Swim happy

I'm very happy with my 4 sessions of lake swimming last week!! We were in Penticton, across the road from the lake, and the pool was closed. So, I went into the water at 6:10am, 6:40am, 6:00am and 5:45am over the 4 days. (Later meant waves and people.) I swam a total of 2km+ each time. I stayed shallow. :)

Last week's lake swimming made me stronger. I was shocked at my warmup times in the pool today. And I'm very happy with my new 50m PR of hi-38sec, down from lo-39sec.

I'm happy for my almost 2 mile swim in Rhode Island yesterday with Dan. Water was a toasty 72F, with chop and rain. Still better than sitting in the office! 12153

Hit 50 miles for the year and going strong.

Super happy with my swim today. Last swim in the oddly-shaped Mirabella pool in Boston. 42 years per length. :dunno: Put in two miles (technically, 3528 yards...yes) and at one point, was swimming with this huge, really old lady. 12155

Hit 50 miles for the year and going strong. I just got to 60 miles for 2019. It's not clear if I'll make 100 miles for the calendar year. I've never done that (although I've done more for August 1 to July 31).

If I was any happier there would be two of me. My 400m PR of 6:27 was many weeks old. As I drove to the pool today, with a hard 400m in mind, I believed that sub 6:20 was in the cards. 45sec at 50m...."calm down!"......1:32 at 100m....."yikes!!".......3:07 at 200m...."feeling good....when do I hit the wall and die?".....4:41 at 300m......"I still feel ok!! I am going to kill this!!" 6:15 at 400m. :) I have 7 more months to figure out how to be SUB SIX. (My sig.) I'm much less than a pool length away!! :)

:applaud: Congratulations, Skuj! :cheerleader:

I just got to 60 miles for 2019. It's not clear if I'll make 100 miles for the calendar year. I've never done that (although I've done more for August 1 to July 31). It's worth a shot. :D

I am very happy with my new 200m PR of 2:57.0, down 2sec from my previous best from a few weeks ago.
