Swimming: Laps 1:10:14 2.74 km (25:38 / km)
20 x 50 Freestyle
6:39 AM; Midway YMCA
No XC practice this weekend, wanted challenge myself in the pool. Was shooting for at least 1 hr of swimming and hoped to do 21 laps of FS wit a recovery lap BS in between. Got a little mixed up with the sequence of my laps around lap 15. Ended up doing 21 sets, mostly alternating 1 breathing left, 1 breathing right and 1 breathing both sides, repeating this 7 times. I wanted to find out what feels most comfortable and what's most efficient. Breathing left definitely feels most comfortable, the jury is out on what's most efficient.

Looking at the satellite map, it looks like it will start raining by the time I leave the Y. Just glad I don't have to ride to the Y in the rain.

17.0 °C; Light rain
To Dunn Bros for beans and Breadsmith for bread. Picked up some day-old honey nut bars at Dunn's, they age well. That's one thing that bothers me about Breadsmith, they do not have day-olds. I had some bread laid away one time, even paid for (Austrian pumpernickel, only available on Saturdays) and couldn't make it on the same day. When I came on Sunday to pick up, they had tossed it. What a waste. Saw Mary V at Breadsmith and chatted some. She is doing crossfit to get back in shape after her second baby. By the time I came out, it had started raining. I was soaked when I got home. Just glad I made it to Dunn's before it started.

6:32 AM; Hamline Midway/Como Park
19.9 °C; Chance of rain
Woke and got up at 4:00 this morning and didn't realize that until my 5:00 alarm went off. Got some stuff done during that extra hour! It rained steadily until about 5:30, then began petering off. By the time I got going around 6:30, it was just a dribble and a very comfortable ride. There were 8 men and 6 women running this morning, 2 women this afternoon.

24.7 °C; Cloudy
Space Horse had packhorse duty today, picked up a chair (OK, a folding chair) at Target and strapped it to the rack with velcro. Took the shorter route through downtown and avoided stunts like jumping the curbs at the Snelling ramps. Also minded sunken manhole covers and potholes. Consequently made it home without having to readjust my load, but just barely.

When I took the dogs out at 5:00 this morning, the full sturgeon moon greeted us as we walked around the house. A swift ride to work, zero wind and hitting the DT lights just right helped. Runners: 12 F : 7 M.

26.0 °C; Cloudy
Got late start back home today. In spite of afternoon showers, a few rain drops along the way and threatening skies I made it home dry except for sweat. Getting close to Snelling I noticed my time and thought, boy, you're really smokin' but I had forgotten that I gave my Garmin a late start. This afternoon, it took me more time to finish a stretch shorter by 1 km than what I had done this morning. Only guys running this afternoon, 3 of them.

Endurance United roller ski practice was canceled due to inclement weather yesterday night, indeed we got 6-8 cm of rain. Open skies this morning and I made up for not having yesterday's intervals by pushing a little harder this morning. 14 F to 16 M runners to morning.

Feeling hot again, I don't mind it. Had to stop to take a picture of a funny cloud, of course I waited too long, need to do this as soon as something strikes my fancy. Runners were 4:zip for the men before I reached Stone Arch Bridge, one woman runner on Dinkytown Greenway, that was it.

Pleasantly cool morning, very little wind. Well rested after the weekend, just a nice ride. Looked like a vehecal lost a few commercial size cans of tomato paste or sauce on Snelling, big splashes and flattened containers. 7 f to 6 m runners this morning. Days are getting notable shorter, will have to start using my main bike light again, soon.

Cooler than I expected, wonderful weather for the ride home, a little bit of a headwind. Saw roller skier on LRC who executed a very nice right-angle turn onto the ramp going down to river road. Obviously knew what he was doing. Getting busy around the fairgrounds.
