Rest Week

Well all this swimming has finally caught up with me. My arms have gone from bags of sand, to bricks, to lead, to uranium, to eka-radon (a hypothetical element that supposedly is the heaviest thing possible). Well, you get the picture.

I was planning on making this a relative rest week, which I embraced happily. With no long swim this week and 2 days off of swimming in a row, my arms feel much better! Unfortunately, I now have a cold.

On another note, I found another race that I want to do this year. It's a 10 mile swim in a very scenic lake in Vermont. It looks very pretty, but cold: http://www.kingdomaquafest.com/
