MTB and swimming


Got in a nice two hour mountain bike (MTB) ride this morning on a day off. After big rain last night, I thought the trails might be really muddy, but they were still dry. Legs felt good, too. Broke a chain link, not because of my massive power....it's the original chain from 15 years ago! Tim was smart enough to have a chain tool, and smart enough to know how to use it....otherwise I would've been walking home (or calling for a ride!). It was a great day, and I learned something too (broken chain).

Then we went to the Ross Park pool to get Paul in some outdoor swim time, his first go at an outdoor pool. I think he liked the cool water more than the warm water at the hospital baby class. I'm pretty sure he had fun! Pix below. I wanted to get in some laps, but my shorts and goggles were locked up in the gym that's closed for the holiday.....simply another story to add to the many about my inability to swim at the ISU pool.




Getting in.


Mom is taking him for a cruise in the lazy river.


Checking out "the sights" already!


Good times at the pool!
