  • Swimming Song

    Yesterday's late swim workout was cut short because it was unbelievably packed at the YMCA closest to my work.  I'd never seen it so busy with swim teams in 2 lanes, swim lessons in 2 other lanes, free swimming (mostly people water walking) in one lane and lap swim (me and 4 others) in the last lane.  Lots of people were waiting and I'd already gotten 2000 in so I cut it short.

    I was pretty happy with my 50's for a slow poke.  They were all under 45 seconds and my 25's were between 19.5-20.5.  500's came in at around 9:00 and the pulls and kicks were just nice and easy.  My unattainable last swim wish is to get my 1000 at 18 minutes, I'm very happy with 19 but I get 20 often enough.

    Here's the swim song that revs me up for repeats - Metric's Black Sheep
