The pool was definitely warmer today, but not quite back to normal. It was definitely chilly getting in though. It passed Dale's thermometer test at 80 deg so he decided to swim this morning. Lane 4 always seems to be empty nowadays.
Trainer.

Glenn - you weren't kidding about the water at the pool. This morning was good practice for the cold water at the Osprey this weekend. I did a longer warm up than usual to try to fight off the hypothermia. Even during the sprints the water still felt cold. I was a lot slower on this workout than last time I did it - I'm blaming it on the cold water. Dale comes in and drops his own personal thermometer in the pool, walked out and didn't come back. The heat's supposed to be turned on this afternoon so hopefully we'll be good to go for the rest of the week.

Windy! Whoah. I had planned on doing this workout early this morning at 0500, but it was raining pretty steady so I went back to bed. It was nice not having to ride the trainer or run in the rain, but the wind was tough. Tried to keep the effort up and keep steady upper Z2/lower Z3 with some higher intervals into the wind and on hills.
Took about a half mile for my legs to adjust after pushing the bike hard at the end of the first ride but felt good after that. Both runs were mid to high Z3 and ended in Z4 on the second run.
