    Finally got back in the water for a cool and rainy evening. Very slow compared to last spring but it felt great. 1850y in 50 minutes.

    Swim was so sorry last night I didn't even record it.
    One of those times when swimming clarified my mind enough to see a solution that I felt compelled to get in it immediately. Never been driven to cut a swim short. But I'm in China, and when I'm here three is a while different set of pressure. Can't wait to get back home and swim before work again. That was suppressed to be today but got extended until Monday.
    Anyway, hoping to get a mind clearing 8km in tonight.

    Just over 6.4km last night. pretty good pace control the first 6km. 1:59/100m the fist 3km, 2:01 the second 3km.
    Had a nice push from 3 other front crawlers and got to 1:53/100m For the last 440 (10 laps).

    Awesome pace, @fishgutzy -- I'm way off where I was about 8 months ago where I was knocking off 2500y plus in an hour. Tonight was all I could do to get 2000 yards in 50 minutes. But it was still fantastic and I loved it all even though it was nice weather :smile:

    1600 today. I tried to use a snorkel for some kicking and only lasted 100m. It was disconcerting not to be doing regular swimming breathing.

    7km last night. I fought the urge to 'race ' the last interval and let one of the other guys set the pace. Get like I was doing a warm down pace. But when i checked, I still did 2:00/100m.
    Did a little swimming diplomacy too. Shared a couple endurance improvement tips I picked up along the way.

    24x100m. Mix of distance per stroke free and IM. Swam most of the free at 2:05 per 100 including rest which is pretty fast for me.

    Just one 7km last night.
    It wad a good swim. Most of the time shared lane with another distance front crawler. Turns out he said he swims for about 3 hours.
    A couple times we turned at the same time and he kicked up his pace to "race" me.
    His technique is like mine used to be. When i was done, I made a few suggestions based on what I've learned and works for me.
    It was cool to have that opportunity.

    That's one thing i like about the Y. When one pool is closed for service, we can use the pool at another area Y.

    Un-fortunately for me I live in a small northern town and we only have 1 pool.
    The communities within 1.5 hr drive all do the maintenance turn around at this time of year ( the chlorine injection maintenance specialists/pipe fitters - etc make an extended trip to hit all the little pools ) this reduces net costs for everyone. The nearest community that has multiple pools with offset maintenance cycles is 2.5 hrs drive so not a viable option for a quick swimtrip.
