Either I was nicely rested from missing Monday's swim, or I was a bit worked over from last night's weights session and snow shovelling. Either way, it was going to be a good day in the pool. I was able to ride this morning, although it was pretty slick, to the point that I walked down the hill to the pool. It's not worth killing myself to save those few seconds.
In the water, I felt good. I didn't drown using the snorkel during the kick set, my sculling was marginally better (thanks for the tips Mark!), and my pace during the extended easy sets was closer to EZ-plus. The day really hit a high note when we finished with a 200yd TT, and I went under 3 minutes (2:57). That was about as good as I could expect to do. It's not the blazing pace most folks can pull off, but next week we have a 400m TT, and I'd love to get 7:00-7:15. This was a nice confidence-booster that I might be on my way.
