Swim 1/2 Mile

I had a late call and my legs were feeling heavey so I went swimming instead of running. Swam a half mile. It really takes me a 1/4 mile to get going fast. I suppose I should do a warm up swim before racing, but I feel I have limited energy and don't want to waste any. The guy in the next lane I think was also a triathlete-- he had on a pink cap with a faded number marked on it. He was lapping me easy.

I think I am a good swimmer, but I have a ways to go.
