Okay, I Lied
I WILL bore you with my splits because after I wrote them all down I had to show off my amazing ability to swim 41 second 50s :)... Now next time let's make those 41s into 39s and 40s 'eh?
37.3, 40.0, 41.4, 42.6, 41.8, 42.1, 40.7, 41.9, 41.2, 41.3 (6:50.2), 41.7, 41.9, 41.3, 41.9, 41.9, 41.5, 41.2, 41.6, 41.5, 41.8 (13:46.4), 41.1, 41.3, 41.7, 41.7, 41.9, 42.2, 41.8, 41.5, 41.2, 41.3 (20:42.3)... At this point O's watch stopped taking splits (it must have been as tired as I was) but if you do the math my last 150 was ~2:02.
Regardless, I really wanted to write another entry to THANK everyone for their encouraging comments! You guys really are the best. And I got some good laughs too! To say the very least, I am appreciative of the time you take to read my blabber and the time you take to encourage me, someone whom you all have never even met! (besides one or two of you...)
My ride was good - 2:30 on the trainer and 3 episodes of Grey's. Then an ice bath. Then a hot shower to stop my teeth from their incessant chattering. Then dinner.
I can't believe it's Monday tomorrow already! That doesn't seem right that we all have to go back to work tomorrow! But either way, HAVE A GREAT WEEK EVERYONE!

My watch does have 50-lap split memory. However, I forgot to clear out my own swim workout from saturday that took up about 20 splits. Oops. Chalk it up on the rookie mistake board....

Beth - Congratulations on a GREAT swim!! I want you to know that even though I was too busy with the moms to comment on your blog on the weekend, I did check in to see how it had gone. You're the real thing now Beth - a swimmer.

beth,
i was thinking of a symbolic representation for your good water deeds, and did a "random" google search with the words Swimming and Blues - as in you don't have them anymore - and i found this:

An italian blues band. Downloaded one tune and it doesn't sound half band. Enjoy!
