Somebody get me a can of WD-40 because I am RUST-EE! As promised, I set my alarm for 6am this morning and was at the pool swimming by 7:15am. The first few laps were not so bad and then....exhaustion. I was ready to get out after the warm up (900 yards)! I also felt completely uncoordinated, like I haven't swam in years. BUT, I got it done. A whole 1700 yards. A month ago it wasn't even worth going to the pool for less than 3000 METERS! I always find it mind boggling how fitness can take months to build, but a mere weeks to lose. Time to get back to work.
After the swim we went for a family doggie walk which helped loosen up my legs for a good stretching session. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. In the meantime I think I need a nap like my IronDog:
The plan for this upcoming off-season "transition" week is an easy trainer ride on Tuesday and another swim on Friday. I might try a short run next weekend. Or not.
Have a good week!
