Notes
First time in the pool in a long long time. I figured there was no time like now to start training for the swim portion for this half ironman than now. I'm guessing the time swimming was about 13 minutes, and took a short break almost each of the 10 laps of the pool I swam and a minute or two break to swim over to the side and talk to my girlfriend. I may bring my watch into the pool next time, it is meant for triathlon athletes so I don't think the pool will ruin it, so next swim I'll have a much better idea of how long it took me to swim, and hopefully won't have to stop and catch my breath so much. I think the expression "fish out of water" didn't quite fit my swim tonight....more like throwing a cougar in the ocean. But all in all I had fun and as long as I do some fairly regular training in the pool I should be well enough prepared to make the swim portion of the competition.
