inoubliable: October 2009

http://ironman-inoubliable.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Saturday, October 31, 2009. Let Me Call You Sweetheart. I spent last weekend in Palm Springs with Julie, Megan and Kari, celebrating our collective 40th birthday. While I was there, I finished a book about another accomplishment. It's the new Glenn Stout biography of Trudy Ederle, the first woman to swim the English Channel. The book describes how Trudy would retreat into her own "sphere" while she swam. A state of almost automated bliss and communion with the water. Sound familiar, mermaids? Trudy and t...

inoubliable: Happy Old Year

http://ironman-inoubliable.blogspot.com/2009/12/happy-old-year.html

Wednesday, December 30, 2009. So it has been. With the disappointments and frustrations of 2009 came gifts large and small: perspective, adventure, and a humble little box bearing a reluctant treasure called maturity. 2009 brought, for the first time that I can remember, a tiny taste of boredom. How do you fill the 16-25 hours per week you planned to spend training for the Ironman when suddenly you can't? I woke up one morning in August and weighed 118 pounds. And never felt fatter. I will get better.

inoubliable: Still Here Dancing with the Groo Grux King

http://ironman-inoubliable.blogspot.com/2009/10/still-here-dancing-with-groo-grux-king.html

Thursday, October 8, 2009. Still Here Dancing with the Groo Grux King. The alarm went of at 5 on Wednesday morning, and by 5:30 I was handing a check for $195 to the coach at Mercerwood Shore Club. I am officially back in the pool, with a new home. Through the end of the year, anyway. I liked the workout, but I am warped for pool swimming for awhile. Yelled Mike Shaeffer from the edge of lane 6 when he arrived. I answered, red faced and panting after a mere 200 meters. I'm back in the pool tomorrow, with...

inoubliable: March 2009

http://ironman-inoubliable.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 29, 2009. Phil and I agreed on 2 x :30 trainer spins over the weekend as a good test for the health of my post-injection knee. It had been tender all week, exacerbated by running after planes, trains and automobiles Tuesday while carrying too much heavy stuff and wearing security-friendly shoes. Dang rear tire was flat. That's a new one. This bike has been not been outside since January. How is this possible? SoI checked out all of the usual places in an eager search for a 700 tube. Non...

inoubliable: November 2009

http://ironman-inoubliable.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 27, 2009. Sunday, November 15, 2009. The last of the kneedles. I had the last of 5 Supartz knee injections on Thursday morning, and was given the green light for low-impact exercise. Friday morning I logged 15 minutes on the elliptical machine, ramp at 1, resistance at 3. This morning I went for 20 minutes at 1 and 4. So far, so good. Sunday, November 1, 2009. Of course I was torn, because I've always wanted to swim outdoors on Halloween. All Saint's Day.so much the better. Http:/ www&#4...

inoubliable: April 2009

http://ironman-inoubliable.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 26, 2009. Yost Pool Will See Another Summer. Some say a parent should teach a child to swim. Saturday, April 25, 2009. I guess we're down to the practical things now. Dear Phil has stepped up with interest in my Penticton accommodations, which could be great because it would facilitate a quick transaction that I wouldn't need to think about much. I need to yank off the bandaid and minimize the drama. Saturday, April 18, 2009. Swimming Like It's 1996. Last week I swam five consecutive days&#...

Sunday, November 1, 2009. As I curled up on the blue couch this morning, with a hot coffee in hand and the fourth installment of Twilight on my lap, I looked out at the fog hanging over the lake and thought to myself: there's no way. Of course I was torn, because I've always wanted to swim outdoors on Halloween. All Saint's Day.so much the better. Was a November swim was more of a story I wanted to tell than something I truly wanted to do? There was only one way to find out. November 2, 2009 at 2:03 PM.
