Wimpy

It took me over 4 minutes to get into the water today. That's half of my warm-up easing my way into the cold water.

I did get the worst lane, it is the end lane with the stairs leading into it. It just asks me to ease in. Who am I to say no?

The workout itself was pretty good. Though I do have one gripe.

Before my last set I got out of the pool to go to the bathroom. Four of the 5 lanes were unoccupied (including the one just left by me). When I got back, maybe two minutes later, someone was swimming in my lane. This would not be strange if it were not for the MOUNDS of stuff that was left behind at the lane. Why would someone given the choice choose the one lane with stuff crowded at the end with 3 perfectly empty lanes to choose.

Being stubborn, I jumped back in my lane and waited for him to come to my end. Lucky for me he just moved over. He acknowledged that he should have known that I would be back.
