Ride in the morning with John from our house (Dave was recovering from COVID, and Jim was busy moving Liz into the house). It wasn't as cold as the previous morning at the start, but it never really warmed up during the ride. I was a little late to get ready, and John was early, so I didn't pump up my tires. Didn't seem to make a lot of difference this ride. We headed down the hill and down by the park over to Pomerado Rd. Those downhills were cold, but I knew we would be slowing as we climbed back up Pomerado Rd to RB Rd. From there, we followed the time trial route. I generally dialed my pace back and rode with John except for a couple of times. The day was clear when we began but clouded over by the time we finished. Felt fine at the end, I could feel my right quad was not quite right, but it didn't act up, seems like it is healing. I didn't start my Fitbit, but it tracked the ride as an exercise.

I have started reading Jon Krakauer's book about Pat Tillman's death, Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman. He is a fine writer, very thorough, and he does a good job of getting to the bottom of the fratricide that killed Tillman, as well as providing much more insight into who Tillman was and what motivated him during his life. It's changing my opinion of him, the circumstances of his death, and the way that people in power attempt to manipulate the news cycles to their advantage. My TMJ discomfort also appears to be gradually getting better, but some residual might stay with me indefinitely. In the late morning, I went over to the WWC and swam for 2000 yds in about 40 min. Not too many people swimming, although it was a decent temperature outside. Then, in the afternoon, I took a shorter walk around the neighborhood.
