Why is it that I can’t read pool schedules? I think swim schedules must be in a different language or something. After deciphering all of the footnotes and special closures, I had determined that the only pool open at UBC today was the indoor pool. 3km indoors flipping every 25m, sigh. Why oh why? I wasn’t looking forward to it, to say the least.

You can imagine my surprise when I discovered the empty outdoor pool. 50m, a lifeguard, and only two other swimmers. I had no sunscreen. For a millisecond, I worried about my perfect two piece tan lines that would be screwed up by my indoor only racing suit. [chuckle] Then I stepped outside, ah heaven! I rattled off this workout feeling good, but a little rushed for time. That’s the problem with swimming in the middle of your work day. I had to skip the 7th 300m rep, and cut the cool down a little short.
