Had a fun swim this morning with the Boone Master’s ladies. I’m really having a good time swimming with them. We did a set more like I’m used to today… repeat 100’s, 50’s, and 25’s. I can definitely tell I’m a “one speed” kinda girl… I pretty much hit a pace and stay on it the whole time. Funny how I don’t have much “up and go”… oh well, spose that’s why I’m an endurance athlete by nature.

I went over to one of the ladies’ house after the swim and watched a freestyle technique video. She was very nice to have me over and allow me to watch the video with her. I picked up some breakfast from a bagel shop right near the pool, then headed over to watch the freestyle video. It was interesting. I learned some things, but mostly it re-iterated all the things that Sonni has taught me about good endurance swimming… so it’s cool to see that my coach is awesome because he knows everything. (at least in my opinion!)

Once I finished the video and my breakfast, I dropped by Boone Bike to try to register for the Grizzly so I wouldn’t have to deal with it in the morning. Alas, the registration person wasn’t there… so I’m going to have to register in the morning. Blah. That’s what I get for waiting until the last minute.

I’ve spent the afternoon lounging around and surfing the web. My dogs are so thrilled with all the excitement that they are laid out on the bed snoring next to me.

We’re going to leave I think around 5:15 or so to go out for the Bear. We have to pick up our packets still (we’re last minute people, what can I say?). My dad is coming up to run too! My brother will be there to watch.

The race doesn’t start until 7pm. That’s late! Dang! I wish we could get goin by 6pm, but oh well. I don’t make the rules, so 7pm it is.

Here’s hoping for the best…
