    3100 today, slowish pace but a lane to myself and worked on bilateral breathing. That means sinuses are well rinsed. 8150 yds for the week. Slowly getting back to having chlorine as a macro.

    4 miles yesterday. Next swim in China on Wednesday. I doubt I'll have the energy to swim Tuesday after I arrive after 26 his if travel. :D

    Still no water in our pool. The Maintenance Turn around found a few un-expected issues so :'(

    4 miles in a Chinese pool.
    A rare thing happened tonight. For a little while we had 4 people song the in lane oval and all doing freestyle.
    Then an old guy got in thought it was appropriate to pay blocker doing breast stroke.

    swam yesterday water down to 73....can't wait to get in today.

    kinda scared to move to the public pool feeling like I'm too slow for lane swims.

    I work out at the rec center near my house and there is a huge range of speeds. I think if you try, you just may be surprised and pleased.

    Jumped in last night to see how far I could go in an hour. Felt great, and really thought I was killing it. Then ended to find out I'm about where I was a year ago, despite pushing quite hard (for me) in the middle 1500. So... 2550y in 58 mins.

    Despite that disappointment, it was a very pleasant evening with uncrowded lanes and perfect water temp.

    I guess I need to do more sprint drills, maybe get some coaching.

    Finally got back in for a mile after 2.5 weeks off. I had left off with my best swim ever, and then the pool closed. BUT... Wait for it... (!) I had another awesome swim. I'm not the fastest fish, nor the most efficient, but it's coming together, and I found that groove again where I can swim and swim and swim (as opposed to frequent catch-my-breath pauses). It clicked in for the last 1/3 of the swim, but I got a mile + a couple of extra laps in ~50min.

    Last year at my Y the heater shut off on a Sunday night. Pool was 73 Monday morning.
    I absolutely loved it. The older swimmers didn't. They would get in for a lap or two and jump out.

    73 would not be so bad after the first few laps, but that getting in part..brrrrrrr.

    2000m solo swim

    200 free
    200 back
    200 free
    200 back
    200 free kick
    200 br kick

    At this point I intended to do the 16x 50 test set but only got ten reps done before lane was invaded!

    10x 50 free on 60
    #1 and $10 were 36s the rest were 37s. All done in 38-39 strokes. Which is faster than my 200m pace but definitely not all out.

    100 warmdown
