It's Tuesday and here are a few of the things I may have missed...
1. "Eamon Sullivan suffering complications from appendix surgery" LINK. Eamon looks forward to 2010/ (Eamon is pictured to the right in bed recovering)
2. Win with the Gay Games VIII Advent Calendar LINK. Starting today you can win Gay Games merchandise and the grand prize of free basic registration to the Gay Games VIII. (see link above for further details, rules, etc.)
3. Reach For The Wall has some local school swim coverage LINK It's always nice to read about swim meets.
4. The Scientific Swimming Article Review SSAR (not the disease) covers "Swimming and Cycling Overload training Effects on Running Economy" LINK. Once again it's just a three paragraph glimpse of the actual study. The blog does list the reference but no links to the main study or other articles on this subject.
5. Damn luddites are at it again actually yet again. Now they are aiming their slingshots at the new blocks LINK. Stop it. We are not going to wool suits and the days of jumping off wooden blocks. Get over it, move on before swimming moves on without you.
6. Swimintelligence pulls out the calculator to help swimmers determine a goal pace LINK. They even have a link to another post that originally started this discussion the SwimCoachDirect LINK and have a nifty Excel spreadsheet to help determine goal paces.
7. It's Hug A Swimmer Day LINK. Found all about it via the Kastaway Blog LINK. So come on and go hug a swimmer. Just not me cuz' I'm not really into that touchy feelie stuff. We can shake hands on it.
8. Speaking of blocks, Tony posted a great youtube video with cool graphics on how to perform a proper start LINK.
9. The Empire Strikes Cyclist: "LAPD Tackle Cyclists at Friday’s Critical Mass" LINK At least they aren't as bad as the NYPD (read above link for full story)
10. Wrapping up today with the usual Tuesday's Biggest Loser stuff - Is "'The Biggest Loser' Too Dangerous?" LINK "Suze Orman and the Obesity Money Pit" LINK "'Biggest Loser' Castoff Allen Smith Talks & Cooks With Jay Leno" LINK
