Low volume, high frequency

Hello,

I’ve been swimming 7 days a week for about 3 years, taking only 1 day off here and there. Probably about 10 days off in 3 years. I swim 1.500 yards each session. I can do that in about 22 mins. I feel good and not tired or overtrained. My question is, what am I missing out on from a more traditional approach to training? ( I’m not a competitive swimmer. I swim to supplement my surfing and my yoga).

Cyprus should impose property citizenship restrictions

Local people need the protection. Let’s learn from Indonesia. They have the leasehold/freehold system where foreigners cannot generally outright own property only long term lease. Cyprus needs to implements this yesterday but they probably never will.

Low tide at Trestles

By six in the morning, the trail to Trestles was already alive with bicycles, boards, and men pretending not to hurry.

Nico carried a battered 5'10" under his arm and walked beside Lena, who had flown in from Lisbon three nights earlier and had not yet decided whether she loved him or merely loved California. The marine layer hung over the coast like an unanswered question.

At Lowers, the waves arrived with mechanical perfection: dark blue walls rising from nowhere, bending around the cobblestones and peeling toward shore. Nico watched one surfer launch above the lip, rotate against the gray sky, and land cleanly.
“Everything here is about release,” Lena said.
“What does that mean?”
She shrugged. “Everyone paddles around tense for an hour, waiting for ten seconds when they can stop controlling themselves.”
Nico laughed, but the sentence stayed with him.

They surfed until the crowd became hostile. Nico caught three good waves and ruined two better ones by thinking too much. On his last ride, he drove hard off the bottom and climbed toward the lip. For one moment, the entire wave opened in front of him—smooth, hollow, inevitable.
He stopped trying.

The board accelerated. Spray burst behind him. Something inside his body seemed to uncoil all at once, a deep involuntary spasm of pleasure so sudden and complete that he nearly fell.

When he reached the channel, he lay motionless on the board.
Lena paddled over.
“You all right?”
“I think I just ejaculated.”
She stared at him.
“From the wave,” he added.
“That clarification did not help.”

Back on shore, they sat among the stones while trains passed behind them. Nico kept his wetsuit tied around his waist and looked out at the lineup with the embarrassment of a man who had accidentally revealed his religion.
Lena handed him half a crushed banana.
“Was it good?”
“The wave?”
“The ejaculation.”
He considered this seriously.
“It was confusing.”
“Most revelations are.”
A clean set approached. Dozens of surfers turned and began paddling at once, each convinced the wave had come specifically for him.
Lena rested her head against Nico’s shoulder.

“California,” she said, “is the only place where a man can have an orgasm in the ocean and still be disappointed he didn’t get barreled.”
Nico watched the wave break perfectly without him.
For once, he did not feel that he had missed anything.
