A comfort swimmer's guide to easy swimming

Friday 6/29/12
Sometimes no matter what you try to do to be completely rested, real life has a way in interfering with your plans. I had planned Friday as a rest day, but what I hadn't planned on was having to spend half the day on a survey crew in the hot sun staking a parking lot for a paving job. So now because of the constant walking, kneeling, squatting, and swinging a 2# hammer I'm a bit sore. I hope the soreness passes and I can recover sufficiently before Friday that there wasn't too much of an adverse impact. But I now have the attitude that no matter what I will just have fun and take what happens without any expectations.

Was in Boise ID for the weekend to get a massage and hang out with my coach.
