12 x 50 (:50) OVER... YIPPEE 600/18200


I got up early and swam at 24 Hour Fitness (Ocean Ranch with an Outdoor Pool). I was the only one there so I used my MP3 player (Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, Radiohead, a friend's music, etc). It was cool watching the sky change and as the sun warmed the sage on the hillside there was an incredible fragrance! I swam from 5:45 to 8:45 and did 11,200 yards (end of round 7).
Dashed home to grab some Tylenol and made it to Laguna Beach Community Pool at 10:15. I was disappointed to find the spots labeled "Pool Patron Only" filled by cars from the adjacent (unnamed sect) church so had to find parking and hike to the pool. I swam from 10:30-3:00pm and did 16,100!
I drove to Trader Joe's to get some food and went home. I thought I was going to nap, but that didn't happen. I drove back to 24 Hour Fitness and finished 9,700 yards in 3 hours. I finished the second round of Marcy's set and then 300, 200, 100 to round it off to 37,000 or 21 miles.
10.5 hours and 37,000 yards!
I am icing my shoulders now and trying to eat. I wonder who won Superbowl?

I hope I don't hate myself in the morning!
