I almost swam 2 miles! I think that this is the longest swim that I have done, at least since I quit competitive swimming when I was, like, 10 years old.

Brandy didn't specify how fast to swim the main sets; I guess that my PLEs were high-end SS for the 200s, low-end SS for the 400s and intensive/extensive for the 800. I have absolutely no idea how long it took to swim the 800. For one, I had to stop at around 500 to discuss sharing the lane. Also, I base my speeds on the swim clock, knowing that I swim a 50 in slightly less than a minute. I'd probably need a watch to time my 800.

There were so many people in the pool today! I was getting claustrophobic by the end. There were (I think) a father and 2 sons that were super speedy in the lane on my left. They were kinda creating a wake, causing me to swallow water a couple of times. When the girl joined me, I really felt like I had no space. The lanes at the White Building are super skinny... I always try to swim at times when I think the pool will be empty so that I don't have to share.

I'm feelin' really parched now even though I drank a lot of water during the workout. I always feel that way when I swallow chlorinated water. My muscles feel a little bit tired. I can't wait for bedtime. I'm very thankful that the bike ride tomorrow morning is at regenerative/intensive effort!

mood: i think that i'm back to the speed that i was swimming in the winter.
health: i could def go for a nap.
