Today's workout was probably one that just should've been skipped altogether, but i didn't want to take two rest days in a row. It was a loooong day. Got up at 6:00 am to get to swim meet and was S/T judge for about 2.5 hours. Then drove 2.5 hours to get to airport (which was still nightmare busy with all the people who got snowed in ove rthe last couple days).

Waited for late flight, arrived in San Diego, finally made it to (very nice!) hotel, walked to convention center for conference orientation, and got back to room at about 9:30 local time, so 11:30 pm central time. Decided to head for the workout room. Blah. One of the big issues was my eating today--a couple slim fast bars in the morning, a sad kind of bbq pork on a bun with a cookie on the plane, and a pecan bar at orientation does not exact make good workout fuel.

I'm such an idiot sometimes! I just got a call from the St. Croix Valley YMCA reminding me that I never picked up my medal from the Perch Lake Swim...which was last August. Doh! The one time I actually win some hardware and I totally forget to go and get it!

They are being kind enough to intercompany mail it to the Hastings Y so I can (hopefully remember to) pick it up there. :)

On the training front, this is likely a rest day. Friday rest days are all the rage lately.

Noon update: Ok, I'm outta here folks! I'm at an out of town swim meet with the kid tonight, and then off to San Diego tomorrow for a work conference. I'll be back Thursday, but will surely try to check in before then. Ciao!
