wow do I ever have to watch it!

[Guest guest]

I went to the pool in my usual fashion, arriving between 12 noon and

1:00 pm. I got started and the going was a bit slow, I was taking my

time of course, my daily log at AOM shows I am ahead of my daily

output on the and Trail (a water way trail of course).

Since we are enjoying mid summer temperatures around 75f to 80f

degrees, the pool got busy at the time I started to swim. I clocked

12:57 to 1:03pm and later logged six minutes at AOM. Just under one

real mile. I then got fed up with the crazy swimmers, one man swims

faster than all else and does it up and down the middle lane front

crawl and does not watch where he is going and with whom I nearly a

collision as I made my turn around. Then we had about three slow

swimmers that required passing if I wanted to maintain a decent

pace, and then we had the guys who can't swim a full length of the

pool and walk around in the lanes creating obstacles for all the

other swimmers.

So I said that's enough for today, and headed for the hot whirl pool

for 15 minutes.

Anyone in this form that knows me, knows what happended last year at

this time, I made a perfectly rational decision to cut my distance

because of the heat. And I paid a huge price for that.

Now I have room in my AOM counter to slow down and rather than

dodging swimmers, I am dodging the distance and the clock. " Oh gosh

no " . " did I do that " The rational though process was I am ahead at

AOM and I can slack it.

Wow do I ever have to watch it!

Any suggestions?
