mwz: Day 123

Today, I swam 1/2 mile (22 laps) in an unknown amount of time. I almost didn't go because I'm starting to dread swimming. But I decided that I could get up 15 minutes later and still have enough time to swim.

It was a relatively eventful trip.

The pool was pretty full. One side had 3 people and they were swimming circles. When I got over there, one of them quit, so I took her spot. It was my first time swimming like that. I discovered that I'm a pretty slow swimmer.

About every 2 laps, the lead guy would catch me. I would then stop in the corner and let him pass. I also let the other lady pass because she was pretty consistently behind the guy. When they were past, I would swim again until I lost enough ground (or water?) that the guy would have to pass me again.

Eventually, the lady left and we change to swimming in lanes (which is a little less stressful for me but also less interesting). After a while, I noticed that my right ear plug wasn't doing a very good job. I finished that lap and put my hand up to adjust it but it was gone... Somebody stole my ear plug right from my ear... Okay, it just fell out. I didn't manage to find it and now I know why the package came with three.

On the way home, I saw a dear cross the road ahead of me. That is a little unusual since I live in a city but we have seen dear around there before. There was only one and it crossed without incident.
