Swimmy

I went swimming yesterday. How is that it is so much more complicated then getting all the bike gear on and out the door for a ride? Already misplaced (or lost if I don't find) my goggles. It felt good to get some form of exercise. I used to be a pretty good swimmer, 200IM was my thing. Yesterday was during open swim at Ballard which meant crosswise with kid bobbing back and forth across the lane. Still OK just LOTS of turning around hard to get in a rhythm. One thing about swimming if I do it for 30-40 minutes continually I am starving when I get out and yesterday I realized actually very thirsty. Still it seems to be so much more consuming of time to get ready and get in the pool than to put on all the lycra, helmet, shoes, gloves, goo, water bottles, ipod etc. Why is that?

I was going to swim at the IMA today but it seemed like too much work that early in the morning to remember everything... Uh, Swimsuit, goggles (if I could find them).

Hmmm.



Anyway it seems that swimming can be for everyone... if we only put forth the effort. ;p
