swimming

Got up and hit the pool today. Swam with the tri-club as I thought there would be some paperwork for me to sign at the pool as the club's new swim co-ordinator but our old co-ordinator had looked after it and I did not get the e-mail until I got to work today. He needs to learn my life secret and that is DELEGATE!! But was good to swim in the 50 meter pool as that is as close to an open water swim that I will get before Sunday. The weather forcast keeps changing...and not for good. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sucks.
The swim was good. Not all that fast but pretty steady. One of the guys is being coached by Mark Allen and is kind enough to put his swim workouts on the board for all of us to do. Lots of longer steady stuff. Just my kind of swim!!
Next up is a hard bike ride tomorrow...I am doing it outside no matter what. Will have to bundle up and maybe wear rain gear. Oh the fun of living on the prairies!!!
