Forgot my watch this morning so I don't have any times and I can't remember the results of swim golf. Very frustrated with technique and timing when I breath to the left.
I thought this workout was going to be a joke with all that rest, but my shoulders were burning by the end. I also tried the pull bouy for the first time and realized how much that works your shoulders and lats when you don't kick.
Coon Box loop with 2 mile add-on in Northbrook. Weather forecast was dicey so I got out early. Quads were hurting pretty good for the last few miles - probably from the extra miles on the bike the last two days.
Slowest split: 9:24 (mile 1)
Fastest split: 8:40 (mile 8)
Roe, Bridgeville, Ingleside, Church Hill. Little longer than I had planned, but a fun ride...didn't push too hard. Took my first spill at an intersection - jumped the chain which wedged between the frame and the chainring and scraped up the paint pretty good. Smooth moove.
Tough swim this morning. Didn't feel like technique was very good. Need to focus on relaxing my neck and rotating a little less when I breath to the left.
