Swimming Laps

Today I swam a few laps at DHY. It wasn't a long swim (500), and it wasn't a fast swim, but it was a swim. Something to get me moving, but something to help my legs continue to recover. I was hoping to get an outside ride in today, but sunset was at 4:44 and I just didn't know whether I'd have time. Thankfully my drive home from work was short, and I headed out for a quick 12.25 miles, 45:25 (16.2 average, which isn't too bad considering the trip up Lynwood). Not sure of my max speed, but I am sure that it's quite scary descending Lynwood when it's nearly dark out and I was pretty much riding the brakes the entire way down.
