Masters swim meet- Kalispell the first weekend of April. A bunch of people are going and sort of bullying me into it. Michael really wants the trophy. I could do the 1000 to see where I am for the Grizzly. It would be Polson the weekend before but I think I could carpool. Maybe do events one day and ride/run the other? Maybe I will see if Jen Luebke is going and we could ride one day? Aren't you coaching her? Thought I heard that.
Schedule for next week- something not too late on Thursday. I promised a friend I would go out to dinner with her. She has a kid, so doesn't get the chance to go out much, plus I really love her company. Can skip out of work during the day for a few hours.
Spring break- We are going to leave in the afternoon on Friday the 8th and drive to southern Idaho and spend the night in a hot springs town. Then drive to st George on Saturday. The rest of the crew is coming down on Sunday or Monday. My one request is that I get a massive swim one day, Sunday would be perfect, but of course the pool isn't open Sundays. I want to go and really enjoy the awesome pool down there. It might be hard to be super flexible with four other people who only want to mountain bike. However, with that being said, I want to bring my TT bike and do the st George course again. We will also have two cars so I can do my own thing.
Work schedule - Monday and Tuesday are busy. Wed I have an appointment from 11-12 and a lunch seminar from 12-1. Other than that, nothing I know about yet.
This was a busy work week even though I didn't have any experiments. Histology is hard work and kind of gross. Lots of nasty chemicals and carcinogens.
Tuesday - Total brain fart. Missed 10 minutes of gift and didn't do the run. Lost track of time.
Masters swim - tied a parachute around my waist and did 3x25 followed by 1-25 fast and 1-25 easy. The last two 25s were without the drag. I thought it was kind of fun, slow, but fun. My back and arms were tired the next day.
Wednesday- Rode bike? Can't remember.
Thursday - gift at the gym. Watched a guy walk down the stairs on his hands. Crazy. Watched another guy rocking out to his headphones. Love it! Did some extra Achilles stretching, just to stay on top of it.
Boblablalaws blog- Do you watch Arrested Development? It is hilarious.
Masters swim - Think we got in around 3400 or so. Lots of 200s, I think. Masters is funny. The lane is kind of hard to get moving. Some people do IM all the time with fins and go really fast because of the fins. Still not sure how they do breast with fins. Then others will do no more than 3000. Then others come late and talk themselves up but skip out on parts of the sets. Interesting how adults function. Worse than kids, I imagine.
Friday swim- what is up with the band? What is the purpose?
Saturday - got worked trying to skate ski up Bozeman creek. 6 inches or more of snow made it hard work. Got to the bridge( just short of 5 miles) one mile at a time. Hardest I have had to work at skiing this year, I think. Turned around at bridge.
Sunday - good masters swim. Good warm up then 5x100 followed by a 200 recovery. Tried to swim my fastest 100 ever each time. Got a 1:32 once. In a 50 meter pool. I think that is my fastest ever. Yay!
Nice sunny day for a run again. Saved a dog after it jumped into a snow bank that was covering a creek. Poor thing. Then this girl had to catch me at the last light with about a mile left before home. Straight stretch. Well I couldn't let her easily beat me, but damn she was fast. I convinced myself she was only on mile two or something, not 13 like me. That was one hard final mile home. Had a hard time mapping out the run. Ran for about 2 hours. I think it was more like 13 to 14 miles instead of 12.
