Still stoked from my 25 meter time from last week, I decided to try to treat myself to a new swimsuit. Usually our local sports shop doesn't have anything I like, but today I found a nice new Arena suit - black with pink accents. Then I saw a shocking pink swim cap in a junior size. Since I have kind of a tiny head, I decided to buy it. It turned out to fit me very well - I never realized how irritating my old swim caps were. Tried out the suit and it worked fine as well.

Before I went swimming this evening I wrote to a good friend and told him how much I liked that there was hardly anybody in the tool. Never should have done that - tonight there were 3 times as many people as normal. Up to 4 people in each lane - unheard of! Luckily every one was well behaved, so I was able to swim happily and wasn't annoyed that they were there.

I decided to do another timed 25 meter free and I was completely elated when I shaved off 0.76 seconds from my time from last week. It must be the power of pink. When I bought my suit, I asked the store if they were going to be donating cash to breast cancer research because it was pink and purchased in October. They smiled and said, "No, we had an event last Saturday with a 20% discount on sports bras" . I'm still high from my new fastest time for 25 meters, so I'm going to make a donation now - you should too. www.stoetbrysterne.dk
