2000 yards. Less people show up for swimming now, and they sign in the locker room says the pool will be closed right after MiamiMan.

My aquatic endeavors explained…
2000 yards As the race is only a week away, my need to swim twice a week is peaking. I feel chilled as I get in the pool, but I have to rush to work and discovery day tours so no delay. Besides, 200 yards in, I don't feel the pool water as cold anymore, … Continue reading Some kick that swimming is.
2000 yards. Today's swim started with an obese guy at the pool gate yelling and cursing at me because he was fumbling with his money to pay and I passed my card to be stamped ahead of him.

400m/11mi/3.1mi The fourth time I've entered this race proves to be my best ever! I came with Austin and his parents to help him do his first race.

2000 yards. This workout had kicking, and I couldn't find a good set of the loaner cut short fins, so I did it with bare feet. I am slow. The longer intervals were ok, not taxing on the breathing. I think my arms do better and I'm getting better accustomed to a straight head and … Continue reading Better and not noticing the distances as much
