No more drag chute.

For about 2 years worth of lap swimming the goal was just acclimatization so I just wore swim trunks. Yes, they even had a pocket on the back. You could feel it dragging like sticking your hand out the car window on the freeway.

Since I'll be wearing tri-shorts in the event, I wanted to practice in something similar. Jammers are essentially the same, but OK for repeated use in chlorinated pools. Got some. Tried them. Liked 'em fine. Can definitely feel the difference.

Ran and then swam tonight. Did call the gym first to make sure they hadn't had yet another emergency pool closure. The woman who answered actually laughed when I asked. The pool has been closed more than it has been open the last 2 weeks I think.
