I swam my best time (45 minutes) ever (for a mile) last Friday; this was at sea level (Maryland) in a 25 meter indoor pool. Yesterday I arrived in Colorado and decided to swim this morning (after yoga class:) at the Lone Tree Recreation Center. LTRC has a 25 yard indoor pool with 3 lanes. I shared the end lane; swimming against the wall is not my favorite but after 4 laps I had the lane to myself and swam the 36 laps in 47:10. I was expecting a slower time and felt a bit tired but other than having to do 8 more turns (36 vs. 32 laps), it wasn't as hard as I anticipated. Both the Maryland and Colorado miles were between a 200m/yd warm-up and 200m/yd cool-down with my swimmer's snorkel. Of course there is a little difference between 1600 meters and 1800 yards but this isn't the Olympics so whose counting:)
My day is off to a great start - meditation, followed by yoga, followed by swimming:)
