Maybe it's time to change the description of this blog so I don't refer to myself as a swimmer because I'm convinced I no longer am a swimmer.
This morning started with another swim where I felt like I had no idea what my body was doing, but this time it didn't bother me at all. I've come to accept that my swimming is strong enough to beat most triathletes and triathlon seems to be worth having lousy swims right now. This morning I did feel great when we did the 10 minute pull set. Everything felt balanced and I had better body position thanks to my flotation device and paddles. Next week I'm going to get some inflatable water wings and see if those help.
At lunch I hit the weights and did my best to keep from losing more muscle. Tried to work the legs pretty hard because I think I need to get more strength there to ride faster.
My evening workout was an 80 minute trainer ride. Man did I sweat like a pig (do pigs really sweat?). It felt pretty good anyway and I'm looking forward to heading out tomorrow on the road bike for an easy 35 miler.
By the way, yesterday when I said I was looking to run 10 miles this weekend, I've decided that's a bad idea after some reading and some e-mail exchanges with Jason. I'll probably do something with speed work this weekend instead and next weekend I'll aim for a long run.
