So if my thighs felt like they had knives in them on Wednesday morning, today it was more like forks. Sprinting today was HARD, man. Ouch. Though I am pretty proud of that 1:25. Not horrible! Progress is being made! Or something.

I did, however, decide I wanted to try and inhale the whole pool today. It was awesome.

Not much to say about the actual workout, but two things related to people I swim with.

1. There's this guy named Lazlo that swims in lane one with us. The guy is definitely faster than Lori and I, and he laps me usually at least once a practice. He's also horrible at getting the intervals right (he was totally pushing us at 1:15 on the 1:30 free, and then taking 2:00 on the 1:45 non). Personally, I think he should be bumped to lane two, if he wants to swim that fast. In those 100 sprints he was getting 1:16. Lori and I were hovering around 1:30 (I think she got 1:27 both times).

2. I met this gal named Jenny today who swims in lane two. We chatted in the lockerroom before practice, and ended up in the showers at the same time afterward. And... well, really, the only thing I can say is wow is she in good shape. She's tiny and muscular and probably doesn't have an ounce of body fat hidden anywhere. I am massively covetous. Beyond that, she's funny and nice and she's more at my level as far as swimming skill (she doesn't swim fly, paces just a little faster than me in everything else). She might kinda be my hero, heh. I'm sure she could whip my ass in any triathlon (she's going to do the same one in Windsor that I want to do in May), but that's perfectly fine with me.

Okay, enough of that. Off to work and stuff. Wee.
