2 PM

Strength 30:00 [2]

3x12 ameliorated swim lift.
6 PM

Swim 1:15:00 [3] 1.93 mi (1.5 mph)

logging 1:15 but i was actually at the pool for about 2 hours. first an overly late water polo game delayed my start, then had to deal with 4 uncooperative lane-mates. the first two people were nice but just wayyy too chatty. the third was a pool regular, PBCSO-guy, who is notoriously difficult to swim with, and he lived up to that reputation today first insisting that we circle swim, then grabbing my arm *as im swimming* to change his mind to splitting the lane, then switching back later to circle. lane-mate #4 just jumped into this chaos and started circle swimming without the customary "at the wall chat" to discuss how we can all swim and not collide. i had some words for him, and then he left. sorry!! but maybe the crazy was good because i was super motivated for my last 5 50s...grrrrrr fast!
