I swam 1600 meters this morning.  Usually when I swim, I look at the clock when I jump in the pool and look at it again when I hop out to figure out my time.  Using that method, I swim 1600 meters in 52 minutes.

Today, I wore my watch and swam it in 44:04 minutes.  I like my watch methods lots better :)

I wanted to see what my 350 meter splits were (350 M is the swim length for the mini sprint I signed up for last week...it is gonna kick my trash!!!!). 

1 - 350M 9:28

2 - 350M - 9:41

3 - 350M - 9:39

 A few rest laps

4 - 350M - 9:20

 Now I have something to work off of.  I hope to get a bike ride in this evening.  My ankle is still sore, so I am not going to run for a few days.  STINKY!!!

Getting ready for that race? You will do awesome! When is it? I want to come see you.

When I got to the pool you must have already left. Glad you had a good swim.

Are you going to swim tomorrow morning?

Stinky pain! I'm SO sorry, it really does stink when you feel that achy pain come back!! Take it easy (you can read my re-fracture soap box on Callie's blog :) ).

Great job on the swimming - those are nice splits, what an awesome race to sign up for - just enough to give you a taste of a tri to see how you'd like it! When and where is it? What is the running distance?

Take it easy on the ankle. I'm sorry it's bothering you. That's no fun.

Great job on the swimming.

Stupid friggin' ankle!!!

Sorry, no more swearing from me today.

NICE SWIM, I am jealous. I can not swim, I hate water.

Toby - remember that time I requested to be your friend on Facebook and you rejected me? Karma.

From Burt on Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 17:27:01 from 206.19.214.144

Just kidding. That was mean. I hope your ankle gets better soon.

From Toby on Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 18:11:53 from 216.194.124.36

I haven't rejected you yet. I just want to make sure you aren't a serial killer :) You aren't, right?

From Burt on Wed, Mar 24, 2010 at 18:19:36 from 206.19.214.144

Oh, no, no. NO. Of course not. Pffft. Me? Not me. No. I'm not. But I will admit, I thought the same thing about you when you joined the blog. Wait a minute, I haven't heard from Missy in a few days...
