Friday - Apr 19, 2013 - Swim & Run

Friday - April 19, 2013

JCC morning swim.  One of my last JCC swims, as we cancelled our membership and will be joining the Blue Ash YMCA next month.  I had the pool to myself and swam the following in 45 minutes:

10 warm up laps
20 laps with hand paddles and pull buoy, no leg use (arm focus)
20 laps with kickboard and flippers, no arm use (leg focus)
10 "cool down" laps
8 extra laps because I finished early

Great workout.  Another swimmer came about halfway through my set, but it was a nice and casual swim.  A great way to start the weekend.

I wanted to bike a hilly 5 mile loop as many times in 90 minutes as I could, but it was raining.  My road bike has been in the shop for 8 days now, and I could use my mountain bike for this.  The shop had to order something, so it will be done Tuesday at the earliest.  :(

On a positive note, I got a seat that could (hopefully) be the answer to my prayers for comfort on long rides (30+ miles).  I ordered the ISM Adamo Century saddle.  Below is a photo of the seat.

UPDATE:
I went for a lunch run today.  3.18 miles in 27:10 for an average pace of 8:32m/m.  This is a new PR for the route, which is great for having swam this morning.  It was chilly, windy, and it started to lightly rain toward the end of my run.

Here's the Strava data:
