Anyone swim in Austin? I'm there this weekend and need/want to swim. Drop me a message if you are...
since no one responded to you, just thought i'd suggest a few options.
1. go to longhorn masters. they will prob make you pay $10 though. but it's an awesome place to swim with many fast people and whitney is awesome.
2. barton springs for OW. if you're a man you go w/o wetsuit, but you can also use the suit. temp ~68 all the time. it's free and sparse before 8 am. there is a line on the shallow end for 1/8 mile, so down and back is about 400 open water meters (my PB 6:21 no wetsuit 5:39 with, see if you can beat that)
3. deep eddy or stacey pool. outside, 33 yds, $3 admission.
I swam this morning but i was beat, don't remember much of it except we were supposed to do 4 x 250 @ 3:10 and I ran out of gas and just missed #3. have been running more/faster which starts to show up in sets like that.
