nice pool!

after the inclement early morning...the late morning was beautiful...i packed up all my swim gear and all my books to bike over to campus to find the pool...wow...what a nice facility...the gym is huge and i didn't even explore that much...i saw many squash courts...cardio equipment...and indoor track...huge locker room...and great pools...i swam 35 minutes continuously...one stop for a goggle adjustment...and two 10-15 second rest but other than that i was swimming...it felt good to be able to do that...i had been worried after the swim clinic 200 time trial that i wasn't going to be able to swim well at long distances...the time trial left me winded and feeling very tired...but this swim felt great...i really took the time to focus on the technique...and when i hit it i could feel it...zoom

classes were uneventful...but i got an 84.37 on my chem test! made me happy...class average...~60...still it means i need a 95 on the next test to be exempt from the final...thermodynamics here we come...i'm going to give it my best shot...

evening bike workout near southwest parkway...interval loops in the neighborhood...it was fun to push it on the bike...i didn't look at my top speed but i know it was probably pretty fast...at least it felt that way...5x2minutes hard 5 recovery...~1h...we got a new assistant bike coach...Catherine!!! (Katherine? not sure which spelling...)...we ran together last winter...introduced by amy of course...so that is super fun...

it's early...but i'm headed out to IMAZ woo woo! to mark bodies and cheer on mark...and a few others that i know who are racing...so probably no posts for a few days...i know you are all very sad...but i promise i'll make it up to you upon my return...happy weekend
