Pool success

No more "the goggles, they do nothing!" The new goggles actually worked pretty well. Didn't leak once. Swam about 25 minutes working on my breathing. Still having the occasional problem where I don't start taking a given breath early enough and wind up crossing over with my mouth still open, pulling my head out of the water to avoid inhaling a face full of water, and losing my rhythm for a moment.

Hopefully there will be no more snorkeling in the pool though. I thought swimming at lunch on a weekday would be less crowded than after work (it has been in the past) but it was 3 to a lane for a bit.

So the new goal is to sign up for the August sprint tri, and swim workouts will have the goal of using goggles only and swimming the 400 meter distance with (hopefully) fewer stops each time until I can do it comfortably and continuously.
