Boring training post....

HP04 has been remiss in posting about her training and instead has been posting musings so I'll give you a brief run down. Sunday I decided to see if I could actually complete a half mile swim non-stop. I was pretty skeptical having only started my training 2 weeks ago. It was a huge success and I swam almost 2 miles - I felt great while swimming but was tired for 2 days after. But, I'm in for the tri on Oct. 15!!! Monday I went for a run - almost 2.5 miles- which I'm not supposed to be doing but can never seem to stop myself. Tuesday I took off because I had dinner with my cousin and I don't do mornings. Dinner was great - but my cousin and I have come to the conclusion that our family is certifiably insane! Last night knowing I could actually complete a half mile swim non stop I decided to time myself. I finished my half mile in 14 minutes - I was very pleased! I'm going to attribute it to all the sugar that I ate yesterday - gave me extra speed. We'll see what happens next time now that HP01 and Hp04 have cut out all sugar!! It was getting ugly ladies!

Now a side note about the pool last night. I was finishing a set, swimming on the right hand side of the lane, up and back on the same side in case someone wanted to share a lane with me so we wouldn't have to circle swim. I was about half way down the pool when I noticed a woman at the wall on my side hugging the lane line - I mean seriously she couldn't have been any more on my side with no one else in the lane. So I'm swimming at her thinking she's gonna move as I get closer but she doesn't - I move to the other side at the last minute and come up for air. She says to me in a thick German accent - okay if I share lane? Sure I say - do you want to circle swim or take sides? she replies - share better. (WTF then why the hell are you on my side Gertrude??) so I reply to her - I guess you want that side and she replies - doesn't matter. So I still have no idea why she was in my way - maybe they do things differently in the pools in germany. What ever happened to common courtesy???

Shout out to HP02 on the MW photo. I think we should always have a pic of a scantily clad hot man on our page....
