As you know, I'm a member of the Dolphin Club at the cove. It was such a beautiful day that I had to go for a swim. I swam about a half mile today.

Lake


Finished! Felt sooo good to swim this morning!

Four of us


This is the four Tsunamis that just finished both the .75 mile and the 1.75 miles and we were so proud for finishing the swim! It was a gorgeous lake as it was last year, and the temperature was perfect for a distance swim! No shoulder pains, so it was gr8!

Here's Philip and me


Cold air, but warm hearts.

Getting ready


Here's Stu and Philip getting ready for this morning's swim... A bit of a chill in the air, but really exciting!

On our way


We're on our way to Lake Del Valle this morning (a bit too early to wake up at 5:30 in the morning but) to swim either/or both the 0.75 miles and the 1.50 miles, I'm a bit apprehensive about the swims because of my shoulders, but I have ice ready :) In any case, I'll report in a few hours...

In my office


Here's me working at my desk ...

IGLA Paris


Another picture from IGLA. This is not of me swimming, but rather, taking a picture of a fellow swimmer who was doing a 50m breaststroke.

IGLA in Paris


This is a picture of three Tsunamis doing the 200m freestyle. In lane 4 is Philip, putting on his goggles, in lane 5 is Mori, looking at Trent, who is in Lane 6. I wasn't too nervous about this swim, except that 200m freestyle is my worst event. It's so hard to swim without losing steam towards the end, because I end up swimming it like a sprint! But our coach gave us a great strategy, to swim 50m relaxed, 75m build, 50m fast and 25m blast! It went really well! Picture credit goes to Katie on our Synchro team

Piano lesson


I'm so very excited! I've had my first piano lesson in about 11 years! I played the Mozart K311 D major sonata 1st movement rather poorly, but he gave me lots of things to work on and I'm really excited! I might work on some Shubert sonatas as well!

A gift from Stuart


From Stuart... It was so nice of you, Stuart! For others, you can see the fancy bags and a memo that defines what a partner means. Stuart gave me business card case, a wonderful gift. Thank you Stu!
