Me in the pool

| Bob,Me,Susan and Jacque before our ride |
Jacque, Susan and I met at the Aquatic Center to do our "wet" run of the TRI. Our husbands came along, as did Bob, to be our support team. There were a bunch of people there, all on swim teams. We got in the pool and started doing our 300 meters, when Susan and Jacque were told that they could not use the pool. I didn't hear the "orders" and kept going. I was at lap 5.5 when someone came and demanded that I get out of the pool. I couldn't believe it. I had checked numerous times with the life guards over the past weeks, including this past Friday, to make sure that the pool would be open. They assured me it would. Apparently it wasn't. What really gets me is that we pay $750.00 per year for our HOA fee which gives us access to the Aquatic Center, and these swim teams, mostly with members who don't even live in the area, get full access and get to kick us out. I am NOT HAPPY!
We got out of the pool, got on our bikes and rode the TRI route, doing 10 miles. Luckily Bob came along and stayed with me, otherwise I would have been by myself. Jacque and Susan, who have been taking spin classes, were a whole lot faster.
We all met back at the Aquatic Center, and then proceeded to walk for what we think was 3 miles (we didn't have the TRI route for the 3 miler). We finished in right about 2 hours. Considering our transitions were a lot longer than they will be at the TRI, we should be able to finish within the 2:20 time limit.
