I made it back to the pool this last week after a three week break. I averaged about 4 minutes per 100 yards, and swam for 30 minutes. To complete the math problem, that would mean I swam 700 yards during my half hour. My 100 IM was a notable exception to my average. I swam that at 2:45.22, which is a decent time for me.

I think my days of unmonitored swimming are coming to an end. I plan to sign up for Masters Swimming as soon as possible, putting myself under a swim coach for the first time ever. Who knows? Maybe nothing will change. But maybe everything will change. Maybe that will get me closer to my goal of entering a triathlon, and my secret dreams of competing. But first, I want to swim for weight loss and fitness.

This should be an interesting journey.
