Improving is Fun
It was a time trial in the pool today. I knew it and I was looking forward to it. I’m amazed at my major shift in attitude. The pool no longer intimidates the H – E – double hockey sticks out of me. During the run, I was talking to Madeline [...]

Swim, bonk, run /work all afternoon, then bonk again
I had a complete bonk after the swim workout today (tears and all) triggered by having to swim too long on the time trial. I immediately ate a powergel and a bannana and drank a bunch of water. It took about a half hour til I was feeling myself again. I had another complete bonk [...]
