Got up early and went for an hourlong walk around the neighborhood, no backpack, so it was nice. Then I had a little breakfast before heading over to the WWC for a swim with Avi. We worked out pretty strenuously, including 5 100s and 10 50s, both of which were tough for me. He also shared some additional exercises intended to lengthen my stroke, which is still shorter than I would like and gets even shorter when I get tired. I estimate that we swam about 1500 yds. The rest of the day was fairly quiet. I cleaned and charged the pedals on my old bike, thought about going into the bearings on them but decided not to. Then I changed out the disc brake pads on my new bike. I cleaned around the pistons and used a Q-tip to lubricate the front brake pistons with brake fluid before using the block to push them all the way back in. I loosened the bolts and centered the brake pads as well. This seemed to do the trick, as the brake pads weren't rubbing against the rotor. A similar process was used on the rear brake, but I had already lubricated the pistons. It went more smoothly than I thought it would. I also ordered a new set of 700x25 Gatorskin tires for when the current tires wear out. I spent the rest of the middle afternoon working on my ride tracking code, and I figured out how to display the latitude and longitude of the points on my route if you hover over them. I also watched
Deadpool again, it's amusing but a little too violent for my tastes. Later in the afternoon, before dinner, I went for a short ride, heading through the neighborhood to Poblado Rd, taking it over to Florindo Rd and then up to Matinal Rd to get to RB Rd. Then it was through the 4S Ranch neighborhood up to Ralphs Ranch Rd, where I turned and took the normal way from there over to Camino del Sur. Up and then down to Paseo del Sur, where I turned and started heading back. I took this all the way back to Camino del Sur, then I rode up to Camino San Bernardo to get over to RB Rd and took the old way back through the neighborhood to get home, as I was running a bit late. Tried to keep this a mostly Zone 2 ride, not pushing it so hard on the uphill sections as usual.
Avg speed = 15.7 mph. Total mileage = 13.2 mi
Avg power = 126 W. Weighted avg power = 154 W
Total elevation gain = 810'
Avg heartrate = 112 bpm (Coospo), 113 bpm (Fitbit)
In the evening, we finished watching the English language version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It was decent, again violent, but the story was a compelling one with several sub-plots. Then I drove over to Rob's place to pick up my chain tools. Rob, Isabelle, and I chatted for a short while about Laura and Joe, just a little bit about them going to Ireland for Rob's mother's funeral.
