My regular YMCA is closed for cleaning for through the 25th so I had to find another pool for today's long swim. The downtown Y worked out perfectly as I had a couple errands to run for the big trip. It was refreshing to go to another pool, new people, new sights, sounds, etc. The downtown Y pool also 25m, but not as wide across as the Meredith Mathews Y, the downtown Y only has three lanes. It is a much brighter pool though and a little colder since they don't do as many child and family programs...its more set up for lap swimmers.
The long swim went well. I did ten minutes of hand paddles in the middle just to mix things up a bit. Although I do enjoy the long swim over the long run, the long swim can get monotonous so I try to throw something in to keep me stimulated.
I'm still watching the Olympic swimming pretty intently. I'm a very visual person so its good to watch the swimmers in order to get a good visual image. I'm staying up way too late though, past midnight every night...but its worth it.
