So I test drove my arm today, and so far so good. I did 3650 and I was still going, except for the cramping for the last 500. So I am optimistic that the cortisone shot did work.
But I am also have other weirdness. When I got done with the workout, my fingers were white, like all the color had been leeched out of them. They didn't hurt, but it was really weird looking, my brown arms and my white fingers. I can only wonder if that was part of the cortisone.
The true test will come when I swim tomorrow. I can usually swim one day and not be in too bad of shape but two days kills my arm. We will just have to wait and see.
But I was back at Brisbane today and unfortunately it seems that there are some new faces, and they kicked my butt. With three people in the pool I was only the second fastest - I guess we are just going to have to remedy that.
I signed up for a fitness swim at BAKAR starting September 5, it runs three weeks - twice a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) so I will have LZ in the morning on Wednesday and the fitness class in the evening. Might have to take a few naps in between.
Fin girl was there today, she is getting faster, but I am faster until she puts on those damn fins. Blast it all anyway.
On a positive note, it seems that my watch did work this week, so I did a 400 free in under 7:00 (just) so we can put that to rest.
Next up - 400 free under 6:55.

Did you do your stretching exercises?
ReplyDeleteShould we have Tolar steal fin girls fins?
Please ask the Sports Med doc about your finger coloring & tingling. I suspect it is a side effect, but better to ask.
Was your newest Fresh Diet food any good?
6:50 or bust! They're hopefully on the home stretch in painting/retexturing our home & it'll be nice to have no more workers here (they've been here since May on a variet of projects).
