I swam. I don't know how many intervals I did. I wanted to just get in the pool. I started with some warm up drills a la Total Immersion. After my warm up, I did 50m intervals. I took 30s rest in between each 50. The laps took an average of 1min each. I lost count of my laps, but it was more than 10 and less than 20. I swam few extra laps after the intervals.
The water was too warm! I couldn't imagine swimming any long distance. It would most likely make me sick.
The shameful part of the whole experience is what I was the most proud of. Before I went into the pool area, I was in the changing room. There was a 60 - something retired gentleman getting dressed to leave. When I removed my shirt, he said "Let me guess: triathlete? right?" Well, needless to say, I took it as a compliment. After I got home - I took a good look in the mirror. I have changed since May. I am not focused on my appearance as my main motivator. I really am staying active to benefit my health. Another important goal for me is staying in shape to play with my kids (and frighten their suitors!). Anyway, it was definitely nice to stop and think about the goal of "Look good naked..." even though I have fallen for focusing on that in my youth.
Squats tomorrow - yummy!
Peace.
