Rats... and old lady soup.

08:35 for 500 meters today in the pool. I couldn't remember what my SB or PB were, I thought I was close. Turns out, 10 seconds away still from the PB. Rats. But, if anything. I'm pretty consistent. I did stop to empty my goggles once, so maybe add a second for that... and I did skip a few flip turns out of courtesy to someone else getting in...

I haven't bitched about the pool in a while. And really, I shouldn't, because I did have half the lane to myself... but:

What is it with old ladies and their body spray!?!?!? The entire shallow end was just awful with a thin skim of old-lady scum.

I don't like swimming in old lady soup!

Yuck. Don't think I've experienced that yet - only the occassional band aid drifting on the bottom. I can't complain though... renovations forced me to a lesser pool, but once completed, everyone returned to the newer pool. I stayed at the older one and now have it mostly to myself. I can't remember the last time I shared a lane!

That is gross. I finally had a turd in the pool at our Y pool. I have always heard of it happening, but never saw it. Nice, real nice. I'll take old lady soup over turd soup any day! Nice blog.
