I have been maintaining my swim sessions @ 20 laps, I usually do 4 laps freestyle as a warm up, 8 laps deep water kicking with flippers, 4 laps hand paddles – no legs and 4 laps IM. The butterfly lap is my fitness test!
Last week I swam on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, so far this week swam on Monday and Tuesday. I planned a training ride with other members of the Swinburne BUGS and friends & VU Library Cyclists on Sunday 17 August but everyone was busy. I did not want to go alone, so I have gone back to riding before work. Dawn is around 0650 so on my late shift day I can wait until it is light.
This morning I followed the Upfield train line on the bike path for 20 minutes, then turned around and came home. It felt comfortable being back on the bike. My next ride is scheduled for Friday morning. Same length of time, hopefully a bit further this time. Around the Bay in a Day is 8 weeks away. I should be ready for the 50km leg by then!
