After a long rest

As I blogged yesterday the pool is hosting a small college division swim champs this weekend and as such many of the normal training sessions have been canceled. I was asked yesterday if I wanted to join the high school swimmers at there morning practice. I was the oldest by at least 25 years which really brought home how old I am and how young the kids I swam with are. There were a couple of really quick middle distance boys swimming and it was fun training with them and I was proud I held my own.
