It has been a very full and stressful week. Last night, Ruth agreed to sleep in if I needed to in the morning. When the alarm went off, I (of course) wanted to go back to sleep but Ruth was awake and got up to go to swim practice. So I joined her and was glad I did.

I swam with Duncan today and it was a good decision as it evened out the lanes and pushed me to work harder. Part of the workout was to do a 10 minute swim and count laps (10:00 @ 625) and then a 5 minute swim and do more than half the laps of the 10 (5:05 @ 325).

So I almost made it...I really need to work on my flip turns as I lose a lot of speed on the wall.

Today's bike hill workout was tougher mentally than physically. I was hungry and not in the mood at all to do it. But I completed 5 hill repeats on the Hindenburg from Lake Washington BLVD to Pine. Did 1, 3 and 5 seated and 2 and 4 as 8 revolutions standing, 8 seated.
