CompuTrainer Class: Maximizing Aerobic Capacity II

Encouragement for today:

I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel;
My heart also instructs me in the night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before me;
Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will rest in hope.
 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:7–11

Today's workout looked very similar to (though not exactly like because I can't remember everything nor replicate it) this:


Today felt pretty similar to Tuesday, if not slightly easier.

First, though, was a swim. I have enough time at lunch to get in a main set but none of the drills or warmup/cooldown, so I do what I can. Today was 3×125@20sec rest, 2×175@30sec rest, and 3×125@20sec rest; I did 100 kick/backstroke at the end to get to 1,200 yards (short course indoor pool at the DHY). During the ride today, I could definitely feel in my arms that I'd been swimming earlier. I can't remember than having happened during other rides.
