Summer Sports

Summer is here and I'm training for my second Sprint Triathlon. It's the Subaru WesternTriathlon  to be exact. As a result, my mind has been a little more on the swimming and the biking and the running and not so much on the sketching and the printing and the sewing. And when I do sketch and print and sew, well, it seems I still am thinking of the swimming and the biking and the running. You get the point, I am sure. 

Although you can complete a triathlon without all the expensive gear, you do need a fair bit of stuff and lugging it around can be a hassle. My regular sports bag has recently been stretched to its limits with the addition of new swim fins and an extra water bottle, so I decided to make myself a quick and easy draw-string bag for all things swim-related. It holds my towel, my fins, goggles, swim cap, swim suit and all the gadgets and nicnacs I carry with me. Next version will have a separate pocket for my wallet and pool card.
