Another swim, happily managed to get all goals this morning

BIKE COMMUTE 16 miles, to pool with extra TGP loop
SWIM 20 mins 800 yards of easy drills

So happy to report that I stuck to my "even if just 20 minutes goal" for swimming today. There were many times I could have detoured, but I think I really did want to swim! And it helps to just do 20 minutes. It's enough to make it worthwhile, short enough to not wear you out, and JFC if you can't bring yourself to suffer for just 20 mins then what kind of lazy ass are you?

All said in the afterglow of having done the swim. We'll see what tomorrow detours me to.

Alternate sleeping arrangements over night (another challenge for the morning) and so I'm low on sleep. I biked to TGP and focused on  easy ride as my legs were feeling trashed from last 4 days of work. Got to the pool later than planned but I remembered my bike lock this time, so I was happy enough. Did the Guppy Challenge 1-2, this time I read the instructions before hand (so yesterday followed the numbers but not the workouts really):
--6x50 easy reaching forward arm out to the wall. This felt good, but my elbow was not "high" in the catch
--3x100 as 4x25 of 1-arm, swim, other-arm, swim. Could I use a pull buoy on this? I did, flippers might have helped too, I stalled out from going slow. The goal was to keep the forward arm at at the surface of the water, not to let it drag low. Well mine drags low. Another goal was to not bend the torso when breathing, can't tell if I do that so I probably do. When it happens, your forward hand might be reaching for the wall but still crossing the centerline of the body.
--Then a 200 to wrap it up. Didn't have the time or arms for all 5 200s in the plan.

Bike to work with low-energy legs, lunch with TV. Not much else got done at work, lotsa sitting and reading.
