It's a "Home Day"!

"Home Day" is what my Cassa-a-frass calls Saturdays and Sundays.


I'm feeling a little better each day.  Zpaks are my friend.

I did get in a run/swim last night, which was okay.  I definitely felt the effects of rest on my swim.  I actually felt pretty good in the water.  Just wish I had been feeling a little better than alright.  1700 yds in, so that's good.

I'm still behind another swim/run session, but since I'm not 100% yet, one of my coaches said to keep today as a rest day.  I have a run/bike/run challenge tomorrow morning that I need to be recovered for.

So today will be some domestic goddessing needs will be addressed and I may make some of the things from my Thursday Thirteen list I've been meaning to make.  My car is also in desperate need of a cleaning... inside and out.  If I do that, it is guaranteed to rain tomorrow. Hmmm.

There is a 1 mile open water swim race in April I am considering... Not sure why it makes me nervous to consider it; look what I swam last night!

What's happening THIS week.

This week started out with a *bang* yesterday doing the 70.3 in Galveston.  Now, if I'm keeping it real, I only trained about a month for the swim so I wasn't completely deserving of a great swim time.  I'm good with that.  You get out what you put in.

It was a really tough race for everyone, including the pros, who were rolling behind their normal performance (so they say).  The swim was the easiest of all the years I've done this race, and my my worst time.  In the end the swim took me 48 minutes.  I think my best time in Galveston was 43.

The swim was wetsuit optional and I chose to move to the wetsuit wave.  With 50+ relays, we weren't in contention for anything, so we kept it light and fun.  I was a bit uncomfortable until the first turn, but then found my pace.  I swam, what seemed, pretty darned straight.  So straight that I wished I wore my Garmin.  And I didn't wear my Garmin, well, because I didn't want to suck the fun out of it. and see bad data…

While it has normal signs of wear and tear for a bike that has been previously loved for 6 years, it has been cared for and tuned up as needed. It has 3 small nics on the main tube (pictured below), they are the size of nail heads, but the bento box covers it. which I'll include, if you want.
