Ummm, so after rushing to the gym for early spin class, I discovered that it's daylight savings time. What to do for an hour?? Swim.
Decided to swim straight until I ran out of time and had to get changed for spinning. Switched-up stroke every 50 for mental & physical variety.

Easyish spin class cuz I'm just getting back into indoor biking. Instructor also played bad music and forgot her microphone so she yelled at us in a shrill voice. Almost walked out early but decided to push through adversity (such that it was).

OS lap. By the time I got errands, chores, nap done, it was dark-dark running through the preserve. Bit nippy too.

Night training at Deer Grove.
Worked late on Friday so it would be dark for this and I could test the new Magicshine light. Just awesome; dim mode perfect for trail run and bright mode lit up the woods enough for seeing the surrounding terrain and to make good micro-route choices. The light is quite small and the battery is heavy (~5 D batteries) but not burdensome.
The woods were open like last Sunday and this was good practice with the subtle contours. Plan to do more of this.

Map run around the path to the far side of Deer Grove prior to orienteering back.

Another easy swim:
300s, 200p, 3 * ( 2 * 200s, 200pwp ), 200s
Ok.

Ran to running store for group run, then back.
Ran ladders on the track:
200m, 400m, 800m, 1200m, 800m, 400m, 200m.
Felt so so.

Easy...
300s, 200p, 100k, 400s, 300pwp, 100k, 500s, 400pwp, 100k
Felt fine, easing back into swimming.
