Swim 2000, spin
Woke up this morning at o-dark-thirty. Turned off the alarm, closed my eyes, and promptly jumped out of bed 15 minutes later when my Treo alarm went off. That's the project manager in me coming out, you have to have a contingency plan.
Jumped into a chilly pool at 5:10. After reading Bill Bishop's race recap, I felt like a wuss for griping about the water temperature. I did 1200, then jumped out and went up to Jane's spin class. Today was race day, so we had a lot of high energy stuff to keep the cadence up. The Riverdance stuff made me laugh, because I was imagining racing my bike along a road lined with folks from Lord of the Dance. Quite a mental image of all of these folks interlocking arms, wearing tights, and jumping around watching a triathlon.
After spin, it was back down to the pool for a quick 800. Not many folks in the pool at that point.
Two days into my toughest week of training this year. In retrospect, I should have done more than 800 when I hopped back into the pool. I'm back-end loading a bunch of training into the latter part of this week. The plan is a speed workout tomorrow morning followed by another 2000 swim. I might add a little more to the swim.
