The training continues. There was a slight change to my schedule this week. I normally swim Tuesday nights, but I was late getting to the pool, and when I arrived there was only one lane open, and that lane was very busy. Instead I swam Wednesday after work.

I got in a quick 600m swim. It was odd swimming that time of day. It was actually darker in the water than when I swim at night. The sun was streaming in the windows and the overhead lights weren’t on. My swim was pretty good, but I was fighting a stitch the entire time. If I had pushed any harder I would have felt pretty bad. Also on one turnaround I messed up on my breathing and ended up swallowing a huge mouthful of water. That didn’t sit well with me and made my tummy upset for quite a while.

Tonight was a ride night for me. As soon as I got home from work I set up the bike on the trainer and had a good, hard spin there. A couple minutes warmup, nearly 50 minute ride, then another couple minutes of cool down. Wobbly legs afterward too.
