Went over to the WWC for a swim when it opened. I swam 3000 yds, first 2000 in about 42 min, and overall I finished in a little under 1:05. I didn't have the stamina on this day as the previous two days this week, and my time showed it. Arms held up for the whole time, and I actually felt pretty good on the last 20 lengths. But I wasn't ready to go any further. Went home and noodled around the house for a while. I asked Blair if he was planning on riding in the afternoon, and when he said no, I texted Avi and told him I would meet him at his office for the lunchtime ride. Left here around 11:00 and got there a little before 11:30. Took W Bernardo Dr to RB Rd, then Bernardo Center Dr to Bernardo Heights Pkwy. The climb there was not so bad. Turned on Paseo Lucido and followed the normal way from there to his office. He was on the ride along with Jose Doval and another co-worker, Gary. We headed over to Carmel Mountain Rd and turned left to get to Twin Peaks Rd, which we took over to Pomerado Rd. A left turn there and a ride up to the hospital. I kept a steady, not scorching, pace, but I still separated from the others, so I waited for them to catch up and slowed down. We rode over to RB Rd and turned right there, taking it up to Bridlewood Ln. On the initial gradual climb, I got out ahead of the others and waited for them again, then I rode with them up to the turn. Avi and I got out ahead, turning right on Summer Sage Rd and riding up to Lake Poway Rd, where we turned right and rode a little bit before turning around and riding back to Summer Sage Rd to catch up with Jose and Gary. Over to Espola Rd, turning right there and riding by the high school before the downhill back to Twin Peaks Rd. We turned right there and rode to Midland Rd, turning left. The wind was generally coming from the northeast, so it was a pretty fast stretch for me on this road, turning on Hilleary Pl to get over to Community Rd. I waited for the others to catch up after turning onto Community Rd, then we rode over to Poway Rd and turned right. I stayed with the other riders for this next stretch down to Sabre Springs Pkwy. Gary and I got out ahead of the others, then I rode ahead of Gary as we followed the time trial route back to their office. After I dropped them off, I headed home the same way I came over, except I stayed on Bernardo Center Dr when it turned into Duenda Rd and home from there. Legs felt fine, no significant effects from either the morning swim or the run a couple of days ago.
Avg speed = 15.2 mph. Total distance = 28.5 mi

Total elevation gain = 1730'
Avg heartrate = 121 bpm (Coospo)
In the afternoon, I played around with some video I captured during the ride, and I read a little bit about Chloropleth plots for my GPX analysis program. Then I rode over to a happy hour at CPK with some current and ex-HP folks, including Andre, John Godden, Avi, Britt & Bill Christenson, Rob Chohan, Oliver Woitke, Dave Pereira, and Stephen Glass. I spent most of the time talking with John, a little bit with Avi, Britt, and Andre. Was a nice little interlude, but I was kinda chilly on the scooter ride home, needed a warmer jacket. Then, in the evening I finished catching up with going through WhatsApp videos to determine which ones to keep.
