Morning Swim - Ugh!

After an early morning wake for some dog sitting arrivals, "Napoleon" and I hit the pool. We swim at an "old peoples" home. It's mixed with a large childrens play ground, but in the week it's normally just us and an aqua aerobics class. The class leader has a good soundtrack so that makes the swim a little less painful.

Today was a rough swim for me, which is unusual. The swim is my strong suit, but today, probably due to the lack of breakfast and the early wake-up, I felt like a slug crawling along the bottom of the pool. However, gradually we sliced through the dry skin inducing, chlorinated water and climbed out 2200 yards later and dripped our way back to the 17f temperature awaiting us outside.

On a different note, looks like I misinterpreted the training schedule and after a "team" meeting over hoppy beers at the local, overcrowded watering hole, it was determined that we start January 2nd, 2012. Now, how's that for a fresh start to the New Year?!
