was forced to cut my workout short today to be able to get the swim in before the pool closed ...
so this is the Achilles heel of my facility - the pool being outdoor closes too early and i like to finish with the pool that way i then just shower and go home clean ...
the other problem is 3 days out of 7 the pool is set up as long course which doesn't work for my training
yes Sarah Sjostrom set long course world record without taking a single breath for the 50 meter butterfly lap but i am not Sarah Sjostrom. i would probably feel beat up if i started doing 50 meter butterfly sprints and i would certainly have to take at least some breaths.
by contrast when the pool is set up as short course ( 25 yards ) i do not need to breathe for my sprint training and can focus on other more pleasant things like actually flying.
anyway, i won't find a better pool. instead i might add a 24 hour gym membership ...
although my gated community has a free gym that is open pretty late ...
UGH i hate having to think !
