Yesterday, I went to the pool at 8 pm to get in my training laps. I had a hard time maintaining the distances and kept stopping to rest before I really should have. As a result, I ended up only going a total of 800m (1/2 mile) instead of the 1200m I was hoping for. A couple of guys showed up who were happy to find out that I was finishing up my last lap, so they joined my lane in order to take it over as I was leaving. They were training for a half Ironman! Wow!
The pool is an awesome place to be in the evenings! There are very few people there, the air is considerably cooler, and I usually don't have to share a lane. And, of course, the view is pretty amazing, too!
Here are a couple of better pictures of the leisure pool. It closes earlier in the evening than the competition pool by about two hours.
Today the kids and I went to the pool with my sister, Kirsten, and her two little girls, Tori and Meg. Helena's friend, Megan joined us and Will decided to ditch us when a couple of girls he knew showed up. I can't really blame him. A 15 year old boy is certain to prefer the company of a couple of cute girls over his mom and other relatives!
Tori had a great time wearing out Helena, Megan, and me in the pool, while Kirsten relaxed in the shade with Meg.
Will in the hot tub. This was before the girls showed up.
Helena and Kirsten were trying to get Tori to stand still long enough to get a picture of the two girls in their matching swim suits, but I am not sure they were ever successful. Tori just couldn't stay still in the water!
