Ground Hog Swim Meet

The pool in Westport

The pool in Westport

This morning I swam in the Conn Masters Swimming meet in Westport. It was the first time I’ve raced in a pool with a timer since…maybe the 1980s? I was faster as an 18 year old, but I was pretty pleased with the results. Winning my division in the 200 IM isn’t a great triumph — I was the only 45-49 year old man who swam the event — but overall I feel pretty good about my 6:49.02 in the water this morning. A very different feel from open-water races!

Walks in the winter woods in early 2021 have taken me through two big climate books that have a funhouse mirror reflective quality. First I devoured KSR's latest doorstopper, a hopeful vision of global eco-response.
