Went to the Sheldon Pool and swam for the first time since October!

On the way: had a mini-passive-aggressive road-rage incident! Turned onto a busy street by by old work (a brutal area, relatively, for traffic in EUG). It was 4 lanes that merged into two. I had been in the R lane and stuck behind a turning car, so once they turned, I gunned it in my R lane, then merged as the lane ended into the single lane. Well this fuckin' BMW (classic N Eug rich DEHCK) accelerated to try to not let me merge. Well...I didn't care! So I merged in...and was half in the lane, and half in the bike lane, while HE(?) was half in the lane and half in the center turn lane! Our cars were LITERALLY a foot apart. I calmly "waved hello" as we both were side-by-side - two cars abreast in a single lane - before he dropped back! "F you dickhead". :-) Seriously. The stupid thing is he TURNED OFF the road (presumably to his house) two fucking blocks later. Wow.

Had a pretty good swim - stroke felt good, but still really hard to do a regular stroke without spiking the HR. Swam for a full 30min without much break.
