Hang ups and hang overs

The beer lives! Went out last night to Red Line Tap up north to see "Sex Fist." As the name suggests they are a bluegrass band, and a pretty damn good bluegrass band at that. Granted, I don't have a huge amount of experience with bluegrass, but they were in tune and stuff, and their (seemingly original) songs were very entertaining. Plus, $2 Berghoff's are a good deal!

All of this is to say I'm NOT swimming today, preferring instead to hunt down, kill, and devour the greasiest burger in a 4 block radius. As far as Monday's swim, it was pretty brutal. This is the time of year when all the freaking New Year's resolution people show up for about 2 months, never to be seen again. I was working on Lesson 3, which is more floating, rolling, kicking, etc. From the side of the pool, I think I look like I'm just messing around because EVERYONE wanted to jump into my lane. First, a coworker who's also training for the triathlon showed up in my lane. He hopped over to another lane, and somebody else jumped in. He then decided to share a lane with somebody who was actually swimming, at which point my 3rd swimming budy showed up. And the whole time I'm trying to do my drills smushed to the side of the lane, trying not to get kicked by the girl in the next lane who only knows breast-stroke...

Yeah, swimming can wait until tomorrow.
