Tapering for Salida Tenderfoot Tri

Monday, 8/27-rest day. read a few chapters of Marley when I got out the City Council meeting early.

Tuesday, 8/28-Evening Swim at Stroh outdoor pool. 50 minutes. I am very sad because the pool will be closing on Labor Day. :( I swam from 7:30 to 8:20PM and it was cool to be in the water in the dark, with just the pool lights. I was even able to still ride my bike to the pool with my headlamp on the way back. The lifeguards were playing cards so I told them not to worry at the end when I "disappeared" to do my underwater 25's. Shoulders hurt a bit, maybe it was the little free weights I used over the weekend. Stroke felt good though. Even my turns felt good, which is important since Salida is a pool swim. My legs were really strong from all my running and biking!

Wed. 8/29-AM run on treadmill to stay loose. 1/4 mile walk warm up, 2 miles at 6.8 -7 mph.
