Another brick, this one a bike-swim

BIKE 40 mins about 12 miles, indoors
Bike to YMCA 3.5 miles
SWIM 45 mins and 1500y
Bike to work 2.8 miles
Bike home, total BIKE COMMUTE 11 miles

I thought it would be closer to 4 miles to bike to the Y, I keep mixing that up with the distance to BRR. Took only 20 mins to bike to Y, 10 mins from parking to deck, 15 mins deck to parking, then another 15 to work via The Hill. I almost drove this! The mental maths indicated a big loss in time though, adding a half hour at least. I woke up to 48F weather, and I thought about driving?!

The indoor ride was, well, an indoor ride. Did VGR sets. The swim was really a 30 min workout but took me 46 mins as I took my time and rested. My upper back and shoulders are a little sore from Monday still and I could feel the rear deltoids (not sure those should be tired from swimming...bad form?) but I was able to swim. The MS was 6x150 as 50 kick, 50 swim, 50 choice. That made it easy for me to rotate muscles.

I could feel my right ankle and a thigh muscle fatiguing, thought one might cramp but not today. I met Kelly, and Evolve swimmer planning on IM70.3 Chat :)  Enjoyed chatting with other Y members. Enjoyed just being back.

We'll see how my back feels about that later today! I'm not doing the planned swim for tomorrow, most certainly don't need that or maybe even the optional Friday swim. Maybe move that to Saturday, keep it short? Thinking yoga on Friday? I don't want to burn out here in the first week. And I'm thinking I might have to repeat this two week introductory phase of the plan.
