So much to tell

Swimming
I can swim a 50 with fins only a second or two faster than without fins. Is that a good or bad thing?

Schedule-
Next week my Grandma is having eye surgery. She has to keep jher head down for 5 days. I was going to go to Laurel to spend some time with her, see my cousin, and relieve my cousin. Thought that going down Sunday after Masters would be good and stay until Monday. However, masters is doing the 1 hr swim. I am not super into it, unless you think that is exactly what I need right now. So , maybe swim at MSU ( but that is 1-4 and I was hoping to get out of town earlier) or skip it for the day? Thoughts? Bottom line, going to Billings Sunday and coming home Monday.
Tuesday - Big 24 mouse experiment. Will not be able to get away during the work day. If swim will need to go to masters. Probably won't get finished early enough to make it to MSU.

Computrainer
First, you were right about questioning my real time power which made sense as I was riding and thinking about it logically, I can get real time power but it does have to have some sort of basis.

Workout 1- I did a course that was supposed to be for endurance and it was hard to do the high cadence because it wanted more power so even if I shifted it made it harder. I could go the other way though, push more watts than asked for so the intervals were good. As I was watching the numbers though I don't have the same sense of feeling as just doing them by feel. The numbers provide a huge distraction. So, I did those 40 k intervals starting at 165 watts and moving up to 175 to 180 for the last few. Probably to hard for 40 k because I was pretty tired after the last one. Probably didn't have 9 more in me.

Workout 2- Total bust, but I am giving myself points for patience. Brought all my stuff to work(whole other story there) but forgot the bike. Had to pick up a dog and then get the bike. Bike had flat tire. Couldn't get tire back on. Used Erik's wheel. Set up computrainer. Took forever to figure out. Finally got it going and I couldn't get more than 117 watts. Something was wrong. Really annoyed. Did workout disregarding the numbers.

Grizzly- What do you guys do for timing? It isn't chip timed is it?

You know you are swimming a lot when the timing button on your watch never hits its maxed out time. I usually can tell when I last swam. 23 hours ago etc.

The week
Everything went fine. No missed workouts or changes. Maybe swimming on Tuesday was a bit of a bust. Coach Jamie said we hit an all time low. I think nobody was motivated and we all just kept feeding off of it. Still swam high 2000s though. My back SI joint has been feeling a bit sore but my hamstring is feeling better. Have been trying to do those "SI" joint exercises more often. Maybe running up hills bothers it?

Somehow this got away from me. Tired and going to sleep.
