3 lbs and $14

SWIM 2000y in ~50 mins, rotation and kick drill sets
COMMUTE 6 miles

Some IronHumor to remember.

The other morning I awoke in the middle of the night needing to use the bathroom. I futzed with my watch to get the time -- 12:50. NUTS, I think, that's it?! Later on in the morning I realize that wasn't the chronological time, rather it was my stopwatch time for B2B! I haven't erased it yet!

At my swim on Friday I again marveled at how heavy my swim gear bag was. How could swimming weigh so much?! So I brought the bag in the house as a prompt to get it cleaned up and see why it was so heavy. Last night I got to that errand. It started out weighing 10 pounds. I found numerous swim caps (SavageMan, Swim The Sun, B2B, and Tri Club), uncounted baggies to keep my workout cards dry on the deck, and $14 in the front pocket. Those bills were from my days at Master's swims back in early 2012!

I managed to remove 3 lbs of gear and garbage from the bag, and although doing so really didn't clear up usable space it was needed! And profitable!

Today's swim was 8x50 drills then 4x50 swimming the drill. The first drill was for rotation: hold a kickboard between your thighs and rotate until you feel the 'slap' of the board against the surface of the water. (This was hard to do given my thigh gap!). The second drill was with an ankle band, still kicking so not like my other ankle band. I'm not sure I understood this drill.

After that, 4x100 on 2 mins (I managed 1:50, 1:55, 1:56, 1:57) and 8x50 consistent. I was consistently tired by that point!

Great warm day outside, 71F last I checked but a polar vortex is due to arrive and chill things off. Booo!

Does Billie Van Josef make sense?
