COMMUTE 6 miles
My second week of recovery continues, and finally about mid-week I really started to perk up. My commutes started feeling easy and fast, no more tired legs. The Thursday run was a bit weak and I had a headache, but enjoyed it still.
On Thursday's commute home I came across another cyclist, the first I've encountered that takes cycling safety more seriously than I do. I seem to ride on a street with many many casual riders that blow off stop signs and act nuts. This guy had awesome lights and gear, fully stopped, took the lane when safer to do so, and pointed me to Cycling Savy -- a local safety course for cyclists. Before leaving work I put extra lights and reflectives on, thought I was all set and covered until I came up upon him!
Thursday was a full moon day. Went to bed Weds and Thurs with the moon in the east. Woke up Thurs and Friday to a beautiful moon setting in the west. :)
Friday's swim was a 500y TT effort, did it in 9:36 for a 100y ave of 1:55. Ooooof, I slowed down! Not unexpectedly though, given the long distance effort training, the race, and the recovery. Might as well set the baseline low! Then I did a 5x100 (10s) in 10:08. Once you subtract the 40 seconds of rest it calculates out to a 100 y ave time of 1:54.
SM recommended some fast 50 and 100 y efforts in my upcoming swims. LOL, anything to get faster than this!
It's cold on my commutes, cold in the lab, cold at home. Sometimes I can't seem to get warm! It's no mystery to me as to why, I'm lacking insulation. But it's so crazy that this morning the lifeguard A asked we what I changed in my diet this year. Heh, there's a long answer and a short answer...I gave him the latter.
