pool chaos

So I get there, and it looks closed. But I know that there's an exercise class going on, and based on earlier conversations, I know that there should still be two lanes open for swimmers. I go in the changeroom. It no longer smells of 1981 (aka: chloringe + kidgrime), now that March break is over and they've had a chance to clean. I use the bathroom. It floods over. I go to put my suit on, and my towel is suspiciously damp. I haven't hung my gear up since Saturday's swim. Damp suit on, I see that there's an in-service about to happen. Chaos. I manage one-half of the day's goal, one timed 800m. I'll be back.

warm-up (400m): mixed.
main set (800m): 800m, timed at 14:50. Not so great, but not so bad given a) chaos, and b) not having swum much lately.
warm-down (100m): 100m and a chat with Matt, who I haven't seen in months.
===1300m
