Sunday AM, "open-water," swim @ Barton Springs --total of 18 loops, about 4.75 miles --stopped for feeds after 11, 14, 15, 17, then had some when I finished --wanted to see how long I could go before I started to feel like I might bonk. I've done 5k swims before with no feeds/water. but after I finish those, I'm done, and drink water. 11 loops was about how much I wanted to do, yet still swim more after. --11 loops without equipment, 3 loops with fins, 1 without equipment, 2 with Agility paddles, then 1 final without --I splashed at about 7am. there is free entry until 8am, and it gets busy about 7:30 to 8. when I stopped after the 11 (about 9am), the place had really cleared out. since I was stopping anyway, I asked someone getting in if the guards called people out, she asked a guard, and he said no it was fine to swim. was just very odd, but I had a good swim without running into the casual swimmers. --when I finailly finished and got out, I realized it was sprinking. just a light drizzle, I didn't notice while I swam. I heard it was like that for a while, so maybe that's why people left.

Another weekend of doing floors and hoisting furniture around. Should be only about another week of this at most, we'll see how things go. Saturday, 6/22/2019 Garage Lifting Well, I had been planning on swimming this morning, but I showed up and there was no Masters coach there - the coach that was supposed to be doing it was running his kid group and didn't want to split attention. So I coached instead. Lifted in the garage afterward.
