Swimming 1:15:00 [3] 3.0 km (25:00 / km)
Did 3km swim, starting with 1km (23:17), then 500m paddles (11:45), 500m no paddles (12:03) and finished with 2 x 10 x 50 (12:38 and 13:20) alternating 50m breaststroke and 50m freestyle; the single length freestyle was almost sprint speed for me (and might be a good idea to think of it as such in future) although goggles began giving problems and buttock saga continues. Double layer hat worked to keep goggles more stable, but not so good for turns (got air in the inner plastic hat which threw balance during tumble!). Leg/hamstring/buttock problems continue; probably better than last time I swam but I can feel it cranky, still can't reliable extend behind, still can't kick with full force and a bit miserable I can't run as I'd like. Have had a few good days but not coming completely sound as soon as I'd like. Ever so often I worry the sacroiliitis is root cause... and there ain't no cure for grade 3 arthritic erosions into the SI joint destabalizing the whole pelvis.. but worry never helped anything. Maybe I can strengthen the muscles to compensate or at least have fun trying until I can't move any more!
