Woke up in the night and had a bowl of cereal and a banana. I think I was affected by the caffeine in the iced tea at the lunch restaurant. When I got up, I did the dishes and then got ready to go to the WWC. Wore my tri suit for the first time, it fits a little snugly but that's a good thing. I met Avi there, and we were able to get two adjacent lanes to swim in. We started off with a warmup 250, then did 5 100s at tempo, starting the next one on the 2 minute mark. I slowed down in the latter ones but was able to push hard in the last 100 to match my first time. After a brief rest, we did the pyramid drill. I was okay, keeping pace with Avi out to about the first 200, then I started lagging behind him. This drill showed the effects of not having swum distances recently, so I need to plan at least one day a week of 2000 yds or more. We finished up with a 100 focusing on long strokes. 2100 yards in total. Then I rode home, where the pest inspector told us we have bats in the attic (he installed some flashing to prevent them getting in) and strongly recommended that we get the house tented. So, that's also happening. Ugh. I spent the late morning and early afternoon just hanging around the house, not doing a whole lot (some coding and analysis of recent rides). <> In the later afternoon, I went out for a short ride, heading down by the park and then over the freeway to BVP, riding up to Sunset Dr and turning left there. I took this road over to Escondido Blvd, then rode up to Felicita Ave, turning left there. I took it all the way over to Via Rancho Pkwy, then turned left to get back to the freeway entrance ramp. Over the freeway and onto W Bernardo Dr, where I stayed on it until turning right on Nevoso Way. Up this short road to Cabela Dr, then right to get to Aguamiel Rd, and home from there. Legs were feeling the effects of the previous day's exercise, so it will be interesting to see how I do on the Saturday Bisikleta ride.

In the evening, we went to dinner at Himalaya Grill in Mira Mesa with Charlie and Leslie Witherspoon. Food was good, service was slow, and the conversation was nice.
