Swam today at Red Top Mountain on Lake Allatoona with the "Swim with Pete" group.
Completed 3 laps of the course, 3.6 miles. Didn't feel great cause I only swam once this week, but still pretty much lead the whole group. Swim was 1 hr 13 minutes. Water was maybe 80-81 and felt pretty good.
This is a blog I created in August 2008 to keep up with my progress back in the swimming world. Prior to the Summer of 2008 I haven't really done a swimming workout in 15 years when I was about 75 lbs. lighter! My main motivation is for the health benefits and having something to train towards....but really there are SO many other benefits.

-felt pretty strong on sprints, definately a quality set. Most 100's were under 1:10, closer to 1:05
-I'm in Chicago until Thursday afternoon so I may not post everything until later in the week. Planning on getting together with OW swimmer extrodinaire Amanda Hunt for my first dip in "cold water" and do a little workout in Lake Michigan! :D
