I set my alarm for 6:30, planned on being out the door at 7:15 and in the pool by 7:30. Right. So, I hit snooze until 8:15, got out the door at 8:20 and in the water at 8:35. This gave me 25 minutes to swim whatever I could in 25 minutes. I was so… Continue reading first water, running a wee bit late

Long course never felt so good. I think I’m getting used to this 50m pool thing. And I’m sure that’s a good thing because that’s a man-sized chunk of water.
