Confessions of a Lane Five Swimmer

Speedo Confessions
Originally uploaded by reflexblue

The pool is always crowded in January. It's a convenient time to start a new workout or to train for a spring triathlon. Lane 5 can have eight or nine people during the first hour of practice. My pace varies so much during the workout that it is difficult for me to find a place within the line up. Often I start out too fast the first 30 minutes, struggle during the middle 30 minutes, and finish strong the last 30 minutes.
