FitOldDog’s Training Diary (Day 91 of 221) - Lovely Cold Wet Day, Spring Is Due On Thursday, They Say!

Spring crocuses.

Spring is here! Well, almost.

Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman

Workout:

Swim: 5,000 yards steady, with some push. Focus: hand angle to reduce strain on rotator cuffs and improve catch - idea came from Rory, one of my biking partners who flies crazy drones around his house. Follow Rory’s lead, and refuse to grow up, that’s what I think is one of the keys to happiness.
