Dolphin in training

For some reason, I had started thinking that this month of fly training would really stress my shoulders. I had been noticing my shoulders being the most sore part on my body and even twitching from time to time after swimming fly in our previous workouts. I blame that line of thinking for convincing me it would be cool to start riding our bikes yesterday. Today was almost entirely a legs day. So much for my previous line of thought.

We had a new guy start tonight. I think he said his name was Rich, but I wasn’t paying all that much attention. I also noticed that Jeff didn’t show up… something about skiing all day. Chelsea wasn’t there either. I thought Mark was going to show up. He didn’t, but it was still a pretty good sized group.
