Bike 8.3 miles in three legs and swim about a 1000 meters. Thunder and lightning began just as I meant to start my swim, so I swam inside, in the 20-meter pool. I didn't count laps then but did most with a kickboard, really trying to flutter-kick from my hips and dolphin kicking from my belly. After 20 minutes of rain, the sky cleared into blue cumulus perfection, and I crawled, breast-stroked, butterflied (one length), and side-stroked (tired now) to what I figured was a kilometer. My quadriceps ached and still do ache, and I took the homeward leg of bike quite slowly.
