@Gretchen...nice work on the long workout...there will be more of them (and longer ones)!!

@Nathalie and Nicole:  I now have the sound of whining cats in my head - thanks! 

@Andrew:  even though it's quick and takes the extra 15 minutes, it's worth it for swim frequency; so much of swim speed is form and if you do it more often so much the better (and you won't be tired either); I sometimes do a 10-minute cool down swim at the gym after a workout and just work on form and not being lazy with the lower half of my body

This morning was an hour free ride around Zwift pushing it pretty hard, then a strength and core session with the wife.  At 5:45 AM ugh.  I gotta back into my routine after living in resorts for the past six weeks.  Serious first world problem.  I've adjusted my schedule for the time being to about a hundred miles a week on the bike and 5-6K yards in the pool plus some light running and we'll see how it goes.

Originally posted by nicole14e Got in a 30 min PZ ride this morning, followed by 10 minutes of core. I'm feeling a bit tired b/c I've been waking up a half hour earlier (5am), but think I am adjusting pretty quickly. I'm still laying in bed for longer than I should, but now I have an extra half hour so haven't been skipping workouts.

If I don't get out of bed within a couple minutes of my alarm or waking up, I feel like crap, unless I have enough time to force myself back to sleep which takes a while sometimes. 

I hate getting older. 

Yeah, it's OK to swim in your tri gear once in a while if you want to get used to it in water and don't have OWS options, but it'll destroy the lycra in short order especially if you don't rinse yourself before and after.

I would've posted something about this in my other post, but in the spirit of padding our numbers I'll add another one and say, "YAY US!!!"

That's a fair assessment I'm afraid...when the Manatees post count is down you know we're circling.  I know there are still a ton of people that use the logs here and post like once every six months, but the vibe from 10-15 years ago is definitely long gone.  I belong to several FB groups for a number of topics and the formatting sucks.  I've never understood the sub-thread thing like FB and Reddit...can't stand it.

Oh well enough doom and gloom today - got in a Bikram session this morning and a lunch bike working on power in aero.  Both went reasonably well.  6 AM gym session tomorrow.
