Float

I pulled out the wetsuit for the first time since November this morning. Since it's less than two weeks until the first race, it might be useful to get a feel for wetsuit swimming again. The plan was to get through the warm-up with the suit, then decide about the workout, but it was off right after the warm-up, since I was overheating quickly. It doesn't take much with that thing on. I didn't get the fit quite right, so my shoulders were too restricted, but I'll try again on Friday to get it right. I just need to pull things around some more to get some slack right around the shoulder.

The swim itself went well, a good mix of shorter and longer sets, none overly intense. It was a good swim after a bit of a break. The I picked up a couple of runs later in the day, to get all my work done.
