We'd decided ahead of time to make this a recovery ride, so we only rode 20 miles, and at a slower pace than usual. We're not exactly taking any days off, but we know when to back off!
I swam Wednesday morning while Dianne played tennis. Thursday it was cool again. We had our jackets on when we left Dianne's house, and did not remove them the whole time we were out! We biked to Tarpon Springs against the wind, and walked through the Sponge Docks area. I was looking for postcards with manatees on them and finally found them at the 5th store we went into!
Then of course we had to go to Spring Bayou to see if the manatees were in. There were about 20 of them this morning! You have to look closely at the second photo, but there are 5 or 6 milling around together.
We walked our bikes through Craig Park under this magnificent tree! The wind was more friendly on our way back to Palm Harbor, but we still needed our windbreaker jackets.
This morning, Friday, I swam in an empty pool--it was 50 degrees out and even I was a little chilly starting out--it took 500 yards to warm up! After my workout I sat in the sun reading my book until Dianne was done playing tennis. Since this is Friday we will play Scrabble with her club at 1 PM and then go to the fish fry.
