Taz's diary - Need to do this!

[Taz]

Well that surprised me Gem! I didn't expect anyone else to be online this early!

 

[Gemstone]

I'm usually around at this time Taz. My alarm goes down at 5.25 on weekdays! x

 

[Jim]

Morning Taz, I just googled that, they look quite nice, the swimming costume that is

 

[Taz]

Yes it is Jim, I didn't know they did swimming costumes til I saw them half price in my catalog! I use the normal sports bras for karate and they are brilliant.

 

[Jim]

Not something I'd be aware of taz.

 

[Taz]

Well I would hope not Jim!

I think I might have to add flippers to my christmas list! I tried them out in the pool the other day and they make a real difference. The pool has some pairs that you can use but only about 3 pairs so it's pot luck if you can get them. Also you don't know who's had their feet in them! So I looked them up on Amazon and they are only £15 a pair. Quite reasonable I thought. I am also considering a nose clip as I get lots of water up my nose when I do backstroke!

 

[Jim]

Flippers will certainly improve your speed Taz, always left me with sore calves though.

 

[Taz]

The lady who introduced me to them said they improved the appearance of her cellulite! They certainly make you use different muscles in your legs!

 

[coachnomad]

Hi Taz, well done on getting more swimming done. I don't think it will be long before you have overtaken me again!!!!

I'm not sure I like the idea of using flippers!!!!

 

[Jim]

Can't recall feeling it in my thighs Taz, but maybe I did and have forgotten.

 

[Taz]

Do they have them at your pool Nomad? If they are part of the Zoggs Swim4Fitness program then they should have loads of stuff available

 

[Gemstone]

So I come home from work to all this talk about Jim's bra (or did I read that wrong?)
....and flippers - they seem to work for seals, dolphins etc so why not?

Ask Santa for the flippers - I reckon he probably visit Amazon Taz x

 

[Taz]

I will ask santa Gem, he is good like that!

 

[Taz]

Yaaaawwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn Morning all!

Well I am up nice and early again, getting a bit tired now but only today and tomorrow and then it's the weekend! I am working on Saturday but I am planning a looooooonnnnnng lie in on Sunday!

Have a good day everyone x

 

[Gemstone]

Mornin' Taz. Just a thought - you are on REST days at the moment - need I say more? x

 

[Jim]

Morning Taz, if it's a rest day, why are you up.

 

[Taz]

Swimming Jim, swimming! And what a session that was this morning. Got my time down by nearly 20 minutes, 150 lengths (3750m) in 1hr 45mins. The last 100 lengths I used the flippers and they really do make a difference. I can't wait to get my own. Need a nose clip too, that would probably make a nice stocking filler

So we are almost at the end of the channel swim challenge and me and Nomad already have the next one in sight! This one is a monster though, it's a weekend oin Snowdonia and the Saturday is the swim. The swim being: 1.5 mile walk to the lake, 4km swim across the lake, lunch by the waterfalls, 4km swim back across the lake, 1.5 mile walk back to camp, bbq in the evening!

 

[Jim]

That's some challenge Taz.

 

[Taz]

Sure is Jim! Think I may have to get a bit fitter and buy a new wetsuit before doing that one!

 

[Jim]

A wet suit is a must if it's late in the year Taz.
