A false start

Up at 4:50 AM today, core work then off to the city pool for a well-needed swim. Unfortunately, the pool was closed due to some pump replacement issue so all was for naught which meant an evening swim after work. Given the choice, I would prefer not to swim at night. I think about it all day and although it does bring on dead woman's sleep if I have my post swim sneeze in the middle of the night I usually spend an hour with the kleenex box.

2,550 meters on the night and I have to say that I was aerobically challenged. Unusually, I have not fully recovered from Sunday's race. My second three hundred was nearly anaerobic and trust that I was not moving that fast. I did finish my set for the night and tried not to think about the fact that I would be on my bike a mere 9 hours after this swim.

Tomorrow, a brick and hopefully a bit of gain on returned energy.
