I finally made it back to the pool. Biked 9 mi, swam 0.5 mi.
Larry, is the swim awkward in a pool? Does it get congested? It just seems like you wouldn't really be able to pass anyone. How do you go from lane to lane...flip turns or just touch the wall and go under? So many questions.

The lanes at the Natatorium are faily wide. You swim down one 50y lane, go under the rope, swim back 50y, go under rope, ..., after 8 laps get out. This race is fun. If you are average you may be in the pool with a lot of people. It can turn into a battle royal in the pool because their will be some people that get tired and get on their back and do the wide arm/leg back float for a while to catch their breath. You have to just plow through those people. They can hold on to the rope if they get nervous.
Taking a day off. My legs were dead yesterday so I'm giving them a little rest break. As for the pool swim: I'm anticipating they will have taken down the lane ropes by the time I reach the pool so I can just swim diagonally across the pool. I love short cuts.
How do you enter the pool? I plan on running full speed and landing about halfway down the first lap with a belly flop.
