3rd day in a row of great swims. And prolly another tomorrow!

SWIM 2000 yards in about 50 mins
BIKE COMMUTE 9.4 miles

3rd day of my Guppy Challenge, this was 1-3
4x50 free ez
4x50 pull buoy no bending
4x50 kick (put these between the 300s for a rest interval)
4x300 focus on technique

Up early and out the door again by 5:16am, wonderful morning -- warm, calm, humid from recent rains. Still dark as I left but the sky was just beginning to lighten up.

Once again in lane 3 with the snorkel guy. Didn't chat this time, but someone needs to point out his complete lack of rotation and lifted head. Not me though. Gotta sort my own swim out first.

My arms felt the burn but I never felt tired enough to stop. And I DID NOT PULL ANY OF THE 300, and that is MAJOR awesome. OK there were slow at just under 6:30 each, but I certainly wasn't hurrying or turning effectively. I just stayed focused.

5K tomorrow! Gotta look up my 5K PR. haha  21:05

And while I'm at it, yesterday IT and I were chatting about Sunset and he pointed out that he hadn't done a pool swim tri in a long time. Got me wondering about mine. Look that up too. 2009 South County YMCA, was a 50 m pool swim. Pretty close to the Sunset distances -- 400m swim, 11 mi bike and 3 mi run.  Finished in 1:08:05 and if I remember correctly I was just coming out of an ankle injury and was supposed to be wearing a boot!
