The morning swim was pretty fun. I like short sets on 100s, even if there isn't a lot of rest between them. I think my lane did a pretty good job with the intervals Evan gave us, and it felt like a good, strong workout to me.

The afternoon swim was just kind of a lark. I played softball on Tuesday night with Kimberley and Ann and we all decided to swim at lunch today. I messed around, mostly, but then Kimberley and I figured out a way to sort of mimic open water by not touching the walls and making wide turns at each end of the pool without touching the bottom. I did pretty good - 500 meters in about ten minutes (which is pretty much right on for me). We'll see if I can do similarly in the Boulder Reservoir in a week and a half.

Yup, I'm doing another triathlon already. Kimberley asked if I wanted to do it, and with a 500 meter swim, I couldn't say no, heh. Also, the fund raising for this one is done where you can pick a charity, so I'm doing mine for the Western Border Collie Rescue. My donation page is here, if anyone is interested:

So yeah, the tri is on Saturday, June 6 in Boulder. The swim is 500m in a clockwise square into the reservoir and the buoys are on the right, which means I should have a better time spotting them in this case. Then there is a 17 mile bike ride (I should be able to do this in just under an hour if I can keep myself at my 18 MPH pace that I did last time) and another 5K run. Not bad. I don't mind the longer bike ride for the shorter swim. :)
