On Monday morning I set my alarm early and headed down to the lap pool. Let's just say that things may appear larger than reality should have been a phrase added as a footnote on the website.
It may have been smaller than I would have liked, but I was able to knock out a 40 minute freestyle workout. There were two guys already swimming laps and once I arrived we took over the pool.
One of the guys told me he snuck in an hour early to beat the crowds. I gotta keep that in mind for future workouts.
Though the length of the pool left more to be desired, the resistance training I encountered swimming against the current was a bonus. It was my open version of any open swim since most pools don't have waves!
I lucked out getting there early since once I jumped out of the pool, it was invaded by people bobbing around.
I was surprised that when I glanced into the huge state of the art gym at 7am it was packed! When I went out on deck to read at 9:30, the track was packed with runners and walkers! As one old guy I encountered commented --- everyone's ambitious re fitness the first day.
