After several false springs, it appears spring is here in Minnesota (after we had a foot and a half of snow dumped on us not but 8 days ago), so I'm diving back into biking with gusto. Should be fun (and by fun I mean flirting with disaster) to see how dumping 100-150 miles of biking on top of my already pretty busy workout schedule goes. Weeeee!!!!
Lakes are still mostly frozen over, but in theory only 2 months until open swim season!
Biked to the pool for master swim this morning, made it in a little later than normal and had to leave a bit early for work, so only 2000m

Wow. So many good swims. Yes, gently, I think in this group, "woo" means "WooHoo!!!!"
I've never seen a snarky comment among the peeps here. Probably why I always come here first! I think you and I would make good lane buddies, especially if veggie curry take out is the reward...
Mediocre swims here lately. Bummer. I had been feeling really strong and particularly floaty lately, but I think my body is tired. I'm always working on muscle memory, and I think when I'm fatigued, it's the first thing to go. I have been pushing myself to stay at a decent distance. It seems that lately just showing up is worth some credit

Missed logging the last 2 Adult swim Club sessions. Unfortunately that's it for the year so back to dog paddling all by myself. I find it so much easier to get out with an organized group and a planned session. Will have to do a better job in the next 5 months until the Fall session's start.
@emmab0902 You are to hard on yourself. ( I have the same problem with my running )
You always have these amazing/inspiring swim sessions with so many great drills that we can all learn from.1 -

My swims are entirely front crawl or drills related to it (kicking usually). Yesterday was the first time in ages that I felt like my legs were getting used to kicking the same during a regular swim as they were during a drill. I couldn't maintain it for the entire swim set, but on and off I felt like my body was remembering bits and pieces of what it was supposed to be doing. My right leg seems to stop kicking when I breathe on that side. It was a quiet pool, thankfully. I think everybody is out running, hiking, walking, gardening, whatever they can do do be outside in the sun. I love an empty pool!2
