I swam laps for the first time in a few years this morning. I have a friend, Blake, who is trying to get me to do the local triathlon in March so I figured I ought to get in some swimming and see if I'm up to it. For the first morning of swimming I thought it went well. Did 18 laps (900m).

After swimming I went for an easy run along the lake over to the island and around it then back.

7 flat easy miles, 54:06

I think I will only swim once a week and bike once a week in prep for the tri, because my real goals are running goal and the tri is just a little diversion.

Good job getting the swim in. Careful with the tri thing... you might get hooked on it. Do you have good swimming form?

Nice job. I can only muster up enough energy for a short sun. Lol.

Mack, tris are fun. I used to do a lot of them, but running is my true passion. And, no, I'm not the smoothest swimmer in the world.

Dale, I've been feeling pretty energetic lately. I'm trying to build my mileage slowly.

Tim, this is just a side thing, but tris are addicting, if you can get past the swim.

A tri in Havasu that's not on a Sunday?
