I wasn't trying to be a hero in the pool or at the gym today. My glutes and groin were still sore from Sunday's weight workout and trip to Six Flags, so I figured I needed a day to hold back when I could probably pick up into another gear. The pool workout was pretty tough, and holding those averages on the 100 back and 100 free were not easy. But, on the other hand, I was glad that I didn't have to do a 400 IM!
