05-22-2026 Swim

Slept pretty well, I did wake up in the early morning and read for about 45 minutes, but I got back to sleep. Woke up and read some more before getting ready for a swim at the WWC. I met Avi there, and we were able to get adjacent lanes. Did four 250s with rest periods in between. My stroke felt sluggish, and I wasn't generating the power in my arms that I have been doing in recent workouts. So it was more of a cardio exercise than an arm strength-building workout. Here are the splits for the four 250s: 4:27, 4:30, 4:31, 4:31. In each of them I sprinted in the last 25, for whatever that was worth.

Avg pace = 1:48/100 yds (Video)

Total distance = 1000 yds

Elapsed moving time = 17:59 (Video)

Avg heartrate = 117 bpm (too low)

Relative Effort = 5 (too low)

SWOLF =36

Avg stroke rate = 21 bpm

Avg pull distance = 2.40 yds

Had some more breakfast (after banana) when I got home, did some blogging, cleaned the kitchen, made coffee, and went out in the back yard to look at the drip head that was acting up. I just pushed the brown spaghetti line further onto the ports, and they appeared to hold. Also replace one drip head that had clogged and been shot off the spaghetti line. Looks to be back in business. Took a short nap on late morning, then in the afternoon I had a light lunch and watched some TV. Rode to Poway to get some gas, buy a pick set at Harbor Freight, and shop at Aldi. I didn't have a lot of time after I got home before heading over to Angelika Theater for a screening of the new Star Wars movie, sponsored by Jeff Ross. It was okay, first movie I've seen in a theater in a very long time, maybe ever. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it. Headed home (was a little cold on the scooter) and had a late dinner, watched a little NBA before going upstairs.
