How Long is that Swim? 175 Days to Go



2.4 miles, 4,000 meters.

(How long does that take you in a pool?)

80 minutes.

(What do you think about for an hour and 20 minutes?)

Lots of things. Sometimes I will become my own personal iPod and play and entire album...or two in my head. Other times I write lesson plans for my classes. Sometimes I write this blog in my mind, while I swim.

(Don't you get hungry?)

No, but I do get thirsty. Pool water is full of chlorine and sea water is full of salt.

(Both of which have sodium cloride).

To combat this, I bring a little flask. Half with Gel, half with water. It worked great for the first hundred laps or so. One too many flip turns and I lost the flask

(The lifeguard saw it floating and left it for me at the end of the pool).
So that's where I left it for the remainder of my work out.
