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!

Today's the day! I'm doing something a bit different in this lecture, shaping my thoughts around the work and intellectual legacy of John Gillis. It'll be recorded, for people who can't be in the room or on the Zoom today in Bern!
