Eau Du Chlorine

Well, it's done. And it didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. Makes me wonder what it would be like if I had actually trained for it...

Anyway, we did a 20 minute swim (I swam 1450yds), a 10km bike, and 5km run. I was pretty slow on my transitions and Mimi and I got lost in the woods on the run so it took me longer than it should have... We weren't timing it anyway. I know I finished the whole thing in under an hour and a half, but that's the best estimate I have. Now I just have to take a nap and stay hydrated for the big party tonight....

Starting doing 200 IMs on 3:30. Each rep's interval got 5 seconds faster. When I couldn't make IMs anymore I switched to freestyle (same distance) and when I couldn't make those I dropped a 50 and went back to IM. We ended at the 35 second interval.

Was v. sore from my fitness test. The reason I swim and the reason I do dolphin kick off walls is so I don't have to do push-ups or crunches, respectively. The only time I do them is during my fitness test.

I don't know how many yards we did, but it was a lot.

I tried to go swimming today but the pool was closed due to mechanical problems.
