May Day

I woke up at 5:30 today without provocation. Bah. I would have gone to the pool then, but it is the weekend. What I really should have done is taken my bike out.

Swam an interesting set today. Warm up followed by three sets of 250, each 50 getting easier than the previous. This was not a simple task. I struggled through the first two (actually, I cheated through the first one, struggled through the second one) and finally paced myself at the start enough to be able to breathe through the third one. Not pleasant. But a worthy learning experience. And trying to recover while swimming is a much easier task when the swim is leisurely, in case you were wondering.

Hopped on my bike (in shorts and tank top!!) to ride the park - which was packed - and gave it a good hour. Focused on getting back into the drops as quickly as possible after hopping up on the hood(s)... yeah, I think my vernacular is a little off there. I find that if I'm not paying attention to a zone or a speed, I'm incredibly inconsistent.
