I am back.

Extended vacation + dinner with in-laws cause me to be absent longer than planned. Someday* I might get one of those smart phone thingies so I can update you all before hand


*the day when there is no other alternative cell phone service and I decided that I actually want to continue having a cell phone**

**which is becoming less and less of a probability as I continue to see less and less utility in them***

***which probably correlates directly to how non-social I have become of late

Dude, you can watch your baby monitor on a smartphone.  Worth it just for that.

But first I would have to get a baby monitor and want a baby monitor

Hmmm.... maybe, but probably not as I can at least the forums 95% of the time. I think a large contributing factor is that cell phones of any kind are strictly forbidden in the lab I work in--and even if they were allowed I wouldn't want to use it there for fear of contamination.

Sorry again for my disappearance this weekend...more hospital-related shenanigans I'm afraid. They can't kill me that easily though ;)

Star Wars Mafia is open! I'll catch up with other stuff soon.

Take care of yourself, Walrus!

Don't get your hopes up: LA isn't the best place for skiing.

Hello all, I apologize for my continued absence. I'm back for now, but my availability will be diminished going into the near future. If I've forgotten anything please poke me and I'll get right to it, I don't want to leave anybody hanging.

I've got Star Wars covered, so no worries there.

Is it a little late for a V/LA announcement?

Last November/December, I was talked into (challenged, motivated, whatever you want to call it) attempting what's generally referred to as "The Triple Crown" of swimming - Catalina Island to Los Angles (20.2 Miles, point-to-point), England to France (21 Miles point-to-point), and the Manhattan Island Marathon Swim (28.5 Miles). Moreover, the goal set is to complete all three within a 1 year period. The list of people who have completed the three is less than 100 long, and those that have done so in under a year even fewer.

With these challenges set, I've been spending every spare moment (read: Not working/sleeping) either researching, or training. My training right now consists of 5 days of swimming (3 days with US Masters meets, and 2 days of distance swimming (10,000m)). In addition, I'm acclimating myself slowly to the bay area water temperatures (about 58 degrees this time of year) two days a week (usually a 1-2 mile swim depending on how I feel) - although I share days with my other training, leaving me 5 training days, and 2 rest days.

The rest of the time, when I'm not swimming, is spent either working, sleeping, occasionally eating, and driving to all the places I need to be on a daily basis. At the end of the day/week, I've simply got nothing left to spare a thought to.

The training will only increase as time goes on, although some of it will combine (eventually my two distances swims will be entirely contained within my cold water acclimation times). The first swim will be Catalina in mid-late 2015, with the English Channel in early-mid 2016. I haven't yet decided if I want to do Manhattan in 2015 or 2016.

Between water temperature, air temperature, currents, marine life, endurance, feeding, and a million and one other things to train for, this is my (albeit late) notice that my recreational life is basically on hold for the next two years.

I'm keeping a personal log/diary right now, but eventually I'll be setting up a website to update my progress. When that happens, I'll be sure to let you all know. In the meantime, everything sent my way here on f.ds is still filtered into my gmail, so I'm not completely unreachable. I just may not have time to check in for months at a time (as has been the case recently).

For anybody that's curious about the swims:

Manhattan Island Marathon Swim
Catalina Island Swim
English Channel
Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming (complete list)


-Edit-

Oh, and:

Why did this thread die?

Because I gave up drinking when I began training. I think I account for most of the posts in that thread pre-2014.....

Good 'on ya, mate!  Learning how to stop getting water in your mouth is the first step in your swimming training.

Are you going to raise money for charity with it? You should, im sure we would donate! (I've got Theory's credit card number)

I will be going through a charity, yeah. The total expense (especially for that one) is quite high. I'll be looking into contacting various organizations after I've made the downpayment on the Pilot - at which point I'll know the exact week that I'll be aiming for.

LA again from Sunday until sometime Wednesday. It's my spring break and I'm going skiing for the first time!

So this ended up being completely Internet-free, sorry! I'm still on the drive back now but I should be able to get to stuff tonight. Also, skiing was SO FUN OMG! And no concussions, only a little minor whiplash. :p

Galz, that's so cool! We are all rooting for you!
