I swam, again!
Twice in 1 week! AMAZING!
My bum ankle has kept me from running this week, so I’ve been swimming to make sure I stay in shape (relatively). This is the beauty of training for a triathlon. It’s really hard to get an injury that can stop you from training completely.
Today, I did 1200m non-stop (48 laps)! I didn’t start running out of juice until lap 40. I cranked out the last few laps just to get to a nice round number. 
I am not a fast swimmer. I am faster than the guys that just go for a few laps, but most of the guys that do laps are faster than me. It took me a few monthes of going 3 times a week to become a “distance” swimmer. I am so glad I didn’t lose that ability. 
Tomorrow, I think I’ll get some biking in to give my ankle a bit more time to heal.
Oh, almost forgot to mention something. I’ve never gone to the Cerritos pool on a weekend before. I’ve always gone around 7am on a weekday. Man, there are a lot more people on the weekend. There are tons of kiddies taking lessons. And in the deeper end, there are people doing some syncronized swimming. I could hear the music in the water! How cool!
Anyway, that’s all. GO ME!

Awesome news on the swim, but sorry to hear the ankle is still bugging you. You were starting to hobble around on it and the long walk at the studio from the parking structure to the commissary and back prolly didn’t help.
