Broken 200 back set
by, April 29th, 2013 at 09:17 PM (1219 Views)
Back indoors to SCM!
450 warmup. It was suppose to be a 500, but I just didn't feel like finishing.
12 x 50 on 1:00
suppose to be kick, but I did
1 kick on back;
2 x kick w/board/swim by 25
Main set:
200 easy on 3:30
8 x 25 on :40
200 easy on 3:30
4 x 50 on 1:00
200 easy on 3:30
2 x 100 on 2:00
200 easy on 3:30
1 x 200
200 easy
This was a great 200 backstroke set!
1:20, 1:12
and did an easy 100 per every recovery 200.
That really took it out of me. I am not swimming with the team tomorrow. Maybe easy stuff on my own.
I am really into these ROCKTELLA lolipops. They are sold in the mexican grocery store (Fiesta) but I can't find these ones at WMT. They have 4 chili layers and sour bubble gum in the middle. The only thing I don't like is they are perfectly round, which actually makes it hard for resting it, retainer-like, in your mouth so you have both hands free. And they are nice and big, so it looks dumb for a 44 year old woman to have it poking out the side of the cheek. But then I use my right hand to hold it, which is also my remote hand, and I have noticed I must be getting pre-carpal tunnel Rocktella remote syndrome in my right hand.

(Phoenix, Ariz. - Feb. 1, 2006) Samuel Pearson Goddard, Jr., who served as Arizona's 12th governor from 1965 to 1967, died this morning in Phoenix following a long illness. He was 86.
Goddard was born in Clayton, Mo., in 1919. He graduated from Harvard University in 1941 with a degree in history. Following graduation, Goddard enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army Air Corps and was commissioned an officer in 1942. He served as an operations and communications officer in Europe and the Pacific during World War II. Goddard continued to serve in the U.S. Air Force Reserves, retiring with the rank of colonel.
Goddard and his wife, Judy, settled after the war in Tucson, where he graduated from law school at the University of Arizona. After establishing his law practice, Goddard entered the political arena in 1959 and was elected chair of the Arizona Democratic Party in 1960. He was elected governor in 1964.
As governor, he pushed for major improvements in state management, including the first budget office in Arizona history. He set up new state commissions, including the Arizona Commission on Arts and Humanities, the Governor's Commission on the Status of Women, the Arizona State Manpower Advisory Committee, the Advisory Council on Aging, the Governor's Committee on Employment of the Handicapped, and the Governor's Commission on Arizona Beauty. He testified before Congress in favor of the Central Arizona Project and worked with neighboring governors to gain CAP passage.
Following his term as governor, Goddard stayed active in politics, serving as the Arizona Democratic Party Chair from 1979 to 1990 and on the Democratic National Committee for 20 years. He also was elected to represent Maricopa County on the Central Arizona Water Conservation District Board of Directors from 1987 to 1994.
"He excelled in so many areas," said his son, Attorney General Terry Goddard. "As governor, he brought professionalism and efficiency to state government. He loved Arizona passionately, and by plane, jeep and on foot, he covered almost every inch of it."
He was preceded in death by his wife, Judy. He is survived by his second wife, Myra Ann; three sons, Terry, Tim and Bill; and three grandchildren.
Funeral services are pending.

INTERNATIONAL. Venezuela surpassed Saudi Arabia to become the world's largest holder of proven oil reserves, a resource that President Hugo Chavez promises to tap if he gets re-elected in October.
The South American country's deposits were at 296.5 billion barrels at the end of last year, data from BP Plc (BP/) show. Saudi Arabia held 265.4 billion barrels, BP said yesterday in its annual Statistical Review of World Energy. The 2010 estimate for Venezuela increased from 211.2 billion in the previous report.
Chavez wants to more than double the country's oil- production capacity to 6 million barrels a day by 2019, according to a government plan released June 12. The world's biggest oil-exporting nations faced a 15% slump in crude prices last month, the biggest decline since December 2008, on speculation Europe's debt crisis would derail the global economic recovery.
Venezuelan Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez has said oil prices need to be higher than US$100 a barrel. The recent slump in crude is dangerous for producers, Ramirez said June 12 in Vienna, where the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries meets today to decide production quotas.
Brent futures rose 54 cents, or 0.6%, to US$97.67 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange at 1:10 p.m. in Singapore today.
Global reserves advanced to 1.65 trillion barrels at the end of last year, a 1.9% increase from a revised 1.62 trillion in 2010, BP said. Venezuela now holds 18 percent of the world's reserves, according to BP data.
BP revised its estimates on reserves in part because the company publishes its report in June, before most governments issue their annual reserves figures, said Robert Wine, a BP spokesman. Last year's record average oil price also had an effect, increasing the commercial viability of hard-to-reach deposits, he said.
Saudi Arabia now trails Venezuela with a 16 percent share of world proven oil reserves, according to the report. Canada ranks third with 175.2 billion barrels, or 11 percent of total, unchanged from the revised number for 2010.
Russia, the world's biggest crude producer, boosted its deposits to 88.2 billion barrels from a revised 86.6 billion a year earlier, according to BP. Russia's share of the total is 5.3%.
Reserves in Norway increased last year, snapping 11 years of declines, according to BP. The country's deposits rose to 6.9 billion barrels, compared with a revised figure of 6.8 billion in 2010.
BP said the estimates in yesterday's report are a combination of official sources, OPEC data and other third-party estimates. Deposits include gas condensates and natural-gas liquids, as well as crude.
