Lost a Minute Somewhere (Somehow!)

All 4 angels for the Monday trek for run / pool! Cloudy but no wind and only a few drops of rain as we started the 'run'!

A quick 200 'warm up' in the pool, followed by a second timing for us in the 400 - somehow I dropped a full minute from my swim time - now at 13:49. Still think I was short a lap but also still think I was short a lap the first time - go figure! Apparently if you keep moving your overall time improves!

After that experience we did more relays - one set of all freestyle, one set of alternating swimmers with backstroke/front crawl, one set of freestyle but somersaulting at the transition between 'shallow' and 'deep' ends, and then one cool down of 25 yards. I believe that adds up to nearly a mile of swimming if you don't get turned around in the somersault and go back the way you came!

Tuesday night the TRY registrants who are not in the training classes at the Vincennes YMCA have been invited to be timed for the swim - wish them all success.

We're under a month to the event and from the locker room talk are pretty much all looking forward to when we begin having our sessions out at Gregg Park and being in the actual pool, bike and run routes for the event!
