another phys... swim

I had a great swim today- and I even got to start late! I got to the pool at 7:30, and swam workout # 3. I was steady and worked hard on the 1000m. loved it. The 10 x 50 metres were hard to start, but then they went well and felt useful b/c I concentrated on my stroke. Finished with 50 metre back 50 metre scull. = 2 km.

GOOD NEWS! It was just announced that there will be a 1/2 iron on my home turf here at SHawnigan ! I think I may just have to run this one! ?YAH?OO! The run is on the trans canada trail, swim from Shawnigan Lake Park. Yippee!


NEW PHYSIO. Since MArcee is off having a baby (so selfish of her!) I was reommended to Gerald the hotty hot hot with a deutsch accent. He was very intense and direct... All the others therapists on Crac, he says. (great for my confidence and faith in physiotherapy) But something tells me he's good for me (perhaps it has everything to do with his total hotness... i don't know).

Anyhow, he's convinced that:

• my left leg is shorter than the right; so I've bought a heel pad for my right shoe to try and keep my hip stabilized.
  
• my right quad is all knotted up, and my IT bands are tight- so he gave me a delightfully excutiating massage- and plans to do more.
• my arch strength in my right foot is almost nill- so I have this weird excercise to build strength.
• I'm convinced that he's a total babe.... except that he used to be a rugby head. of course he's prob'ly already married or gay or something- whatev's... not like i have the raging masses reading my blog.

Have I mentioned how excited I am about Shawnigan Hosting a 1/2 Iron?! Sign up is Jan. 11th! YAHOO!
