I actually tried to swim yesterday. Drove to Creek Side, but it looked way too busy (parking lot was a mess), didn't even get out of my car. Drove to Sendero, but that was closed for a swim team party. Briefly thought of driving to Deep Eddy...but with Barton Springs closed due to flooding on Friday, I'm sure that was crazy. Just wasn't in the mood for the gym pool. Probably need a break anyway, after 6 straight days.

today's swim felt pretty good. I always try to get in at least 10% non-free; today was about 20% (10% breast). I always feel like I'm in better shape when I swim at least a 100 of each stroke during a workout.

those 300s just felt so smooth. I like doing different distances, gives me a taste of a little controlled swimming.
