Man I need to replace my pool buoy. It's about 20 years old and one that I inherited from the Deseret Gym when it was torn down. I probably swam with this buoy in high school. It is so rough. It's like sandpaper. Half way through the last 1600 set I had to take it off. My inner thighs were so chaffed that I almost started bleeding. Its messed up cause I feel an attachment to that old piece of training equipment! But it's not being very nice to me!

Got in the pool at 5:45am this morning so I didn't feel rushed and was able to finish the whole set well before 8:00am. Nice!

Happy Earth day!
