SWIM 1hr and 2600y, 10x100's
BIKE 1hr and 13 miles, hard to believe that's it...
COMMUTE total of 7 miles
Rode to the Y, swam, did the 1hr ride ending at work, then rode home. Whew!
It is remarkably cool out these days, I would expect July to be hot and humid in the morning but not so. Cool and light and only mid 80's by the end of the day. I hear that changes for tomorrow, but for today it's great.
My legs felt fresh the first few miles of the ride, and I marveled at how good they feel after a riding day off. That didn't last, soon enough I was pulling for more effort on any upward incline.
The swim plan called for 6x100 WU, 10x100 MS, and 6x100 CD. Too short! So I added to the WU. The Black-Haired Blerch arrived after I'd started (bonus!) so I "missed" talking too much to her. The water was nice and warm again, and cloudy. I also learned the pool shut down won't be until Aug 18! Yay, finally the schedule works FOR me.
I did the 100's hard but not sprint, doing the first at 1:48 and 1:50 before settling in just a little longer than that. I pulled 3, 6, and 9 because I wanted to remind myself of the better form and feel I have pulling. However, since I'm adding more kick in the swim the pull lacks that feel now.
I'm happy to say that my swimming is coming back to me, the mojo of it I mean. I was actually thinking about doing a Swimming Streak, to see how many days in a row I could swim. I'd have to build in skip days, maybe the better way to word it is how many 5x-a-week swim weeks can I do in a row?
The bike was going to be an out n back towards the RDP greenway, but I decided against that so I could get to work on time. So around FoPa and Wydown. I was lethargic, tired, and struggling a little. Still...only 13 miles? Gotta remember that I didn't use the Garmin and that's not auto-paused time I guess.
Later at work, I'm hungry and unfocused. I need more food but I left my wallet in my tote bag!! Luckily I had some canned tuna and I scoured up some mayo (and not the good ingredient mayo) from a common drawer...see if that last's me a few hours!!
