Went to the pool at lunch, forgot my card and now "they're really cracking down on having your card" says the lifeguard. I can't find my card in my locker or at home, so I go get a new one ($15 for five minutes work on their part!). I go back to the pool to see that it works, and it does (at least I know I can swim tomorrow morning). By then, lunch was over and I had to go back to work. Then I noticed that the water was 87 degrees! I probably wouldn't have swum more than 500 yards in that anyway. "Yeah, we turned off the heat last night to bring down a few degrees," the lifeguard said. I guess I'll try to stay away from that.
Bike after work. Easy 20k, 42 minutes in heavy winds. Lots of bikers out today!
My legs are sore! Damn, that proves that I lost fitness and endurance this last few weeks. I can still walk ok, not like after the Poky 50 run, but I'm definintely sore.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
