I got in a nice easy ride right after work, which helped keep the legs loose. My position is pretty comfortable, so it's easy to cruise along in the aero tuck for a while. The pedal stroke was consistently smooth, and I'm engaging the whole leg as I'm riding. I feel like I should be pretty strong on the day.
Then in the evening, back to the pool for a quick workout. This was the first of two 2k pull time trials I'll do in preparation of the race. I felt like I got in a decent groove right from the start. I had a minor issue with some new goggles and a bit of leaking, but I tried not to let it throw me off too much. With the other denizens of the pool, it got a little annoying trying to get the workout in, but there's nothing I can do about them. My time was 36:20, which means I've either lost some speed since the last time I did this in a 50m pool, or I was, in fact, short the last time (35:10). My times from the 25m pool don't really translate, since you can push off twice as much and just hammer along. Assuming I only did 1900m last time out, that would be 37:01 for 2k, which means I've picked up 40 seconds. Or I lost 70. Who knows? We'll find out in about four weeks.
Bike: 30 minutes, zone 1-2
Swim: w/u - 200m each free, non-free
1x2000m pull (36:20)
