So we have a "swim rant" thread, but I wanted to post my "swim happy" moment today, probably brought on by being out of the water for over a week.
Pool reopened after maintenance + clear, fresh perfect temp water + 6 lap lanes between 4 lap swimmers = 4200yd :bliss:

Once again I have to be away from here & come back to read all kinds of good news. Inspiring!
Walden Pond swimming! I look forward to that sometime. Perhaps sooner than later. :)
The last few weeks have been wild for me with my spouse in the hospital for eight days, major abdominal surgery. (Home recovering, all is well.) That and the unpredictable crazy that comes in life and I've gotten very little sleep along with only swimming once or twice a week. This week is better in that I'm back all week and we are tapering for our home meet this weekend. I want to scoop up two more state records so I'll have all the 50-54 breaststroke events in my name. If I can manage rest this week it is possible.
One thing that did make me very happy was to find out I made two USMS Top 10s this year! 8th and 9th in the 100 and 50 ***, respectively. As our coach hashtags, #OlderFaster. :banana:
