Still swimming

Pre-Clearwater swim #3 complete. That's about all I can really report. The public swims aren't the most conducive to great training, but there weren't as many people there tonight, so it was possible to keep doing the work I wanted to do without too many interruptions.

I did run into one of the others from my club who is also headed for Florida. And by run into, I mean that literally. During my first warm-up lap, she was coming the opposite direction hugging the same lane rope. I guess it was her first time at the swim and wasn't sure how it was organized. We collided, had that stunned "What happened? Was it me?" moment, then got back to the task at hand. I felt pretty good in the water tonight, better than last week. My times were solid, and the form felt right (or as close to right as my form ever feels). Maybe I won't just keep my edge in the next month or two, but if I can shave a few more seconds off, I'll be even happier. Maybe I won't be last out of the water.

1x400 pull, HIM effort, 1' (6:55)
