Parked at Steiner with the plan of swimming after my run.  I ran a short south loop, returned to Steiner, and swam for a few minutes.  I'm a terrible swimmer, the equivalent of an out-of-shape, duck-footed, back of the pack runner, but it felt great. Then I rode my bike to work, completing the trifecta.

What does Cromulent mean anyway...

Sasha is a terrible swimmer too...I can beat him at the crawl in a short distance...he would outswim me if it was based on endurance I'm sure.

Sarah--You'll find the answer to your perfectly cromulent question here:

Obviously, I took Paul's lead in creating the blog title.

On the swimming, hopefully I can improve to the point of basic competency. It's like golf; to enjoy it I just have to do it with no self-consciousness at all and accept I pretty much suck.

I needed that laugh today.

I hope that the ankle is behaving.

This week has not been good to me and I'll have to run earlier tomorrow. I hope you have a good track workout.

With the trifecta are you making the conversion anytime soon?

Adam--catch up with you soon, I hope. Oh, and I don't think I'll be entering any triathlons any time soon. Maybe if they had a run, run, and run triathlon I could do it.
