    When ya gonna swim, Carlton?

    I want to get the swim miles in, but I may not have enough time and energy to get to it this month. The pool swim lanes have been busy in the evenings. Also, I joined a local Tri team (Swim-Bike-Run) to compete in the USA Triathlon National Challenge this month (http://www.race-tracker.net/usat/standings_athletes.cfm). We're competing with 87 other teams to compile the most running mileage for the month of February. We're in 2nd place in our division and 5th place overall right now. I'm trying to stay in the top 100 group of runners through the end of the month. I'm currently ranked 73rd out of over 1,100 people.


    You are awesome!

    Agree, that is fantastic!
