I did the Corvallis Triathlon yesterday (1k swim, 12k bike, 4k run). I won my age group, but I think there were only three people in it. I also improved over a minute from last year, with a time of 58:42, but the running course was a little bit different.
This morning we had a two hour practice with Corvallis, in which we swam 7100 meters. The main set was this:
1×100
1×300
1×200
2×300
1×300
3×300
1×400
4×300
A few hours later, we had another two hour practice at our own pool. This one was only 4300 yards, but our main set was 3×400 IM’s for time. My times were 4:52, 4:54 and 4:55.
I never want to do a 400 IM again.
Overall, we swam 6.85 miles today.
We (the Oregon All-Star team) got back from Canada yesterday afternoon, after a three-day meet. It was UberFun and I brought back two Bronze medals (800 free and 100 fly).
Unfortunately, at the meet, my iPod was stolen! 
There’s a rumor that new iPods will be coming out in June though, so I’ll wait to buy a new one.
Here are my times:
100 free: 1:01.45
200 fly: 2:30.24
200 IM: 2:34
200 free: 2:12.02
100 fly: 1:06.98
800 free: 9:55
And some pictures from the trip…
I’m leaving for Canada tomorrow for All Stars. The meet will be held at the Canada Games Pool in Vancouver, BC.
I won’t be checking my email while I’m gone, but I’ll be back on Monday.
Kate let Andrew and me take home the Ghetto Board halves, so I personalized mine according to my assumed name:
I’ve been trying to think of a good idea for an app to work on for The Byte Factory. I’ve seen several cool apps recently, but I can’t think of anything myself.
Any ideas?
Nooo!!! This can’t be happening!
I have to haul and stack this wood.
I was typing out a graphics-based Java program today from a book (I’m still learning the language). But when I compiled and ran the program, all was not well. So after about 10 minutes of examining the code and populating the methods with System.out.println() statements, I discovered that paintComponent() wasn’t getting called. Why? Because there was a typo in the method signature. I know this was my fault, but if Java required all methods to have a declaration, the compiler would have issued an error message and this wouldn’t have happened.
