Making Lemonade & 100 days until Ironman Texas!
 |
| Not from today... but this was the wetsuit I donned at the pool |
So, today I made some lemonade out of a lemon situation. The pool heater at my gym is on the fritz. I swam on Monday and they said it was 76 degrees. There's no way. It had to be closer to 74 or below. I did a 3000yd (with sets) swim and I can assure you it dropped my body temperature, because I could not get warm for the rest of the day/ night. (snicker, snicker... yes, I'm a pansy).
I was scheduled for another 3,000y swim today. So, rather than skip the swim, I brought my wetsuit. It was glorious! I did a straight swim and finished in record time. I felt like I was cheating it was so easy, but I pushed hard, so my arms are definitely feeling it.
Anyway... I'm getting the workouts in and done without excuses! 100 days until Ironman Texas! Someone please get me a paper bag to blow in to!

wetsuit in your pool to beat the broken heater = ASS KICKER !!! Great job !
Great job for not using it as an excuse!!!
What a great way to get some wetsuit training completed! I hope the weather gets warmer soon because I am headed to SA at the end of the month. I don't want to have cold weather when I am there! Do you think you could arrange that for me? ;)
I am a northerner and I cant stand when the pool heater is on the fritz, like it is now at my pool, like you my temp dropped, then I have to go out in the single digit weather to get home, I hate it
Genius. Pure Genius.
IMTX waits for no one and you are going to own it. Congrats on the smart swim move.
