Escape from Alcatraz 2010 ... -5 days

Good news, I managed to try the wetsuit in the YMCA pool. ( Too hot to swim more than 20 laps... )

The Orca Alpha is great but I feel like a sea lyon, the water comes from everywhere and my legs feel just so high!

People of course looked at me very funny and one guy tried to approach me saying... " are u training for scooba diving? " LOL.

This should tell a lot about my rough style.

Anyway, great intervals in the morning, work was hard and took me the whole day till 9pm, but the final swim in the evening gave me a little hope regarding the race.

The real test will be the day before when I will try to get in the bay water.... It will be too late I know... but this is what I got..... butterflies and hope.

Anyway... last day with the beard... I am sick of it! Tonight I will shave and swim without... let see if I will get any benefit :-P out of it.


The race is coming up, sleeping is going well. Training HORSE mode is going ok now. I saw my blood tests and it seems like everything is in the right place.

One more big hug to this huge world.... where distances matter ... but not always.
