Subject: RE: 5.4.16 What Up Wednesday! So far the swim is still on. Not sure how reassured I am by the word from our LBS mechanic when I went to pick Rover up (he's been dismantled and packaged for the plane ): "It's safe, because the Hong Kong government sent a bunch of officials there for the May Day holiday, and they all went swimming yesterday." Uh-HUH. I remember being so happy when that shop opened because it's run by Taiwanese and the mechanic speaks Chinese (so do I--used to teach it; lived there for a decade ), so I can actually communicate with him. Now I'm not so sure!
Anyhow, just 1500m of swimming today, which, bafflingly, took less than 26 minutes although all but 300m was easy effort. Maybe I counted wrong, or taper is really messing with me.
No complaints--still healthy as of today. May be a different story after the race, though!
