Excellent, tribogota! Welcome back!

Roadie Gal - I had that feeling at last weeks OWS. There were so many boats on the lake that it was rough. I could swim in it, but I was getting really sick to my stomach. It makes me think that I'll never be able to do ocean swims (I'm very prone to motion sickness)!

I swam on Monday - 2000y, my longest swim yet (in a pool). It was super crowded though! I had all my stuff at the end of the lane and was getting in when my cap ripped (like a huge hunk ripped off!), so I had to run into the locker room for a spare. When I got out, three people were getting into my lane (the other person who had been in it had left) with those noodle things. I grabbed my stuff and moved to a different lane and the guy I joined said "man, you got bumped out of the cherry lane? bummer!". I thought that was funny. Anyway, I did my whole workout even though there were people who were waiting. Why none of them asked to join us or any of the other lanes is beyond me. Every lane (except for the noodle lane) had 2 people in it. Of course, half of the people were barely swimming so circle swimming could have been an issue I guess.

I just ordered a replacement cap, a lycra cap and a poly suit. I was seriously over-heating in the pool and I realized that all of my suits are overly baggy in the body. I actually ordered the poly suit in a size that is 3 sizes smaller than my current suits (same brand and style). Yay for weight loss!

Today is OWS after work. I'm excited. I think I now prefer it to the pool swimming!
