Today's swim felt like it was through molasses. Didn't make it to the pool before masters swim started. And the lake I swim in is experiencing a fish die off and smells rancid, so no OWS for me tonight. Bah.

Fell 5 miles into my 8 mile long run this weekend and skinned my knee. Took Tuesday off from the pool because my knee was oozing. Went swimming today and the pool sloffed off my scab, bah. I'm frustrated because open swim season started Tuesday and I'm going to wait a little longer to get in the lake
Also, signed up for an aquabike at the end of July on a whim - it's half ironman length, so 1.2 mile swim and a 56 mile bike. One of my hesitations for committing to half ironman is that I'm not sure I can get through the swim in the time limit. This aquabike is cheap ($60), so if I don't make it through the swim, I'll know I need to radically shake up my swim training. And if I do make it, then I'll be more confident in training for a half ironman next year.
Master's swim today, substitute coach who kicked my behind
