Got back in the pool for the fist swim in... not sure how long. Swim tests in the 50, 100, and 500. Not sure where my times were compared to my peak... certainly off a bit, but much better than this time last year. Had immediate soreness in chest and shoulders, which was really something.
From there we went to the gym for an FTP test on the bike. If you've never done that, it is a 20 minute maximum sustained output. The trainer records your wattage the whole time, and then takes a percentage of the average to estimate how much power you could put out for 60 minutes. An interesting, objective benchmark. I was way off my peak on that as well, so lots of room for winter improvement.
