Not only can I not ride my bike because I’m still in recovery (according to the physical therapist) but now I got the sickness that’s been going around. The PT thinks everything is coming along well and they will have me back on the bike soon. I’m jonesing!
Some thoughts about swimming 1

I’ve been swimming for about a week, okay maybe a few days shy of a week but still enough to have some thoughts about it:
- I find it strange that after I get done swimming and dry off I still sweat… it’s a strange sensation.
- When I bend over after I swim water leaks out of my nose (this happened tonight).
- Swimming is pretty cool because you can fart without anyone knowing.
- I’ve thought about peeing while I swim but then I realize that I would be swimming in my own urine. yuk!
- Tonight I changed up my breathing pattern from every third stroke to every forth stroke. It really felt more natural.
- I’ve finally found my rhythm where I can swim back to back laps for at least 25 minutes straight.
- I strangely like swimming at night with the pool lights on.
- Swimming is not as relaxing as riding a bike. I miss the wind in my hair and the escape from civilization.
- Instead of being called Lance at work people now jokingly refer to me as Phelps.
- When you forget to breath it really fucks things up.
