Today's Workout: Stranger in a pool

Up at 4:08 AM today, not planned but it couldn't be helped. Abs then off to Wakefield HS for a swim. Both of my normal pools are closed this week so I pretended that I was traveling for work and using a local pool.

The pool is likely older than I am. If you can get over all of the rust and the dimly lit room (maybe that's not a bad thing) it is suitable for my swim workouts this week. I was joined by the High School swim team--I noted that their legs whipped like the Thorpedo, impressive to view from underwater. 2,550 meters on the day--no Thorpedo or Janet Evans action in my lane. I was barely beating some of the seniors up and back.

Tomorrow, still guessing as my plan is missing a week. Probably an hour on the bike.
