Water-logged

Today’s workout brought me to the local pool to complete 1000 meters.

Who knew how busy the pool was going to be this evening! Luckily the guards were able to set aside an empty lane for me to use. Unfortunately a dude wanted to share my lane at the end of my workout. I am happy to share if the person is of equal speed. This dude was flailing and his stoke reminded me of a windmill. A few times I thought he was going to take me out as I passed him in the opposite lane.

My goal tonight was just to get to the pool and record my splits for a 4x100 and a 4x50. Unfortunately my lane was in a horrible position to see a clear shot of any of the timers. I did my best to estimate and round the time. Even if my times were slightly inflated because I was rounding up, they totally sucked! I guess they were fine given my lack of pool activity for the last 10+ years…but I really miss my splits back when I was a teenager. I did laugh at the 11-12 year olds training in the lane next to me. They were kicking ass. I was jealous of their skills.

It probably didn’t help that I didn’t consistently do flip turns. You gotta ease into this stuff!
