One step towards the triathlon!
Went off to the local uni, ignored the fact everyone else was 22 and gorgeous, jumped in a lane, and saw if I could still swim.
Seems like I can. Slowly but surely, I swam 1k. 20 laps that is, of a 50 metre pool.
Exhilarating. Very fucking proud of myself. On a bit of a high I made enquiries at the front desk (manned by a skeptical 19 year old) about an oldies squad. He said the slowest lane was about 1.05 or 1.10 per 50, so I'll have to time myself in a few sets to see how I go.
I even saw a band aid in the water, floating around with a few hairs on it for the amusement of all.
Some things never change.
