Thursday Swimming

Cowboy Jeff and I practiced our drills in the pool Thursday night for about 30-40 minutes. 

Sunday Cycling 

CJ and I rode 28 miles and averaged 16 miles per hour. I think we would have averaged closer to 18 mph...but we got lost at one point and had some in-town driving early in our ride. 

I was most concerned about the seat wearing me down (did not get padded cycling shorts) but really wasn't bothered by that at all. My biggest issues was my eyes...they got seriously irritated from the wind. I got a cornea scratch on one eye about 5 years ago that never quite healed...so my eyes are really sensitive. I'm going to experiment with tinted tri-goggles for both the swim and the bike so I can get a complete seal around my eyes. My eyes have been an issue on both rides I've done so far.
