I hurt, or why I am triathlon training 9 months in advance

Friday was my first time on aerobars on my bike. That was good. A little more position fiddling, and I think I can pick up speed pretty quickly.

Today was my first time really swimming laps in, well, forever. I know I have swum the length of a pool before, but that 200yard swim this morning just about did me in. Lots o' work to do. A swim coach would be dandy, but represents more of an investment than I am willing to make at this point.

So bicycle good, pool bad. Now I just have to get back in the water on Friday.
