Monday morning swim

SWIM 46 minutes and 2000 yards
BIKE COMMUTE maybe 2 miles from Forest Park, for rain

It was one of those days that I lingered at the house, knowing it was going to rain later had me wondering my best plan. Drive and bike from FoPa? Ride anyway? Ride to gym then lab then home? In the rain? Or drive to gym, go back home for the bike?

In the end I picked the option that made it most likely I would swim. And stay dry. And warm. It's still only high 40's out there.

I had an alarm for 5:30, snoozed to maybe 5:50, did ?????? until 7 when I walked the dog, did ?????? more delays until 8am when I left for gym. Ugh, gotta get my morning schedule on track.

At the gym, I saw DS at the counter. She recognized my Castlewood Cup hoodie. She joked about my being there at 8:15 (late!) and still not swimming. She's right, I gotta get my morning back to a proper schedule.

My mind can be very binary. If I have a plan of 60 mins and I don't have time for the 60 mins, my mind will jump to Cancel instead of Modify. Need to work on that too. I brought a workout from my Triathletes swim book, but most of the way into it I realized I was forgetting an entire segment and needed another 550 yards to round it out. (Turns out I skipped a 6x100 pull set at the end). That was a good skip. Didn't need it.

WU was 200 S, and 2x200 as 50P 100K 50P
MS was moderate 300-200-100, Neg Split 200-100-50, Fast 100 50
   then the 6x100 pull.

Instead I did the moderate and Neg split as half swim/half pull, and did about 300-400 fins at the end. Happily I modified to fit time, and goal. Shot for 2000 yards.

My skin is dry and itchy, yay that means I'm a swimmer! Right?

At work I took a few minutes to catch up on races. MT100 on 2018 hiatus. Dark2Dawn is July 1st, they have a 10K option. Farmdale is Oct 6-7. Potawatomi is Aprl 7-8. Getting the itch. (Not referring to dry skin, hahaha!)

And I gotta get caught up on my Songlist notes, been adding but not logging.
So far.
