Boy I must have really been bored during this morning's swim. I was thinking and figured my swim log is probably a world record in that no other individual has an electronic, publicly available archive of pool workouts, and swimming related articles as this one. I currently have 678 pages of pool workouts, open water swim reports and meet/event results on this site. If someone could find another site by an individual with more data than this, I would LOVE to be proven wrong, and get a link. I've looked and I just can't find it. Cause I sure could use some variety come this winter when Open Water swims aren't a possibility.
Today's swim was tougher than normal. I just wasn't feeling it. I only get in that state about a couple days a month and this was one of them. I met Josh at the boat ramp at BL at 6:30 and did one lap with him. He got there at 6:00 and started his second lap when I started my first. He had to get home so I did two more laps without him. I was really struggling mentally. I didn't have any aches or pains, just was having trouble getting into the zone. And as you could tell my head was getting a little big. I'm still quite a newbie to OW, only been doing it for two years, so I'm NOT an expert by any means!
Total Swim: 3 Laps (@ 3.25 miles) in 1:30
This will be my last swim until the Stansbury Island swim this Saturday. I'll be going into BL tomorrow though for some trash cleanup along the perimeter of the lake.

Gordon- my blogroll has a bunch of swimmers on it, though not the volume of posts that you have. A number of them are channel swimmers/aspirants.
Do you do any cross training like bike and run?
I used to up until the Boise 70.3 this year. But after that I'm not. I do have to get back running though since I've registered to be a relay runner for the Las Vegas Ragnar in a couple months.
