trivia with the torpedoes

I swam 12x100m swims today. My arms were pretty tired still from my 2500m swim last night.

My friend Kate was there swimming super fast with me this morning. I told her she was like a torpedo. She did great.

Today two apartment complex workmen came to try to do something about the horrible stench in my apartment. They brought a machine that creates ozone, as near as I can gather. The gentleman who explained it to me said that it removed oxygen from the air and that I didn’t want to be in the same room with it when it was running or it would make me cough.

I’m not sure I believe that, but it does seem to help the smell. The stench is not entirely gone, though. They said they found a bird carcass in one of the vents and removed it, but there’s still that puppy chow plus peanut butter plus rotting carcass smell whenever the heat comes on.

I played trivia with my friends tonight. Team name: The Torpedoes. We got third place and would have done better had we known that Gone With The Wind is the highest grossing movie of all time adjusted for inflation.

My boy Sam invited me to come hang in Florida for about ten days later on in the week. I could bring my bike AND get in some open water swims, so it would be kind of nice for training purposes, but I worry about spending too much money. I can do all my work from anywhere that has internet, though. I might do it. The open water swimming is the big draw.

Tonight I worked some on my new training plan, and asked some questions of my tri group. I wish I could afford a coach to make me a training plan and a sports nutritionist to tell me exactly what to eat and when based on my schedule. When I’m rich, that’s what I’ll do.

And I’ll have some pretty sweet bikes too.
