I wanted to get out on my road bike for this ride and was a little stubborn about it.  The weather was threatening snow and I went anyway.  Had a great ride on a hilly circuit but then it started snowing pretty heavy so I had to ride home.  Legs are slightly tired the next day.  I  finally found time to fit in the swim workout I missed too.  This was a great one.  I say that because all the different ways of dolphin kicking brought back memories of get tossed around in the ocean.  So it is working that 'fear' and sinus cleansing issue I want to improve at.  Just not getting water up my nose was a challenge.  I got better as I went.  The face up version was the most challenging.  It is still so amazing to me how hard this stuff is.  I hope I'm improving, I feel like a child.  Thanks!
