25 down

Tonight I swam my 25th mile. That means I'm one quarter of the way to my 100-mile goal. I had planned to treat myself to something when I hit this point. Unfortunately, when I got to the pool tonight, I realized that I didn't have my new goggles and swim cap. They're not in the lost and found there, and I can't find them at home or in my car. So I guess my treat will be another new pair of goggles and a swim cap. Sigh.

For motivation's sake, I've waited until this point to do some workout number crunching. So here it goes. My 25 miles means that I ...

• swam 900 laps (1,800 lengths).
  
• spent about 25 hours in the lap lanes.
• burned 16,575 calories (almost five pounds).
• can swim up to seven strokes between breaths.
• could have swum from my house to Derby or Andover.
