"midnight swim"

I must tell you going for a swim session at midnight at the local 24 hour gym sucks big time..But I needed to do it..Since I missed one of my swim workouts last week, I have been feeling so out of it in the water and my swim stroke shows it..

My midnight session starting out sucking ass, I think I was 5 strokes past my usually swim stroke count per 25 yards. Not feeling it at all...But since I was here I might as well make the best of it..

For some reason there was people waddling in the pool lane next to me..Shouldn't you be home sleeping.. There is a reason I swim this late.. To get away from all the floaters in the pool..

But one floater I must talk about, I give him credit for trying, but this 300+ man was trying to do his water exercise, which was cool but he kept on hanging on the lane lines and invading my space...WTF...After a while I had to move to another lane..

Then comes the big exit from the pool..After watching him trying to hoist himself on some wench located besides the pool, it was getting kind of funny to watch, even some people lifting weights was looking though the glass to stare...

Enough of fun and games, I had to continue my practice..After a lap or two I looked up and he was gone. How he got out I will never know..

On with the swim, later around 12:30 am, 2 ladies show up, one trying to put her water MP3 player on with no success..Thinking to myself only crazy Triathletes would show up this late doing swim laps..That actually woke me up, because I got hyped up and didn't want to look like a slacker...But I continued my Total Immersion drills..

So around 1:30 am, I had enough..but at least I think I got the feel of the water again..

Now only 3 to 4 hours of sleep and off to work...Man this sucks ass..I'm soooo tired..
