Well I was mistaken yesterday. There was not a pool party, just a lot of people. But tonight there WAS a pool party. DJ, food, drinks, the works. But I marched on in and swam my laps anyway. Tonight I was "sports entertainment." I also broke the Golden Rule of swimming: Wait 1 Hour Before Swimming After Eating ! I had eaten a nice dinner - steak, potatoes, corn on the cob and bluberry muffins - about 40 minutes before my swim. I could really feel it too. I ended up breaking the swim into three segments. Mostly so I could stop and stand upright so my stomach would feel better. I felt like I needed to do the "Kobayashi Shake." But too many people watching.
2500 yards - 45:42.59
I was also getting cramp in the muscle next to my shin. Never had that before. Felt wierd, but not bad enough to stop. My leg had no ill effects from yesterday's ride. But I will probably not ride again until the doctor clears me. |
