I had the opportunity to ride in the park with a friend today. It was really nice to just ride and not have to think about my heart rate or my speed. I enjoyed just riding and enjoying the companionship of a great cyclist. Learned a neat trick about riding downhill, which I will have to practice.
After my ride I zipped over to the Y to hop into the pool. I swam 200y of drills (finger drag, catch up, one-arm freestyle) and 20 minutes freestyle. I felt strong in the water today, very focused and I felt that my form was solid though most of the swim. My swim clip needed adjustment and I practiced knocking off my goggles and fixing them while swimming. Tricky. I also practiced sighting and I did a couple of laps with my eyes closed when my face was in the water - this was very interesting, slightly disorienting, but good. Adding the sighting into this was a good experience.
I have no idea how far I swam, unfortunately. As I continued to swim and add things into my workout (distractions, sighting, etc.) it became more and more difficult to recall the lap I was on.
