Swam (kind-of) for real for the first time yesterday. Morning swim with Enrique was nice and relaxing. My hamstrings we surprisingly tight – probably from yard work this weekend (whoo-hoo to soon having a manageable yard!!!). Then got in about 3000 with Wave in the afternoon. Felt OK and not too slow. We talked for a while – about my swim and about the meet the kids did this past weekend. Lots of big time drops for them – very cool. Two of them wanted to guess my age – 30 was flattering, but not too flattering because by middle school you’ve learned to low-ball it, but when I said they were way off they went 25 – THAT was flattering. Then I sang myself happy birthday which was way more awkward than I anticipated. But got us a minute extra rest before starting 10×200 on 2:40.
