Swimmers getting ready


Hey,

It's been a jammed packed week once again, no slowing down these days, although I should as I had an extremely freaky experience earlier this week. I was at a baseball game (rockies vs yankees) and was feeling normal until suddenly within 5 mins, both my arms became numb, my breathing was quite shallow, my hearing went, then my vision became quite blurry. Fortunately I did not faint and managed to walk over to the water fountain and started splashing cold water continously on my face/neck/arms throughout the evening, until I finally went home to rest. I think it was a combination of being dehydrated from the extreme heat and low blood pressure. Didn't do any form of strenuous exercise this past week since I didn't want to jeopardize my triathlon race, which is in a few weeks time. I did however volunteered my services at a tri-event and got to watch some of the pros compete. I'm still petrified of the open swim as I have only been in the pool twice and my race is approaching rapidly :(

Nonetheless, I capped off the week by attending a Greek festival, where I scoffed down a spinakopita and bakalava, and then attended a free Jazz concert in a park nearby my apartment. Overall, quite an entertaining week for me. Stay tuned for next week's adventures.
