No, I did not have one of those nights!

It all starts with a few sideways glances, then concerned looks, then someone will inevitably say quietly "Are you okay"? This happens more often than I would like. It's called "early morning meeting right after swimming". Yes, my goggle marks are still fresh on my face but I'd like to think I am my usual cheerful self. Apparently I look like I had a rough night with those perfect circles around my eyes. Maybe I will come up with a button or a sign that says: If you did 3600 yards you'd look like this too!

So today was a wee bit sparse in the entire pool, not to mention Lane 3. Just E and me, and it was a nice set. I will admit that I didn't get a ton of sleep so almost fell asleep during the warmup but when I started inhaling water I snapped right out of it.

We swam the first one even pace and pulled the second one. Both of us worked the last one and I was happy holding 1:18s. Where is Steve B? Bob S? Carmen? Haven't seen you guys all week.

Special note: Cort said he is so inspired by these workouts that he will be hanging up his bike shoes and joining us. At least that is what I think I heard but I could be wrong because it was really noisy.

A final thank you to Bob B. for filling in yesterday!
