Ooooh, wood grain laminte lockers...so luxurious.
I got to the newly renovated club a few minutes before 5am and noticed that everything seemed to have a fresh coat of paint and a few new pictures on the wall, it looks better than it did, but nothing too special. They re-did the locker room with some wood-grain laminte lockers and refinished the pool deck. Overall, a nice little renovation.
I hopped in the pool and started doing a little 500 yard ladder warm up. Almost instantly I noticed that in the renovation process they also must have renovated the chemicals in the pool because the chlorine content was so high it practically made me choke. Ugh.
When they renovated the pool deck they either had some chemicals seep into the water or they jumped up the chlorine right after the renovation to make sure the water was clean. Whatever the reason, it made breathing a bit challenging. It was kind of like breathing really humid air that burned your lungs a bit. Wonderful.
At any rate, I got through the workout and did about 1500 yards. Man, it was hard swimming after not having been in the pool for a while. I'm sure I'll get my groove back, but today felt like a struggle on every level.
It was very manatee like, but with less grace.
I finished in the pool, hopped in my car and drove home. I quickly changed into my cycling clothes and hit the biking trail right as the sun was coming up. It was pretty cloudy, so I didn't get the full effect of the sunrise ride (which I normally really like) but it was still nice. A little breeze but probably 60%-70% humidity so i was sweating like crazy. Otherwise, the ride was pretty uneventful other than I felt pretty slow today.
I got home right at 7am and got to have breakfast with my girls. Overall, not a bad workout for a Saturday morning.
