Fishy Music

Update on the toys:

Swam last night with the new tunes. It works great, stays on surprisingly well while swimming, even in a sprint. The only thing I’ll have to resolve is how to weave the headphones through my goggles. I think I’m also going to start swimming in a cap as that will keep the phones in and help with the *plunk* of water when I’m swimming breast or butterfly. The only thing you lose once underwater is a little base, which is to be expected. Overall I’m thrilled with having music to listen to while swimming. I only swam for about 35 minutes last night, and I couldn’t tell you how far I swam, I was concentrating on the music and the nuance of my stroke, which is exactly what I need to be focusing on, not how much time has passed or how tired I am. Mission accomplished.

Since the weather is taking a turn for the worst I think I’m going to set up the trainer in the house and work out some of the kinks on the road bike. Unfortunately I can’t just leave it up, so I’ll have to actually schedule the rides, but that’s fine.

I’ve decided also that one of my goals for next year will be to run a race outside the country. There are several great tri’s in the Bahamas and the BVI’s. This would be another good reason to get back down to Nassau and the Graycliff inn. By then we should have a nice 4 or 5 person team that can travel together.

Well, that’s all for now, more to follow later…
