Serious Swimmers

Swam, am, 45 minutes freestyle, something just over a mile.

New discovery. Wednesday is "serious swimmer" day at my pool. Compared to Mon and Fri, it was packed. I got an in action peek at all kinds of floats, boards, and hand-attaching web-enabling contraptions. (Note to self: if you are going to swim again on Wednesday, at least upgrade from river shorts to something more serious looking.) (Another note to self: whatever you do, don't do a test ride with the bloggles on Wednesday!)

I spent some serious hours in the pool as a kid/teen. It is just that I focused on underwater tag and nerf gutterball. Some of you remember the "O.F.E. Cabana", right? Sure, my swimming form stinks now, but I wouldn't trade those summers for anything.

The real work today will be tonight's spinning.

Those were the days.. that pool was built for gutterball! I wonder if nerf gutterball was actually played anywhere else in the world?
Good for you-It sounds like you are getting a lot out of your training. The triathalon sounds like a great first goal. Maybe you'll love it so much that Hawaii will be in your future.
Perhaps E is concerned about your milk intake:-)

...and I can always ask my grocer to start stocking Gatorade Soy if I start having trouble keeping my milk down. Jack

Oh by the way- the last 2 minutes of Far and Away are the best. Just when you thought...:-)Nevermind I won't ruin it.
