Woke up after a fairly good night's sleep, was worried that too much caffeine during the previous day would have interfered with my rest, but it was okay (<!>). I got ready for a swim at the WWC and a run afterwards, headed over there under overcast skies. I was the only one there when Heidi opened the gates, and I had the pool to myself for the first 500. Cathy and Terry joined after that. I swam two 500s, with a break in between to catch my breath. Felt okay, stroke wasn't particularly strong, but I guess I was consistent enough. Splits for the two 500s were 9:09 and 9:10. I could feel it in my shoulders later. After the swim, I kept my trisuit on, put my running shoes on, put my backpack in a locker, and went for a 5k run using the normal loop from the WWC. Intent was to run at decent pace but not push it. By this time, the sun was out and it was a glorious day. Each successive mile was faster than the previous, which was as usual. I forgot to bring my heartrate monitor, so no heartrate data included.
Avg pace = 7:49
Total distance = 3.18 mi
Elapsed moving time = 24:52
Had some cereal and a banana for breakfast when I got home, then I went out in the front yard and pulled weeds near the southwest corner of the house for about 40 minutes. After that, I took a break in the house. Later, I went out beyond the backyard fence and chopped at the sumac stumps for a short while before stopping due to heat, which was oppressive. Came back in, had some lunch, then went into the garage to replace and adjust the rear brake pads on my Canyon. It went smoothly, but I had to adjust the pads relative to the rotor a couple of times. I watched some TV afterwards, then went back into the garage and adjusted the front derailleur on my Fuji bike so it would shift properly. Then I replaced two drip sprinklers in the front bed by the walkway, got them adjusted, and Ann came home. That was it for the daily chores. It was a quiet evening. Ann and I went for a walk around the block to get my steps in.
