It's been a week or so out of the water as my wife and I make the drive to Prince Edward Island, with stops along the Bay of Fundy and Maine along the way. It was fun to see all of the Anne of Green Gables sights as well as the natural beauty of the island. Their masters teams take the summer off and I missed a tri group's ows. Here is today's Master workout with Greg and Libby: 4 x 100 swim on :20sr 1 x 200 pull on :15sr [extra 50] with snorkle 2 x 100 k/s by 50 on "20sr [extra 50] with snorkle 4 x 50 build on :20sr [extra 50] with snorkle 100 ez, :15sr, 1 x 100 fast on :30sr, into... 100 ez, :15sr, 2 x 100 even on :30sr, into... 100 ez, :15sr, 3 x 100 descend on :30sr, into... 100 ez, :15sr, 4 x 100 even on :30sr 100 loosen [did extra 150] [Masters/Rec/2800 yds, 55 min] ===================

I swam with light grey clouds but constant thunder rumbling in the distance for the duration of practice. When I got out I saw that where it was light grey clouds above me, all around was dark purple/slate grey clouds. Even caught a flash of lightning as I headed to the locker room. During CORE7 the heavens opened and it stormed like crazy. I got lucky to get in a 55 minute workout in the only period where there weren't severe storms!

The back story here is that I got in the water at 7:25 AM. Water aerobics class begins at 9:00. I was swimming in lane three of an eight lane pool, but there is only one lane line strung up (the one between lanes two and three). I was on the last 6-8 50s of my warm down at 8:55 when the aerobics people got in and started "walking" the width of the pool. Now seeing me in there, I would have thought these people could have the sense to stop at the black line in lane 3 and turn around, as opposed to going all the way to the lane rope. I had wedged my self as far against the rope as possible to maximize their room, but really, how can 11 adults need 75% of the pool? There was an old man lap swimming in lane two and swim lessons going on in lane one so I didn't think it fair to them (they had been there for 30-45 minutes already) to make them move for me. This one lady kept intentionally stepping in front of me when I swam by so as to generate a scene. She kept trying to yell at me about the fact there was a class going on, blah blah blah. When I got out of the water, she says to me, "You know there is a lap swimming pool down there?" (gesturing to the LCM pool). As if to say "hey I think you are confused, your kind is supposed to be over there!" I said, "yeah I know," and walked off, which this woman continuing to lecture me louder and louder as I got farther and farther away. I really don't think there is any one particular group of pool users that act any more entitled than a water aerobics class. They absolutely refuse to find a way to coexist with anyone using the pool at the same time as them. Anyways, had a fantastic practice. Rant off.
