T.W.I.S.T.E.R. - March Winds Challenge (Page 40)

pdbman - 2010-03-15 3:52 PM Just got back from the pool. It was a little frustrating. First I forgot my towel and didn't have time to go back and get it so I choose to make due without it. I even checked my bag before I left to see what I needed, noticed I needed a towel and put everything else in that I needed except for my towel.  I had to eat my words for all those times I used to think "How could you forget your towel, swimsuit, etc?"  A few things I learned from this.  
1-Be patient when people do "stupid" things. You will probably do the same thing at some point.
2-Fleece jackets, do not work work as a substitute for a towel.
3-It takes exactly two paper towels to dry my short hair.  I like having short hair.

My other frustration had to do with lane etiquette. I won't go into details but I think pools should have a jellyfish lane. I just kept telling myself "This is just practice for a tri when you're having to swim around other people and getting kicked, etc." Self talk doesn't usually work for me. I should have gone to the pool an hour earlier.
What did I learn from this?  I still need to learn patience.

I really need to find a Sunday morning running partner.  I set my alarm every Sunday morning and lately it's been too easy to hit the snooze.  The tri group I ride with does run regularly on Sunday's, so I'll have to start joining them...although I think they're all too fast for me.  But the main thing is that I get my butt out there.
