Not quite back yet

Off to the trainer for the first "real" training session leading up to Worlds. Since I know I'm not fully recovered yet from Muskoka, I didn't want to hammer it at pre-race intensities, but I wanted to get in a really good session, so I settled on a 3x12 minute @ 280w workout. The workout was manageable, but felt a little tougher than I would have expected it to. The fatigue was still apparent in my legs. Aerobically I was fine, with my HR barely cracking 160 bpm on the last rep. I'll keep with staying as rested as possible, getting a little work here and there, and should be right in another week or so.

In other good news, swim club will be starting up again November 3. That means I can get two swim sin with them before heading off for Clearwater. Even better, it means that one of my scheduled public swims doesn't have to happen, saving me a certain level of frustration. So I can revise my count from yesterday, and only 11 (or perhaps 10) public swims to go.
