Since I got to the pool to swim just as it opened, and there were lanes free on either side of me, I did a 400 yard time trial to include the mechanics of a snake swim - touch wall, duck under lane line, push off in new lane. Harder then I expected, and some more practice is needed, especially making sure I stay close to the wall when I go under the lane marker so that I can get into a good position for a good push off.

Managed to go 8:05, though I was gasping when I finished. Took a 60 break, and then finished out the first 30 minutes. Then a 2.5 minute break and another 30 minutes. Breathing much better on this half, so I will need to do a warm up on the bike or something at the race to get my breathing in a good place.

Supposed to have my annual physical this afternoon, but when that was canceled, I took the opportunity to get the first coat of stain/waterproofing on the deck.

Lots of squatting to brush dirt off since the power washing was done a couple of weeks ago. Darn that flying junk from the trees! Surprised that my knees did not object. Glad the deck is sort of on the small side though.



Deck is in pretty good shape for 25 years old.
