I woke up looking to give my body a break and do a little swimming instead of the H8 workout going on at Okwata. Being a little beat up, a swim would be a great recovery. Rolling into the Aquatic center at UNO around 5:28 am, I saw Maverick moseying up to the front I but didn’t see any other PAX or the Q’s vehicle. Must be running a little late, or so I thought.
When Maverick and I got to the outdoor pool, the gates were locked and things didn’t look so good. No Q and no access to the pool! What the $%##! After a few moments, the facility person made his way out and apologized for being late and opened up the gates to the pool. Wheww!…Hmmmm…still no Q. Well, because we are leaders, we lead! YHC came up with a quick 1700 meter (1.056 mile) swim workout.
200 meter warm up
4 – 50 meters / 1 minute (Basically swim a 50 and if you have time left before a minute is up, you take a break and go again when the minute is completed. This proved a little too ambitious)
8 – 50 meters / 1:05
4 – 100 meters / 2 minutes
2 – 200 meters
100 meter cool down
Finished with the namerama and the COT. The substitute Q wanted to share something that helps us (Gen Xers) have perspective. With all the places we have gone and things we have done in this life, It is of extreme importance to know where you are heading when this life is over. I referenced the prophet Jeremiah’s writings from Jeremiah 9:23-24.
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, 24 but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
