First 2 km completed for 2013 - BOOM!

Hello Olympic size pool, don't mind if I do.

And then it hit me -

it's so much easier to count laps in a 50 meter Olympic pools so

why not do a 2 km swim all out?!? 

Just like old times, right?

Brilliant Lauren - pure genius!

 

Look of excitement written all over that face.

Final time? 

Fiddy-minutes (translation 50 mins) of consistent, non-stop, grandma pace front crawl...

(only lost count 3 times so did some extra laps, just in case)

What did I learn from this experience?

I hate goggles and the goggle rings they leave on your face.

See those ripples in the pool? That's from me baby!

And yes, if you have not already noticed my thumbs are short and large.

(it's also the angle you haters - ha!)
