SCM pools are fast. By being able to push off every 25m, the pace is quicker by a few seconds than in a LCM pool. So my times this morning were definitely aided by this phenomenon. It's hard for me to believe that I could knock out these times otherwise.
We opened with a 5x200 descending, and my starting effort came in at 3:46. I'm used to being around 2:00/100 on this type of effort, so I was feeling pretty spry. I was able to keep descending, with a best of 3:20 (which left me hanging on the deck).
After some easy work, we were back at 5x200 at HIM effort. My pace was still holding at 1:50-1:55/100, so I was feeling pretty good. As my other work slows down for the next couple of weeks, I hope that I'll really start to move.

Since I still can't run, tonight's brick is changed. I was supposed to do 30 minutes on the bike, and a 2 mile run, but I'll change it to 45 minutes of riding. Things seem to be healing, so I figure I should be able to get my runs in starting this weekend. Fingers crossed.
Bike: 45 minutes, zone 1-2
