2000m Thurs

swam a mile before the swim circuit class.
in which I decimated my mate (all friendly competition
) and did 2 lengths under water!! we got 10 breaths in the middle, so I was doing really slow pilates style breathing and made it all the way back with the brick!!! feel fan-frickin-tastic!! 1 -

Back Home after a week of Travel for work. It would be 7-8 pm each night before getting back to the Hotel so to late for an evening run outside since there were no sidewalks or trails and the roads were just to dangerous - no street lights and heavy ( Big ) truck traffic. I despise dreadmills - especially Hotel ones.
Tried the pool one night and it was a uncontrolled disaster - lane ropes were a suggestion. People would swim under them crossways, sit on top of them etc. After "swimming" into 6-7 people who mysteriously appeared in the middle of the lane I gave up. Made me think of @fishgutzy and some of his China experiences.

My youngest has started high school swim team and they could not have chosen a pool farther from my house. OK, that's an exaggeration, but good grief. They practice 7-9pm, so instead of leaving work, swimming, and then going home for the night, I go home, make dinner, eat something small, drive to the other side of town, swim and bring her home. Tonight, she actually swims at a pool even farther out, so she'll take the bus and I'll swim at my usual pool. I decided to buy in to the pool she swims most often at and went last night. It was pretty good. They have a much better hot tub than we do, lol. So, 40 laps for last night. High hopes for tonight...2
