11-21-2025 Swim

Day started out wet. I got up around 6:00 and noodled around the house for a while before getting ready for a swim at the WWC. I knew it had been raining but was unpleasantly surprised to have to ride over to the club in the rain. That wasn't as bad as having to wait in steady rain for the gates to open. Next time, I need to bring a jacket with a hood. Parked my gear under an awning to keep it from getting wet. I was originally going to swim for longer, but the weather convinced me to do a short workout and get home and dry. I swam 1000 yds, and my times for the two 500s were decent: 9:17, 9:26, total elapsed swimming time of 18:43. My stroke was fairly strong but not so long this time. Swimming in the rain was fine, the water felt really warm after standing in cold rain for a while.

Got home and ate a little food, drank some coffee to help me warm up. Had a light morning, went to renew my library card and then have lunch with Hongwei. Her kids are doing well, she's in a pretty chaotic position at work, a lot of divided responsibilities for the R&D programs she's involved in. Ate Indian food, it was pretty good. My afternoon was quiet, had a little nap and then worked on my ride analysis program to include stats from a specified segment of the ride. Ann went with Emily and Caleb in the evening to see Rent at a small theater in Carlsbad, I stayed home. Watched some NBA and read, had a quiet evening.
