*Have a great drunken mess of a party guys*  

I've been desperately seeking a way that i can coordinate combining this and a family event i have to attend - alus it's just not feasible  (it's not as though there wasn't enough advanced warning! - but family does take priority)

im gutted to not be there - should be a cracker!

word of warning - Meldy has been totting up the slights all year - me thinks there may be some retributions in order this weekend! haha

Ferret - some of us can't swim 400m in 10 mins, let alone 8 

8 mins 

I have already been swimming twice this week in preperation.might go again today....................but I also have my excuse ready for saturday as i will be racing earlier in the afternoon cross country so will not have any energy left

Seren - this is the pirates, we don't need any excuses for being bad at swimming, thats what we do.

400m in 8 mins - hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa
