My knee, which was inflamed yesterday and stopped me from working out, was much better today.  It was so much better, that I could easily have done a workout. Instead, I chose to take a day off.  I want the knee to be fully recovered before resuming my training.

So what did I do with a day off that I didn’t plan for?  I mostly spent time at my computer, working on my race report for SwimRun NC.  This race was such a new experience for me, that my report is turning out to be a lengthy one.  I think that will be okay however, because so many of my friends have never done a SwimRun race, and are curious about what they are like.

The other ‘problem’ that I am having, is deciding which photographs to include in my report.  I have lots of great photos that my wife and friends took, but I also have the official race photos.  The race organizers share the race photos with the participants as part of the race entry fee.  Such a great thing to do, given how most other races charge close to $100 for them.

Even photos, like the one above, which don’t even have an athlete in them, are stunning.  That is the lake we swam in.  It doesn’t look cold when surrounded by all the trees in full autumn color, but it was.  I will hopefully publish my race report tomorrow. Get ready for a long read, with lots of photos.
