This season we've had a number of swimmers try out the P90X workout system as a supplement to their normal in-water training. Since it appears that times are significantly faster this season among this group, it seems to have really helped our swimmers, at least in terms of conditioning. (For the most part, they look better on deck, too --and as we all know that's the most important thing.)

Anyway, a big group of swimmers started the program in November, meaning that they're entering the final week(s) of the three-month program. Earlier, Dan sent a message asking how the program should be used for the rest of the season, and whether or not is would be advisable to lift on off-days (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays) rather than on the in-water training days. There's a lot to think about here: Is it better to lift and swim on the same day? Should there be a two-week break at the end of the P90X program before starting it up again for the rest of the season. (As advised by the book?)

Finally, when can we start eating the Bacon Cheese Turtleburgers again? (That would be a burger topped with cheese, wrapped in a shell of woven bacon, with arms, legs and tail made from hot dogs.)
