Although I was quite tired from laying tile on Saturday and Sunday, I got up and went to the gym this morning. I swam 1000m – the furthest I have swam in a long, long time.

I am exhausted. What was I thinking when I signed up for a Half Ironman? I’ll be required to swim 1,931 meters for the first leg of my race. July 7, 2012 is not so far away. Only 179 days to go. Ack!
