03-18-2024 Swim/Ride

Got up and rode over to the WWC for a swim when it opened up.  The usual busy Monday.  I swam 2500 yds, normal protocol for this distance, in about 50 minutes.  Thought I had swum faster, especially the first 2000 yds, which I finished in 39:37.  But it might be that on earlier, supposedly faster swims I miscounted the number of pool lengths.  This time I was pretty sure I got the count right.  I rode home, had some breakfast, then got ready for a short morning ride.  Rode down by the park, then up Pomerado Rd to Twin Peaks Rd, turning right there and heading on Camino del Norte over to RB Rd, where I turned and rode home the normal way (via W Bernardo Dr) from there.  At times, it felt pretty good on this ride, taking slight grades at a brisk pace.  But I could feel a little tiredness in my legs, either from the Saturday ride or from the earlier swim.

Avg speed = 17.1 mph. Total mileage = 15.2 mi
Avg power = 156 W. Weighted avg power = 183 W
Total elevation gain = 990'
Avg heartrate = 130 bpm (Coospo)

After I got home, I showered and rode over to Mama Cella's for lunch with Howard and Yi-Hua.  It was nice, not sure how regularly we could meet, maybe every 3 months or so.  They are heading to Taiwan, with Laura, to see her family in about 2 weeks.  Afternoon was quiet.  I went for a short walk to get my steps in, avoided getting rained on.  There were supposed to be thunderstorms coming through, but we never saw any evidence of them at our house.
