Lifeguards chased me from the pool at .6K for lightning and I finished the K in the indoor pool. This is 20-meter pool instead of the outdoor 25-, and is much warmer. The outdoor water is 80 degrees, insanely warm; I didn't see a thermometer in the indoor but it felt close to blood heat, which was probably because of contrast.
As I left it was sprinkling, and as I crossed Colorado Boulevard the sprinkling because rain. I debated waiting it out in the mall or the Tattered Cover but pressed on, and as soon as I veered north toward home the skies opened.
It was a terrific ride. The rain was even warm. I paused under a maple to tuck my iPod into my shell, which I do carry but disdained to wear. Thunder sounded a lot farther away than would excite my concern--I wouldn't have chased me out of the pool--and my shoes didn't get soaked through until about three blocks from home.
Eight plus miles of city ride and 1K freestyle.
