I went back to the pool on my way home from work last night.  Unlike the day before, the place was empty, which was fine with me.  I was just getting into the meat of the workout when a rather large woman came out and started arranging flotation devices around the side of the pool.  It didn’t take me long to realize she was the leader of the water buffalo that would soon appear.  Seeing them wade into the pool made it more than obvious why the place was deserted.  And I’m not just talking about the pool, either.  On Wednesday, the entire parking lot was full of cars and the whole gym was humming with people.  Having the water buffalo tromping around in their polyester tarpaulins is enough to scare everyone away… even me.  As soon as they removed the lane line, I got out and tried to avoid catching a glimpse of whatever they were doing as I high stepped out of there.

I had been trying to follow my own advice and take less rest between intervals and have more intervals per set, but the cows chased me away.
