This afternoon the weather was windy and alternated between overcast and sunny. i took the dogs for a walk (they were pulling me practically the entire way): 1.8 miles in a little over 30 minutes. i joined St. Mary's and swam laps. The pool is only 16m long, so it's going to be harder for me to count how far i've swam, i'll try to figure it out before my swim from now on. i swam 9.5 laps (19 lengths) for 304m.
i also bought some gear today in the form of a new helmet, goggles, and some swim boy shorts. The helmet was on sale (sorry Bike Shop, i would have bought it from you, but i have to go where the deals are), but i didn't go for a cheapo this time: i'm going to be spending too many hours in one for me to buy a heavy, uncomfortable, ill fitting helmet (as it is, this one is barely large enough). For now i'll wear the boy shorts with the tankini i bought last spring (a year ago). In fact, it is soooo much easier to swim laps now that i'm not wearing the guys trunks that i was swimming in (they are knee length and baggy and heavy when wet). i've figured out which tri shorts i'm going to buy, but they can't be used in chlorinated water, and i figure that i don't have to buy them immediately. i'll gradually buy gear in the weeks working up to the race. i'm also going to register for the Girls on the Run 5k this paycheck.
Here's my gear thus far:
Giro helmet
Speedo Aqua Racer goggles
Pearl Izumi shorts that i want to get
