Hope everyone is having a good week so far!
Nice mileage last week, Dr. TC!
Way to make it through fire prevention week Scheherazade! We also succeeded in preventing fires here.
Hooray for making it through monster week, MM! I hear you on the pool situation. Sometimes you have the luxury of being picky about your swimming holes, and other times the best pool is the one where you can swim when you can. I'm also a pool opener and we've developed quite a morning crew- it ends up helping tremendously when we have to share lanes because we know each other and how we swim together.

This week's goal- Kick some ass at my tri this weekend.
Welp.
Saturday's weather in NJ was basically like IMLOO on Sunday. Combine that with the most poorly organized and unsafe race organization I've ever encountered, and it made for a mediocre disaster which, when all was said and done, left me on the podium and 9th female OA. I'll take it, I guess.
Highlights of the craziness:
1. Delayed start because the buoys floated away overnight. They were still untethered when the race started, floated again and I ended up swimming HIM distance for an oly.
2. NO SWIM SUPPORT. One lone kayaker chasing buoys. No boats, no lifeguards, nada. Someone could have drowned and no one would have known. That was less than comforting.
3. The coldest, shittiest rain just north of sleet conditions. It was 43 degrees on the bike with 10mph winds.
4. The "packed gravel" run as advertised was actually a root-laden trail with beach sand. I am not a trail runner. I'm currently advertising that with a HUGE bruise on my calf after I biffed it hard at mile 2.
Anyways, tri season is done. Except it's not because I'm starting my training for IMTX.
