Reason #236

Reason #236 I love Missoula: Splash Montana!

This summer is an exciting one in the garden city. Our brand new pool facility is open. This means we have a 50m outdoor pool with long course swimming 7 days a week. Heaven!

Just adjacent to our brand new pool is Splash Montana. Splash Montana is the Willy Wonka of swimming pools. For $4.00 you get a 50m outdoor pool, 3 water slides, intertubes, a lazy river, logs to run across, flowers that shower, pails that drop water on you, and a ton of people!!!

It was a hot weekend here in Missoula with highs in the mid-nineties. My day started with a 1.5 hour run with my run partner extraordinaire: Julie Ham. I think we laughed more than we ran. Ooops! After that, we were off to experience Splash with Chris.

Oh! The fun we had. First, I had to do a recovery swim. Lucky for me I have good friends. Chris swam the first 30 minutes with me, and Julie swam the last part with me. After that, we greased ourselves up so we could get that extra momentum going down the slides. I was laughing so hard I think I could count it as an ab workout. Way to beat the heat!

I just finished a hard few days of training and now I am all about resting as I prepare for the Lake Stevens 70.3 in just a week.

More soon!
