Haven't swam yet. Will probably get in tomorrow. I don't expect to do as much yardages this month as I get in more bike and, when allowed, runs.
Nice start of month for you though.. fantastic!

Proud member of FISHTWITCH: doing a bit more than fish exercise now.

Thanks. Must make hay while the sun shines (well, when it's not raining) in Oregon.
I want to swim some best times at a two day meet mid-April, AND I want to accumulate USMS prizes (my 50 mile cap will be mailed soon!) so I will probably be swimming lots :-)

Got the month started with a nice easy 5k-ish swim in La Jolla. Cove-Pier-Cove.

Volume is cutting back in all training this week as I start to taper for IM Cabo, but I'll be swimming almost every day still..

Get outside!

Don't say that outside the fish thread...it's like talking to a wall... ;)

My normal pool is ~1.5mi away....but no pace clock, or any clock now, and a multitude of other issues... So I traveled about 20min to that other 24hr fitness because they have a pace clock, and when I went there the other week, the pool was high 70's/low 80's.... Well, show up today, the pace clock is not working...out of batteries and they don't have any spare ones...a swimmer told me it is always running out of batteries... So I hop in, but it is scorching! Maybe 85-86+ degrees...I ask the swimmer about that... Is it because of the aqua class in a couple hours? No, it's always like this, the heater was broke last week... Got the approval from the boss to get a more expensive membership at a place with a good pool for swimming. There is a Lifetime Fitness maybe 10min from me...anyone know what their lap pools are like? 24hr doesn't have gutters either...a slosh fest...

.but no pace clock, or any clock now//

You know for the past 3 years or so i have almost never used pace clocks, unless they are the big digital ones. I start my timex watch and now it is nothing to get my times off it. In my glide to the wall i look towards my wrist and by the time my eyes have focused on the number, i hit the wall. I can even now do flips and a little delay to get intermediate splits, but lose about a second each time. It is way more accurate than your standard pace clock, that moving hand just gives me a 2 to 3 second ballpark off in the distance.

Yeah, I'm looking to but a digital watch/stopwatch for the pool...want a big one though, to leave on deck, as I can't stand wearing a watch while swimming...

MMMM warm day.. uuughhh warm pool
