331 Days until Ironman Arizona.

The pool where I train is still closed, so no swim workout today. Started the “Anatomical Adaptation” phase of weight training tonight, though[1]. I started with virtually no weight per the book’s instructions, but I have a feeling my triceps and my quads are going to be complaining for a few days.

Unrelated: forgot my swim shoes/flip-flops when I went to the gym, leaving me barefoot for my after-workout shower. Nasty. Spraying a gallon of desenex on my feet tonight.
