METERS Not Yards
Turns out PJM was right about the pool. When it's set up as the long course, it's 50 meters! Now how about that? After a little research I discovered that Trees Pool is either 20 lanes of 25 yds or 8 lanes of 50 meters. Now that seems funny to me. That's like having all indoor tracks be 200 yds and all outdoor tracks be 400 meters.
In my research I also learned that the guy I met at the bike store yesterday happens to be a swimming coach at PItt and also qualified for the World Amateur Triathlon Championships last year. Now how about that?
And finally I ran across the best times from Pitt's swim team last season. Um yeah - can you get lapped in a pool? :)
