    2500m this morning.....in England!!!!!

    Was much harder than it should have been, but probably partly due to having only slept for six hours in the past 64 hours and having major jetlag!!

    1200 only. I hit snooze on my alarm clock and it meant I didn't have time for more. It was a grind but at least I got some time in.

    Only did 3km last night. Had to call my wife to make sure she got up in time. Or daughter is off to the University of Hull UK for semester. Didn't want to be late to the airport.
    I'll make it up tonight since it was a sort of rest day yesterday. Ha!

    Been there. I have found that getting a swim in as soon as possible helps with jet lag and getting my mind back in synch.
    My daughter will be landing in Manchester tomorrow morning for a semester in Hull. I'll tell her to wave in your general direction ;)

    Waiting. Patiently (or not) waiting for the pool to reopen. Running in the meantime. It's dusty and hot, and it doesn't smell like chlorine (although the forest does have a fabulous smell at this time of year)...

    6.4km. Last night. My hand ended up making one dude regret not looking before he pushed off the wall. Funny thing is he was just standing there. Then just as I stroked forward with my left he decided to lunge forward off the wall.
    I've had people that know I'm passing them pushing of the wall at the same time that I am. They are doing breast and wide frog kick. So now I have to swim wide to avoid getting kicked.
    Luckily I had the lane to myself half of the swim.

    Next Tuesday will be my last swim here for this trip unless I get enough done to the Wednesday morning off and swim at 7.
    Flight out Wednesday.

    1900 meters - mixed strokes. Thanks to Apple Watch I no longer worry about keeping track. When Apple upgrades the software in a couple of weeks, I'll let you know how the swim sets work on it.

    1700 meters. Mixed stroke. 20 minutes of kick drills, didn't count laps for kicks. I feel like such a dilettante posting my puny swims here - lol

    @ryenday I wish I'd done 1700 + kick.
    Today I swam 1200 including kick.

    Aw, I was just kvetching. @fishgutzy 's "only 7k" made me realize I'd have to swim around 4 to 5 hours to get that in.

    Also, I have a serious swimmer in the family who loves to make fun of what he calls 'my little swims', so I'm just self conscious. Lol

    The pool finally opened! I got my mile in. There was still time before class, so I put my fins on and did a little more. I too, have "little swims." But I'm the only swimmer in the family, so they seem long and fabulous to me :blush: Post 'em all! That's been such a great thing about this group for me. Even I can call myself a swimmer among this lot!

    So glad your pool opened! My little swims seem long to me too!
