BAND OF ANGELS

A great day in the pool. I did the first 20 lengths (0.5k) using the crawl, but then realized I was still slower with the new stroke than with the breaststroke.
So, I amended my kick from a frog manoeuvre to a straight up and down kick, thus protecting the knees much more.
In 1:43, I did 2.1k, bringing the remaining distance to 17.6k. I have the full two hours tomorrow and Sunday, and then I think I'm going to double up my swimming, both for this event and for exercise, to twice a day on Mondays and Wednesdays.
I'm adding lengths swims on those days at White Oaks pool, where I'll swim from 6 to 8 a.m., and then go to the Ridge for the regular 11:45 to 1:30 p.m. slot.
I'd like to be less than 200 pounds by fall.
See you tomorrow. And ask everyone you know if they've pledged yet. Donations have really slowed, and I have high hopes of making my goal.
Thanks to those of you who have already become part of the team.
