Another sucessful day without doing sprints. I love these swim days without sprints. Sprints whoop my ass! Me no like being whooped! Ha, ha. Anyway, it was a non-eventful swim and almost unmemorable. I don't know if that is good … or bad.

Overall
Spinning is helping my hill climbing out in "the real world." This was my second visit to the spinning class this month. This time, I was prepared for how much I perspire! Armed with two 16 oz. bottles, wearing a specially formulated tank top (read: polyester) and my trusty chamois, I was ready! I had a great time and was able to complete all the sits, position 2's, and found the position 3's to be a welcomed break (and so much easier than in the past!). I'm looking forward to seeing if this makes all the difference I need to get up to Cohasset this Friday or not!
