Putting the "Academy" back into Sports Academy

I arrived at the Sports Academy in Logan and planned to meet with Joelle, but got a text so it was just me this morning.  I was fine with it, since I LOVE the Sports Academy.  The one day fee is a little pricey ($10), but the facility is awesome so it's worth it to me.

The water was 84.4.  A little warm for my liking, but it was fine.  I had the following workout printed out on a piece of paper and followed it to the 'T"!

After swimming that far I was spent and felt great about that distance.  I drove over to the Poco Loco shop on Main and got Oliver a nice new swim suit, and a couple pair of goggles.  

What a great swim!  I ate a total of 3 Clif Bars, and 3 Gatorades, and one Buzz Bite throughout the course of this workout.
