The water temperature of our outdoor pool was 75 degrees this morning (air temp of 76). We worked out with the age groupers and it was a real struggle--never did feel right. Couldn't go inside because that would have been a sign of weakness, especially knowing that my daughter was in the pool. Today I actually felt my age. I don't remember it being that difficult. Maybe I just need more body fat. Pass the Twinkies, Geek.

Believe me, I have the most body fat here because I'm overweight and I don't like temperatures under 80 degrees either. When I was a teenager and not overweight I hated meets where the temperature was low but you could not do a warmup during the meet to use to the water. A couple of meets I got DQ because I didn't have a chance to adjust to the water, and did some freestyle in a fly race because I was having trouble breathing.
