I'd look at me funny...

Imagine you're at the neighborhood pool, and someone comes in with their bike, helmet and all, and then proceeds to take off shoes and socks, etc, to jump in the pool with their shorts on! And these aren't swim shorts, they're those nasty spandex ones that had, we thought, taught lessons back in the eighties about how ridiculous people look in them. In addition, the pool of choice for this weirdo is not 25 meters long and has no lanes to speak of. "No lanes and not enough distance?" the weirdo says to herself, "no problem; I'll swim circles around the perimeter of the pool!" After 20 minutes, give or take, she climbs out of the pool, puts on her socks and shoes, pulls her goggles down around her neck, dons some bike gloves and a helmet and she's pedaling away, dripping wet! If this weren't a real story starring me, I know I'd look at that person funny. Take comfort knowing it isn't you while I rethink my choice in training venues.
