My body has recovered after a weekend of camping and fishing (lots of bug bites but no fish bites or fish to speak of). I took my MTB with us camping, but I slept so well each night and well into the morning that I didn't ride it.
And today I had great workouts.
Started in the morning w/ 1 mile OWS in 25:51. Time was slower than previous, but I think I swam pretty crooked lines. I actually smacked into a guy this morning. I haven't seen anyone else out there in my other swims. Then today, I'm swimming along, thinking I finally feel 100% comfortable in open water and watching the rocks go by and then completely zoning when WHAM! I run into something. I popped up and it was another swimmer. It was completely my fault, and he was nice about it. Dang that scared me! Gotta pay attention in the water. At least I haven't run off the road on the bike recently cuz I'm constantly telling myself I gotta pay attention after I ran off the road a few times last year.
Great 5 mile run at lunch. PR'd my usual 5 mile lunch course, beating previous time by 1:32 and it wasn't a race effort, just a hard effort. Beautiful weather, too.
After work did my Portland tri simulation route. Got my best times going up the big Terry hill to start, and then my best split going up the other side on the way home. I only did two hill intervals, the first an average time and the second about a minute off average time (not sure what I was doing but it did feel slow). My downhill times both beat previous bests for those splits, too. It started to sprinkle at the beginning of the second hill interval, so I got to practice riding in the rain for the first time. I'm definitely much slower and very careful with wet roads, so maybe that was it.
A great day! And then I got Paul to sleep without rocking him at all. Just put him in the crib with "Harry the Horse," a little doll thing, turned on the mobile three different times, and he was eventually asleep. First time for that!
A good day all around!
