I have no idea how cold the water was in the pool outdoors but it took me 12 laps to get warm. Last weekend it took between 2 and 4 laps. I am betting the water is under 80. It was just a but chilly at first.
The pool was officially closed last week, on October 1, so I snuck in, and was surprised when another man and his young daughter joined me: they also climbed over the fence.
I swam for 30 minutes, at a pretty fast clip, as I wanted to swim faster than the other guy in the pool. Which I did, but not by much.
I made the decision to stay off the bike for a month and also not walk, so swimming is it for the next month. I am planning on swimming every other day for the next month.

Welcome!
Welcome to my daily blog about me exercising. Sounds exciting? Not. But if you are a FOD (Friend of Doug) or looking for a virtual workout bud, read on. Throughout the year I hope to ride in RAGBRAI as well as in Italy. I have ridden in Italy the past three years and done the RAGBRAI once, as well as the Ride The Rockies 3 times. Also the NY Marathon three times. And I bill myself as the world's slowest triathlete. Truly! Hard to find anyone who trains regularly who is slower than I am! No brag. Just fact. Enjoy.
