Subject: RE: 9.27.16 Tuesday Training Yikes--I feel sick just thinking about that run at 4:45 AM! (I'm sure I've done something like that sometime, but it still sounds scary! )
AM: 45 minute easy run.
PM: 3000m of swimming, barely.....
Thought my swim was doomed. Repeat of yesterday--couldn't get in the pool until 4:35, by which time it was already looking gloomy outside. Figured I would just swim my workout until I got chased out again. Kept swimming, and finishing sets, but it never really did anything outside. With 200m to go it started raining a bit, and the lifeguard was giving me these "are you done yet" looks, but I'd finished with a really hard 100m and needed to cool down. Maybe five seconds after I got out of the pool (gathering up cap, goggles, and paddles into my bag ) the thunder and lightning hit again. MORE TORRENTIAL RAIN AND FLOODING. Complete repeat of last night, only a bit shorter (about 75 minutes ). Flooding just as bad since ground is now saturated. Not sure why I bothered to shower and change--should have just walked home in my tri suit and goggles!
Arrrrgh. I really hope the lifeguard got home safely--his wife is expecting in a few months.
ETA This is a different district of the city and not my shot, but we have had a similar level of flooding! A colleague who was coming from downtown last night had water coming in the door of her taxi. Edited by Hot Runner 2016-09-27 7:47 AM
