called the special barton springs hot line to check for openess after the storm...all was a go so i headed over...there were about 4 cars in the lot...hmm no streetlights...hmm not looking good...gate was locked...so i went over to big stacy pool to get in some laps...three other lap swimmers out there in the morning drizzle...i like swimming in the rain...there is something that feels a little defiant about that...i don't know what it is but i've liked that since i was a kid...
i decided that i was just going to swim for 45 minutes...not count lengths...just swim...and i did...worked on some breathing stuff and some stroke finishing...popped up at the shallow end to see my friend...who i was meeting for breakfast at 8am...at the end of the pool...ha!...the day we both decide to swim at stacy...she's a Y member...i swam until she was almost done...then i practiced some flip turns...i'm getting better...defiantly not pretty but better...
had a yummy and leisurely breakfast at bouldin creek...then home to deep clean the house...all day...it needed it...and i did too :)
bike workout at the veloway/autobahn...did some left hand turns to start...to simulate the race course...one of the girls was talking and talking about how technical the turns are and how crowded the bike is and blah blah...argh! she freaked me out...if it was a race morning and i was standing next to her i would have moved...so now i'm all nervous about the tight turns on the course...i'm still not the best at that yet...
workout was 1m strong 1m easy for one whole loop...first loop warm up...second loop workout little loop cool down...got off in a small pack...two others from the group keeping up with me for the warm up...i was thinking of last week (or was it two weeks ago) when coach amy was talking about how fast some of us warm up...but i was really in warm up mode...these other guys...well...i'm not so sure about that...i think they got bitten by the competitive bug over the last week or so...ended the warm up with them...started the workout...and they were no where to be found...sigh...i love the rocket ship...<3...i really cranked the workout...pushing my legs and the bike...felt really good...had a max of 31.8mph with a head wind...:) that was fun...it was 7.30 (bikes in time) so i just took the loop to the end of the road by the veloway really slow and called that a cool down...my brain feels better after a good workout...
home for turkey tacos and the office season finally...i love that show...it makes me laugh...i like laughing...it's fun.
