Tired, so tired.

This morning, I dropped Mindy off and left Ethan and Elle with Pete since he was working from home, and I went up to the gym. I was so tired driving up there, and even once I got there and had to change into my swimming suit. I've just been staying up way too late lately. Today I'm going to make this really quick so I can get to bed. . . after I fold the laundry, and fix the new dress I just bought for tomorrow. . .

Anyway, what I did was:
S: long day
wu: 200swim, 200kick, 200pull, 200swim
main: 2 x 1200, RPE 3 , even pace on both
cd: 4 x 50, each slower than last

I was in the lane next to the deep water aerobics class, and that was kind of cool because they made it a little wavy for me. The more waves the better when it comes to triathlon training! I want to be ready in case I ever have to do a stormy day swim again. Anyway, like I said, I was really tired and didn't really want to do such a long workout, but I managed to get it all done.

I did my first 1200 in 25:25, and the second in 25:12 so I'd say that was pretty even paced.

I only did 2 x 50 for my cool down because the water aerobics class was winding down and I wanted to get out before them. I didn't want all the showers to be taken when I got in there.

When I got home, I made bread and went grocery shopping. Then I picked Mindy up and put Elle down for a nap, hoping I would get one too. Se was quiet for maybe half an hour, then she started crying. That wasn't quite long enough for me, I was just about to fall asleep. I don't know if she was just playing in there then got upset or if she just took a really short nap. I kind of think she didn't take a nap (especially considering how well she went to bed tonight), but I let her come out and tried to lay down a little longer, but that didn't work out too well. I really do need to get to bed earlier today. I'm going to get up early for my big ride tomorrow. Pray it doesn't rain too hard on me.
