8/5 2 mi swim

I was supposed to do a 2mi ows but the weather looked terrible and so I scooted to California Park 50m pool for laps there. They have open swim, adult swim, and lap swim all back-to-back so I knew I could get it all in. 

First off the people running this pool were 100% nicer than Portage Park!!  They explained to me the times and stuff and let me do what I wanted. Lap swim had already started and I jumped in to get it done. After lap swim was over, again I had to sit outside the water for 15 minutes for them to remove the lane lines and continue with open swim. This meant that at about 75% of the way down, they put in a lane line to cut horizontally across the pool (shallow from deep end). I didn't care because it really looked like it was going to storm (it rained while I was in the pool earlier and was quite chilly outside). Again, I used it as another obstacle to go under, perhaps like ironman will be!

After 1.5miles my body said "you're done" and I decided to head home. I was happy that I went to the pool because the ows was cancelled anyway (keeps happening in Monday and Wednesdays this summer!) and I was able to get at least a portion of my swim in before the thunder and lightning rolled in.
