Swimming 30:00 [3] 0.9 km (33:20 / km)
I told myself that I couldn't go to the gym until I finished my column for ONA since I am a big procrastinator and I'm already late with it. By the time I got that done and got to the pool, it was around 4:00 and the pool was quite packed. I was surprised because I've pretty much been able to get a lane to myself each time, but today a few of us were swimming laps in the open swim section since no one was there. I was extra careful to make sure I didn't have a head-on collision with anyone.
Also, I hate the kick drills, mainly because I usually don't feel like I'm moving at all. But today, I felt like I was going faster. Progress.

Cycling 40:00 [3] 7.4 mi (11.1 mph)
After swimming, I went into the gym section to do some cycling. I was surprised to see that there were no cycles like the one I use at the Reston gym, just spinning-type bikes and recumbent bikes, so I chose a recumbent one. I didn't think I'd like it because it was a weird position but I got used to it eventually. I think it's better for my knee.
