A pool, a pool. My kingdom for a pool.

Why is the City of Austin Parks and Recreation doing this to me. With 3 weeks left until the half Ironman they go and close Balcones Pool for two weeks. Ugh. Balcones pool is so convenient for me. I can get there swim for 40 minutes and get back to my desk during my lunch hour. Now that is out. The closest pool is now a 20 minute drive. So today now when I want to swim I have to schlep it downtown to deep eddy and hope there isn't a twenty minute wait for a lane. I guess I'll chalk this up to another lesson in being flexible.
