Two workouts on the 2nd

SWIM: 3050y in 75 mins
BIKE: about 25 miles in 90 mins

A good way to start the 2012 swim season--on time!  Today was long endurance free day, I swam more aggressively than usual and kept up with the group. I would miss 50's but otherwise stayed on track. Had to change the 5x200 to 5x150.  Just too tired from Saturday's uber-long swim.

CHG's Tip of the Day: my forward arm needs to stay out longer, and when it does come down to catch it shouldn't sweep under me. Instead it should sweep under my side (because I should still be on my side). The hand should sweep out a bit. When I tried this at the end, I felt longer and better.

The bike was the usual 90 min mix of big/small and sit/stand and rest/push. I was popping Endurolytes before and after to help with the losses I had to be experiencing.

I was in a very upbeat mood all morning and spent the day off with the DH. But come dinner time I was sacked. I ended up taking a nap, my first IronNap of this season!

Still debating Redman full. I was telling some swim buddies about my thinking, and someone pointed out that everything sounds fun on January 2nd! LOVE IT!!
