My kind of TriFecta

BIKE 20 miles in 90 mins, TGP
RUN 3 miles in 33 mins, FoPa
SWIM 1100 yards in 30 mins, YMCA (haha)

BE and I rescheduled our Monday ride to today since I was still at home with LA. With the warm weather and the time change, this was a great ride. My energy still a bit flat, what's up with that? EW and her hubs were going to join, but decided to ride local instead. Great ride, we talked about everything but yesterday's elections!

The run was supposed to be 2.5 miles, my plan to get the midweek goal of 12 miles by doing a 5+2.5+4.5 sequence. Again it was a 3pm run. I turned around at 1.35 and thought on the way back I could take a shorter route. But once I got on the gravel and bridge section I enjoy and the lap counter beeped, I had a mental moment of "gosh, I'm 1 mile from the lab building? I can't cut it short!". So I take the gravel path west of the lake instead of the paved path that curves up east of the late. As I'm running south on Clayton along the lake, I realize my error that I only needed another 0.5 miles, not another full mile. Ooops.

The swim - again I was about 15 mins late but this time I wasn't in as much of a hurry. My right leg and both feet are fatigued and I can feel it in the push-off and kick sets. Injured? Or fatiged? Denial counts them as the same. I did 3x200 in 4:07 or so each. Just think back to August when I started this Beginner 3 Months to 1000K plan - I was barely doing 100s! 

Whew, what a day! I'm so behind on home life though. But I made a point upon getting home to walk the dog and mediate before sitting down to dinner. Those little movements really help me relax.

Again, no commute so I could get to the pool. Feels like I'm sinning against this unseasonably warm weather.
