Lub-dub, lub-dub, lub-dub

TNYA recently hosted its annual One Hour Swim and over 130 masters swimmers from all over metropolitan New York joined the grand party. This year, we dedicated the event to our beloved Coach Paul and raised monies to support the good work of the AIDS Service Center and Ali Forney Center.

Our team is now focussed on preparing for June's IGLA Championships and we are so ready to train. McKibben's Long Distance: A Year of Living Strenuously has stirred me to action:
We want to expand the comfort zone, and to do that you can't be afraid of failing. In other words, if you run the first three kilometers, you may end up with a breakthrough time, and you may fall apart on the last 2K and need to crawl home. If you're going to expand your comfort zone, you're going to fall on your keister pretty often, said Lamb. And if you just keep it in that safe zone, you're going to go through life living in suburbia, and you'll never know what's in your heart and soul.
