Unfocused Flying

SWIM: 1400 in 50 mins, fly day

BIKE: 22.5 miles in 75 mins, big and small ring pyramids

My first swim back had to be on fly day. I bought by new punch card and tried to get excited but it just wasn't there. I was happy to swim, but it just wasn't there. I couldn't get a grip on the water, it just flowed past my hands. I could feel it rippling over my forearms. I was moving forward, but slowly. And every touch to the wall left me gasping for air. Unfocused.

At one point we did fly with fins and I felt the first twinges of a hamstring cramp. That was it. I was out. I got out early and cut my losses.

The bike was much better. I was starving hungry by the time I got home from the swim, ate about 500 calories (!) then hopped on for the ride. After a weak swim I went for redemption in the ride and did the entired session as planned.

I need to get focused and work on the hydration. I've been dehydrated for most of the past week. When I don't feel good, I just don't drink much.
