Swimming--It's been a while!

Today I got in the water for the first time since August 15 and in the pool for the first time since July 20. Yikes, it's been a long time! It didn't feel like it; in fact, I actually enjoyed the entire 600. Surprising. It was 200 warm up, 300 pull, 100 sprint (25 yards each, 20 seconds rest; 17.64, 18.21, 19.5, 18.99). Short and sweet.

Tonight was a ride with the Harpeth Club from Cool Springs. Stats from previous weeks and tonight are below. Tonight's ride was quite different since I was there riding with a friend. Even though it was super slow, we got to see an amazing sunset!
