If you remember good ol Festis, and how he walked.. well ..................
That's me... just limpin along til June 4. Saw the doc today to go over a few things. Not much new to report, except he keeps mentioning it might be the arthritis that will be my pain, after surgery. HEY, I didn't have ol arthur bothering me before so let's not get ahead of that wagon.
He is pretty sure I won't be doing any Ironman races this summer. And unless I have some miraculous recovery , rehab, and an awesome 10 week training session, I guess I would have to agree. I do think it would be stupid to participate in such a huge undertaking at anything less than 80%. Full strength would be optimal but I'm not sure that even happens for a majority of folks.
But just for fun let me tell you about my last swim at the secret pool.. always something there. This time a dude was practicing holding his breath underwater. At first he'd just go down and hold on to this weight. Then he started doing a kind of crab walk along the bottom across the lanes. It looked very weird, was quite distracting. He'd be under for a couple minutes.

Whoa, that's creepy-the guy holding his breath for long periods. I would really be distracted - worrying about whether he was going to make it back up. That's always been my problem - champion worrier. if they had a marathon for worrying, I'd be at the top of my age group.
creepy guy was in next lane today... so i asked how long... he gave some weird comments about how odd it is to feel comfortable down there, and some other dude/zen isms.. then said 1:45 is his longest..
oh, yeah, i was worried too. esp if he popped up into MY lane. I go to the secret pool for the lane privacy.
