Sunrise Swim

This morning I ventured across the street to meet RB for a morning swim. I've always wanted to swim in the morning but making my way to CP before work is hard. For the months of July and August NYC Rec Centers with outdoor pools open their doors to anyone for free! So the center in my hood has lap swimming in the twice a day and I've made it my mission to take full advantage of the pool. We swam for thirty minutes- not that amazing but it was just nice to stretch my body and loosen up a bit. Since this weekend's brick and then sunday's ride i've felt tight. With the race just over a week away, I want to keep exercising but I know I need to taper. So this morning's swim was refreshing and got my day off to a good start. I'm thinking of switching tomorrow's bike to a swim as well- its so convenient!
