Chlorine - an effective, yet painful sinus rinse

I've been in Canada this week for work.  Unfortunately my phone plan does not include any internet access when out of the country so I couldn't do any quick blog updates or check FB or anything of that sort.  I could have plugged in at night at the hotel, but folks I was pooped!   Each night I came home from dinner and went to bed.   (in my defense I usually didn't get home from dinner until 9:30 or 10pm...)

Since my training session with TM I was trying to find a way to incorporate swimming while I was on this trip.  Lucky for me there was YMCA located right across the street from my hotel!  Two separate mornings I got up early and went to swim.

Ok, swim might be an overstatement....  I spent 30 minutes each time doing the drills TM showed me during our last session.  In between the drills I would swim a "regular" lap.  For some reason the more I swam the more water I got in my mouth, up my nose, in my ears, in my eyeball!!! (somehow a bit of water slipped in my goggles.  I still haven't figured out how that happened!)  And when I say "the more I swam" I don't mean the further into my 30 minutes.  That would make sense because I would be getting tired and sloppy.  Nope - my Thursday swim was lots worse than Tuesdays.  That doesn't make sense because I would think I was getting better at it, not worse.

Perhaps I'm over-thinking it....

But I have been getting a lot more water in places it doesn't belong.  Especially up my nose.  Which burns like a mother.  So I would like to apologize to the members of the London, Ontario YMCA Centre Branch for any inadvertent snot rockets that I may or may not have left in the pool.

While writing this it reminded me that I have still been swimming with only one suit.  Yes, WG, I can hear you now "swimming with one suit on should suffice"...  So I went online and purchased my second suit from splish.com.  Of course I got one on sale 'cuz I'm like that.  (unless said item is a Clark shoe...)

Once I confirm my size with this company I'm sooo getting the Wonder Woman suit or what I call the "Super Hero" suit!!
