Catching up
Haha – so much for my productivity breakthrough. Actually the productivity breakthrough is totally legit, but dammit, life, you get in my way. Monday started slow, which meant I didn’t have all of my desk stuff done by our 11:00 meeting with the Home Depot door guy (who turned out to be a friend’s husband – cool. Or not-so-cool – Home Depot doesn’t do in-door blinds for custom size doors. Guess what size our door is. So we called the original Window World guy and he’s coming out on Wednesday – yet ANOTHER January meeting to steal my time and will to live.)
I worked on a bunch of life stuff, and took the kids to piano when they got home from school. (Oh, forgot that I talked to Marcus Wadsworth about Bournemouth)
Tuesday was a productivity wasteland, but not my fault – I coached in the morning, coached from 1-2, went over to school to help with Feeding Friends, ran home with Alex, took a shower, went to a 50 Years in Education celebration of our Principal and then straight there to coaching that evening. I am excused from working on the business, the website, the blog or the Channel that day.
Today, we had the door meeting (which got suddenly moved up), but I am reconciled because we have finally made a decision and shouldn’t have to work on this any more. Plus, we’ll be able to get out of our house. Yay!
OK, enough catching up – here’s where today really starts:
I got in to Tim Denyer’s camp and I’m going. Yay!!!
May 3-9 – Croatia here I come!
Open Water Training Camps with Red Top Swim
Now I get to deal with the joy of travel insurance, flights and international wire transfers. Oh goody. No, wait, hang on the joy. Must. Hang. On. To. The. Joy. Hmmm – maybe once everything’s arranged.
I just realized that I haven’t talked about the camp decision-making process. There were A LOT of good camps in the running, and a lot of it just came down to dates, etc. Thanks sooooo much to all of those who talked to me about their camps – I’d like to get to all of them over the years!
And here is the Cold Water Swim Camps Comparison Chart that made it all possible.
Wrightsville Beach Training
I also initiated a conversation with my Raleigh and Wrightsville OW peeps about how to train efficiently this spring. I’ve decided it’s just two damn cold in February for a 4-hour round trip. I’m not ready for a long time in 51 degree water yet. But March and April are looking good to drive down, swim, stay over, swim, so that I can get a bunch of OW swimming in without having to drive to the beach and back every single week. Should be perfect training for Croatia in May (100,000 meters for the week – eek!)
