1.5 mile swim in Arizona State's saltwater, edgeless pool. One of the best 50 meter pools in the country.

Two small but important items of Utah news I read traveling the US today: Eli the orangutan at the Hogle Zoo has the world record for animal predictors of games by predicting Superbowl wins by hitting on a helmet. 7-0 with his last prediction of the Seahawks. The next contendor was a giraff I think. Also that the reason came up today by a US speedskater for the lower medal count was that they have been training on Utah's fast Oval ice, the Sochi ice is just too slow. I feel possessive of this ice since I have ran in the Oval once.

Edgeless? That must be huge! Even oceans have edges.

Love these pools whether or not they are actually are without edges. :-) There are no return ripples, fast pool.

Thanks Clyde. My kids want to go to Phoenix this weekend and they are the ones who determine my weekend schedule most weeks. I still may prevail though.
