Swim, Swam, Swum...

Is swum even a word? Must be, as my spell-checker didn't underline it in red.

Anyways, I'm very proud to report that I wen to the pool today. I'm even more proud to say that I did NOT DIE! Hadn't been in a pool for at least five years, but since cycling has given me a little bit better aerobic engine, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I actually worked out for about 30 minutes and did 600 meters of interval work. For a "real" swimmer, that's pathetic. But for those of us that swim like three-legged water buffalo, I felt pretty good about it!

Then Johnny GoFast and I did a little TT work while we watched the Tour of California. Gotta love the DVR. Recorded the tour while I was at an afternoon concert and watched it tonight. Got in a good 2-hour session and really dialed in my position. And I had a nice long chat with a good friend who is a fantastic triathlete and got a bunch of great pointers.

I think I can do this triathlon thing....

At least I'm excited about it and looking forward to the training. A lot of swimming, biking and running in my immediate future. But, hey, what else am I gonna do to keep myself off the streets, right?

If anybody's reading this, drop me a line. I miss you guys!
