"It is advisable to not use shower during thunder storms"

Wednesday - 70 lengths gorgeous weather again

Week 36

Monday - 60 lengths
Tuesday - 70 lengths
Thursday - 60 lengths
Friday - 70 lengths
Saturday - 60 lengths

Total lengths = 320 = 8km (past Ponoka).


And where I am in Houston
 Quite nice for swimming but not for driving... the state of these roads leaves a lot to be desired, and if Calgary can keep apace with road repairs when the weather precludes that for much of the year why can't Houston... many people complain...

Week 34 - Closing in on Ponoka

This week's swimming will be cut short by renovations for which MAC is closing for two days.

Monday 26th Oct 60 lengths.
Tuesday 27th Oct 60 hard earned lengths.
Wed & Thur MAC closed for refurbishments
Sunday 2 November 40 lengths - in amazingly heavy rain... it was beautiful to see the droplets hit the water... from under the water... and how they made bounced droplets above it... I would have loved to have taken photos but, unfortunately my underwater camera lies in the mud somewhere offshore Saltspring Island. (Grin)

Total for the week (only) 160 lengths
= 4000km
Which takes me north towards Ponoka.....


And if you want to know what it look alike 11.25km away from our house... here it is... (Don't know these people by the way)
Nice Dolphin... note the palms and ? water feature...
I decided to stay away from the Interstate for this part of my swim but I might have to go up on one of those amazing interchanges just to really work those legs during my breast stroke sessions.  For now though I am in suburbia.
