Chlorine-y

Day 8 of training:
Group rides: 2
Resistance training: 3
Spin classes: 1
Pool Swims: 2
Maintenance Runs: 1
Ocean Swims: 1

I'm not a fan of the pool. Oh, it's nice sometimes. It's more relaxing than battling the waves, I suppose, but while I come out of the ocean feeling beachy and refreshed, I come out of the pool feeling crispy and covered in chemicals. It takes three showers to get the chlorine smell out of my skin and hair, unless I use lime juice (and I get tired of squeezing all those limes) and it dries me out somethin' awful. Like I said though, there was no way I was going into the ocean on a day that felt as cold as today.

I swam about a mile in the pool and then took a few well deserved minutes in the hot tub. As always after I swim, I got hungry quick-- hungrier than I get after running or biking. I've no idea why. This swimming thing's still a bit of a mystery to me.

Tomorrow, I'm going to try to get up early and ride my bike into work. Yeah. I've said that before. We'll see what actually happens.
