Getting back into the swim of things

SWIM: 2240y (1.27 mi) in about 45-60 mins, didn't track the time. Did the workout mostly as planned, I only report that because I haven't done that much lately. 400WU, then 75% ladders of 150, 250, 350, 350, 250, 150 then 100CD. Didn't do the mixed freestyle/other in the plan. I felt awesome in the swim, I guess that's what you get for 2 days off. I was able to feel the water sliding by my forward hand, I think I was feeling the glide that I had only read about before. Seems I do better to with big grabs of water putting my hands in far ahead of me, instead of an early entry. Could be it just feels that way too. Time to call J for another lesson--need to discuss tired arms (should be back muscles?), tight neck after swimming, and inability to get faster (I just push more water).

BIKE: 27 miles 90 mins, could have been outside, but then I wouldn't have the intervals: 15min WU, 3x3min ILT, then mixed intervals in 10 min blocks, ex 7 min at 75% then 3min at 60%, etc. Finished with a 15 min 75% effort. Got a little bored at the end.

Was going to run, I thought it would make a neat triathlon day, but DH came home and we had errands to run. Well, a different type of run there. What a day, all to myself!!
