Oh thank goodness, I didn't forget how to swim.
It did take me the first half of the first lap (5 minutes or so) to get back into a rhythm and not feel like my arms were made of lead. Of course, that could be in part due to all the tricep pushups I did yesterday in hot yoga.
In fact, I woke up really sore - glutes, quads, triceps especially. It was pretty tough to get out of bed.
But the best cure for sore muscles is light exercise, I think - you can't just sleep or sit and let them stiffen up. And once I got out of the lake, 1.2 miles later, I have to admit, most of my soreness other than glutes was gone. Glutes must be from yoga, right? I don't think I usually get sore glutes from running.
Anyway, tomorrow is STP. Hopefully all leg soreness will go away by then, because that's a LONG time to sit on a bike seat and move my legs if they hurt.
The weather is looking good. I'm pretty excited! John is getting nervous, but he's been just so strong lately that I'm positive he'll have a good experience, too.
