It's Sunday; rest day. Yesterday was satisfying; stretches and strength training during a lull at work, bike home, change, bike to the beach, swim, bike home, laundry, sleep, and bike back to work. The swim was 1460 strokes. The wind was unusually strong, and it took a bit of extra work not to drift out from shore. I was careful not to close my wetsuit neck too tight and I tried taping a piece of gauze to the back of my neck, and there was no chafing to speak of. I did my laundry by hand; it was easier than I expected, and rather faster than doing it by machine.
I was thinking of going foraging for crabapples tomorrow, but I noticed that the hitch for my bike trailer was missing. When I asked my bike mechanic about it, he told me he had thrown it out because he didn't know what it was. Which make me seriously question whether I should ever go back to him. I may still try foraging tomorrow; a backpack full of crabapples could still make a respectable amount of jelly. I got some weck jars a few days ago, and I'd like to make some jelly to give out for gifts.
My garmin vivoactive 3, which I've had for less than a month, started glitching yesterday. This is the second one that's been giving me trouble. This is one of the big reasons I've started trying to track data with a spreadsheet; I'm trying to reduce the dependence on specific pieces of tech. Right now, my watch tracks things like my steps, flights of stairs climbed, etc. It would probably be cumbersome and distracting to count my steps manually all day long. Hmmm.
Oh, the title. There are only two full weeks left in my current triathlon program. It ends when the month ends. Then I need to either figure out some kind of maintenance, or a path to continued improvement.
