To the pool...did the first 16 laps (400 yards) as fast as I could, trying to make the turns snake like. Clocked at 8:25. Swam about 10 minutes more and then did another 400 in 8:15. Happy with the effort.

Registered for the race. All drama about what to put for swim time was removed since they asked you to round to closest minute. I went with 8.

It was a good day for estate paperwork to be resolved. Three positive things happened, which pared my list down quite a bit. Special kudos to Sheena at my mother's retirement plan for helping me to finally resolve how to get the missing 1099s. Her co-workers failed me the other three times I called over the last six weeks.

C • mass swim start 3

I have updated my log to show that I am going back to timing most of the EX2 races in 2016.

So, kissy signed up for a tri, and that started me thinking about whether I could do one or not. I am not sure if I should be thanking or cursing her for putting a bug in my ear :), but I think I will sign up for this event - http://triitnow.com/LC/LC_reg.htm

Ladies only - 400m swim, 8 mile mostly flat bike, 2 mile run

If I am ever to do a tri, this seems like the best fit - lots of different sized ladies, on every type of bike, etc. Only concern is the snake swim, but if I keep up the good work in the pool, I can justify entering with a low swim seed and that would keep me out of most of the swim mess.

I think I will give it a try!

C • Go for it! 4

A leisurely breakfast with aunt Nora, and then off to Baltimore to drop her off. Then to the pool. Low battery warning on shuffle about 5 minutes in, and then it lasted another 35, so last 20 was just me and my loud breathing to listen to.

Walked the White course with Nora.

Nora and I took Barney to Potomac Overlook Park for a walk.
