swimming for 50 minutes non-stop...

when you are obviously out of shape\not in training sucks.
i just did a swimathon for red cross tsunami relief today, and oh boy, and i sore. glad i did something, gave as much money as i could.
my body aches from head to toe, literally. my little toe i broke last year, was in another horrible accident today involving the lane rope.

but good news = i was talking to the wonderful lady who put the gig on, and she was saying it was a complete success when it comes down to the donations they received.

As long as it's not at Newton wave pool, everything is ok.

you know that actually didnt cross my mind... and your right it is kinda odd. it just something these athletes could do?

i would have liked to do this, yet my cardio system is so minescule i'd be panting after 6 laps.

the lady that put it on said from the hyacks that participated about a grand or more. thats when i asked when it was about 1 pm. i jumped in at 7 pm, and didnt really have time to ask what the money was at then, and after i was done, well i was done and tired and left. im assuming at least 2-3000, more then liekly more. there was tons of groups\teams that participated, plus they had sponsers, and there was a 4 hour water-polo practice and they were all donating as well.
