    A short swim today. It was one of those days where I just seemed to be completely out of sync. It was a struggle, managed to get in 1200m of mixed strokes. That's what happens when you are struggling. @fishgutzy hope the interview went well.

    I got in an 80 lap swim before the interview in Cedar Rapids. Was planning 110 but something had my digestive tract a little upset and nature cut me to 80.
    110 laps today . 5km. Planning a second swim later to make at least 5 miles for the day. If I can knock out another 110 laps it will be a 10km day.

    As far as the interview? Hard to tell. I didn't soak my shirt with nervous sweat. I did have a couple brain freezes where some basic stuff threw me. But over all I think it went well.

    Missed a few days of posting.
    I have been doing quite a few of my 750m Tri-Athlon Swim Time Trials along with some drills and ladder sets. Avg out to 1600 - 2200m per set. The school year is just ending so the Pool promises to get over run with kids filling in free time.
